Winter Walking

We drove again today to one of our favorite places to walk. It is a wildlife management area that we particularly like to visit on Sundays. I get to knit on the way. Unfortunately we discovered that all of the brush, and tall grasses have been mowed down since our last visit. The rose hips that I photographed in the fall are gone. It will all grow back of course, but we were disturbed to find our place so altered.

Still, it was beautiful out in the cold. -Polly

Me Updated

I feel that I ought to change my blog profile picture, because the current one is not very recent. However, I seem to be photographed only when I am holding a photogenic small child. As my attractive children have grown older and heavier to hold, these photo opportunities now happen infrequently. Here now are two photos that I am considering. I think that they are both representative. Please notice that the top picture has a fortunate flash of light that helps to reduce the visibility of my nose. -Polly

Freezing

Our passionflower is wintering indoors. Thankfully so am I. -Polly

Current Sewing

Some practical sewing has been taking place here.

Also some painting is underway, the results of which I will show you another time. -Polly

Visiting Plants II

I have performed another plant home visit. This is really one of the loveliest of chores. Along with checking in on the plants, I was able to visit with a fish tapestry that I wove many years ago. There are many nice reasons to give your artwork to people that you know and like. As time has gone by, I realize how much I enjoy having some of my older work around where I can see it again. - Polly
