I love the snow
It hides the junk in my backyard, so no-one knows that Sanford and Son live here. Yes, we have only half a deck. The deck on this house is huge and oddly shaped (to accomodate the nasty old above ground pool that used to be here, which we removed pretty much as soon as we'd closed on the house). We're taking the deck off so only the original porch will be left, which means more garden! This is the year we're finally going to do some work putting in the garden back here, because next year I *might* be away at grad school. So expect to see lots of pictures of dirt coming up this spring (whee!).
The fatties got their first taste of snow yesterday. They are almost 11 years old, but only go outside in good weather, under supervision. I let them poke their heads out the door while I was taking pictures:
This is how far they got.
Because I know you guys love the exciting photos of slides in sheets, here's what I did this weekend:
These are going to Nova Scotia College of Art and Design.
I only have one more package to do, for the University of Georgia. I've decided to only apply to three grad schools instead of the original six. I have a pretty good reason for this, but I'll have to tell you later. In the meantime, today I'm going to London to teach papermaking! It's a two hour bus trip each way; how much knitting should I bring?

I think the photos of slides in sheets is definitely my favorite.
No doubt.

LOL! I love the kitty prints in the snow. Too funny. And I think you should bring LOTS of knitting with you. :)

Have a good class! Hey, I know putting those slide sheets together takes a LOT of time. Looks good. :)

You're here today? I wish I'd known -- although, I don't think I'll be driving anywhere in this weather. I hope your papermaking goes well, in any case.
Love the kitty print in the snow.

The pictures of the little kitty feet are too cute. You must clue me in about your trips to New Castle. I have spent many hours trying to forget my ties to that area!

Hey Jodi we finally had some snow here, I love it when it covers everything. What days are you teaching at Western? Simon may be heading up for an interview so if we can arrange it for a day where you are there that would rock. The slides look great btw.

I'm so glad you made yourself known at my blog, or I might not have found you. I love YOUR Mariah design, btw, but I never knew it was yours! Now we're talkin'. I'm still shuddering at the fries on the salad. And that jerk who left you a nasty comment. JERK. Give him some fries on his salad. Please. Preferably cold.
