The view from my Front Door

showing our hedge that is in desperate need of trimming too. One of the few spots in the village that still has a field across from it. I can't begin to imagine what that piece of property is worth. When you consider that this house (in the next picture) sold for $850,000 BEFORE they did at least that amount of work on it to make it look like this (and it is a tiny tiny house and property- about the same size as our house and property) This house is just off to the right of the field you see in the first picture (this picture was taken a couple of months ago - which is why there is no snow there - really there is no Bermuda Triangle thing working here where snow is all over but not in their yard)

I am so envious of everyone who has such fabulous writing abilities in showing their front and back yards - I really stink compared to you all....

And now to my sweater swatch

pre-swimming it. I cannot get the colors to be true but this is as close as I managed to get it after many tries. I am still excited and terrified to begin - so today I WILL begin this just to get past the terrified part.

In fact yesterday rather than start my sweater I did an 8x8 square to be sent off to be part of a blanket. Still have to block that today and hopefully it will go in the mail tomorrow. Oh, what I will do to put off beginning THE sweater......

The snow looks so nice. Then again, the people who actually HAVE snow say it sucks...but it really is beautiful!
