We didn't get the feet of snow that others got.  Though it snowed all day it was only several inches to clean up the snow we had already.

Phone Snaps

Had to travel an hour south to Keene, NH for a preop appointment for cataract surgery.  Returning I snapped this photo of the frozen Connecticut River as we crossed from VT to NH.

 


And then through the windshield this snap of Mount Ascutney.


It's snowing as I write this and forecast is a bit vague on the amounts we'll get.  Thermometer is reading 8ยบ so the snow is very fine and dry.

As to the eye surgery - just my left eye has the cataract and surgery will happen in April.  All elective surgeries are on hold because of staffing shortages right now.  Timing is fine with me.

Baby Blanket

 New granddaughter coming soon.

I crocheted this blanket for her.  The yarn was a mix of white, yellow, aqua and gray and to enlarge it after that yarn ran out I added the border of aqua.  When I showed the colors to my daughter she realized that she had a rug in those colors that she could move to the baby room and the color scheme worked for her.


Won't be long to wait now.
