Today I woke up to a ground covered in snow. I had work at 6:00 A.M., and the living room next to my bedroom looked so bright I thought I had overslept. It felt almost miraculous, until I called my manager and found out I had to be at work anyway. I was only there for a few hours, but we were very very slow when I was there. I got sent home, and the store ended up being shut down so that Nic could stay home as well. It was a great day. Nic, Tristan, Veronique, and I all chased around the dogs, who were confused as all get-out about why the snowballs dissapeared when they hit the ground. We have two dogs, one big fluffy dog that loves the snow, and one tiny skinny dog who is a nervous wreck, but imitates the big dog. They both ate a significant amount of snow.
I finished knitting my first scarf, made of wool from Cora (the name of the sheep). I bought this wool at the Sheep and Wool festival in New York. I can understand now the addicting properties of knitting. I like having something to do with my hands, and it feels like you are always working on a project in a good way. I wore my new scarf today during Nic, Tristian, and I's epic walk to waffle house, where we ran into the guy that got my dad into some trouble not too long ago. The scarf is a bit short, as I typically like longer scarves, but it very thick and warm. I feel proud. I am going to get some more yarn and move onto project number 2. Which I haven't decided on yet.
All in all, today was a beautiful day, although the snow is turning into slush and ice. I'm about to enjoy a cup of tea with Malvern honey. This day is only getting better.
