A slight setback


Actually, it was a rather large setback: 18 inches of fresh snow on Tuesday, March 14. We'd been enjoying patches of bare ground up until the blizzard hit. Now we're back to snow covering the ground. Although the snow has melted a little and settled a little, I'm sure there's at least a good 12" of it out there.
In the late afternoon during the storm I braved the elements to take Sage out for a potty break.
It was tough going, and crawling over the snowbank at the end of the driveway, compliments of the town's snowplows, was a real challenge.
I finished the Child's Sophisticate cardigan that I'd been working on for several days, then I added a hat to match.

With still a little yarn left over, I made a couple more hats. These I'll donate to charity.

I'm not entirely depressed by last week's snowstorm. Spring will come to Maine.

It's just that some years it's a long while getting here. Meanwhile, I have three pots of fresh basil growing on my kitchen windowsill.

  1. That snow would be quite a set back for me. We have sun today but I think it's only the second time in a month. We're in our rainy season. Love the knotting. You must be very fast.
