Hat

I crocheted this hat for John from a pattern written down by my Grandma Eunice and made up by my Aunt Lois. I used Dune Twist in this yarn. I want one now, too, but in a different color.

Haircut

Friday before Halloween I cut my hair off again. I just couldn't stand it so long anymore. (Sorry, John.) Rachel at Laus Deo Salon did a great job, I can wear it curly or straight and both look good.

November roses: part III

It turns out that even five inches of snow followed by a solid week of below-freezing nights can't deter this rosebush. It's really a star! Our other two bushes are starting to behave like it's fall.

November roses: the sequel

We got five inches of snow on Saturday in a strange lake-effect snowstorm. It snowed all day at our house, but one mile to the west, or ten miles to the south or east, they got nothing but a bit of rain (all at the same elevation). Ten miles to the north, of course, is in Lake Erie. Happily, it's been in the upper 50s this week, so it's all gone now. Who knows what evil lurks in the heart of winter?
