The Iowa Shuffle ..............



Snow.




More snow.






And still more snow.

Yes ... there is a garden there.  Hopefully, I will  be able to assess the viability of the perennials and shrubs and the survival of a bench before June arrives.  ;)

It seems that our 2 acre yard has 5 acres of snow in it!!!

That's like me trying to squeeze into my summer jeans!!

Ain't going to happen!


 



So on Saturday, Honey borrowed a tractor and moved snow.




And moved snow.

 



And moved snow.


He really deserved these new warm, wool socks......



And a cup of cocoa!!!!!!!!

Well, I'm not going to feel too sorry for Cliff. I noticed that he chose to borrow a tractor with a heated cab! (I'm sure he also had the radio tuned to his favorite station.)

I went to a tractor with a heated cab a few years ago. I got tired of sitting out in the elements until I got so numb that my body parts would no longer function. After a few times of stepping off the tractor onto legs that couldn't function, I decided that what this aging body really needed was heat.

Heated cabs sure beat "the good old days" -- Huh, Cliff?

I believe a lot of us can relate to the snow. Currently our driveway is under 3-4 inches of snow, then 1/2 of ice, no snow blowing that and last evening another 3 of snow on top of that. I forget the amount before the ice storm. Oh, and we are in line for another storm this week, we may need to borrow a tractor!! Stay warm and safe.

Colleen ... I use size 2 or 3 needles and 56 or 64 stitches. Depends on the gauge. I use Ann Budd's knitting book ... it is so easy ... find our gauge, size, then knit.

Not fancy ... but fool-proof every day socks.

And I do use the kitchener stitch bind off.
