Completed sweater

The sweater I started fifteen or more
years ago is finally complete. I'm
now starting on a new project. It is
a throw and the wool is washable. It
is easier to work with than the cotton
from which the sweater is made.

Today it is very windy and I'm
about to venture out to hang the
laundry. Hopefully neither I nor
the laundry will blow to Kansas.
If they do though, I'm sure Connie
will rescue them.

Nobel Peace Prize

The exciting news of the week was, of course,
President Obama being selected as the Nobel
Peace Prize winner!

I guess the local event of note this week is the weather.
The temperature dropped into the high teens Friday
night. The irrigation system at the Longmont house
was to be blown out and closed for the season at
8 AM on Saturday. Unfortunately that was about
6 hours too late. The system was at least partially
frozen up. We won't know what that means until
it thaws out. Hopefully, not too much damage!

We had a few inches of snow up here and our new
pink sidewalk stands out as a pink ribbon over
a white package. It looks quite pretty and has
been admired by the UPS man and the FedEx man.
They think it is wonderful! I'm sure they do.
Anyone who has made his/her way along that
path with their arms full, pushing a wheel-
barrow, or pulling a cart appreciates it
very much.
