Florence, Italy!

We are off to Syracuse tomorrow morning, staying overnight because there is supposed to be snow and we have to drive through a very bad region for snow off the lake (enough that they sometimes have to close the highway).  Saturday early afternoon we catch a flight to Washington, from there to Zurich, and on to Florence!  I can't believe I'm actually going!  Totally on my bucket list.  Alex is moving into the house to take care of everyone.  He is such a sweetie!

We will be gone a week and hopefully the weather will have moderated some by the time we get back!  While I like snow, I think it is time for spring.  Though up here I know I'm asking for mud season.  

There will be photos to come, I promise!!

Two cuffs in the making...splitting the warp in two because

it is too wide for a wide cuff.  These will have

to wait until I'm back!

Spring Break

Noah was home for the week for Spring Break.

His last Spring Break from college.

And, yes, this is spring in the North Country!

Two new feet of snow.

I do have to say it was BITTER cold!

Like 6 degrees.

 And the snow was over my boots

where I was trying to stand

and take pics with his camera.

And I was laughing hard enough

to fall over.  The wind was howling, snow

was going sideways...all while

he kept yelling at me to "Hurry UP!"

He is a hardy soul.

Our entertainment factor certainly

goes up when he comes home.

We have a Date!!!

We have a tentative date, anyway...April 13!!!

This gives the weather

a chance to moderate somewhat,

the snow to melt,

the sun to dry the land.

I'm telling Duke tomorrow.  He is so quiet

and seems so lonely even though he

never got along with Miss Ellie.

Speaking of Miss Ellie...she is doing fine

over at a barn nearby and the owner/trainer

is going to buy her.  She actually seems happier

there probably because they are so at ease

with b*tchy mares.

And maybe because she has mare friends

and Duke isn't kicking her.

My Alex went down near Albany for a job interview

which went well and he is expecting to

get and accept this job.  My mechanical engineer...

Noah will be home tomorrow for a week

from Skidmore.  Hopefully when he

graduates this spring he will get a job fairly

close as well.  This letting go is a little

difficult.

Yes another reason to fall in love with this horse...

And I sold this scarf already!

Just have to weave off two more!

Enjoy the weekend!
