my jasmine vine

Maybe one of these days I'll post more in detail about my new room...

But for now, as the snow piles up 'round our ears,

I thought I'd share my little bit of green life that keeps

my window sill looking cheery (and smells incredible...)

My jasmine vine.

It's growing so quickly... it will need a new pot soon.

 I found this lovely little thing at Trader Joe's

last week. I've been searching for just the right plant for awhile -

and was overjoyed to finally bring one home.

(Trader Joe's is indeed a wonderful place...)

So that's my little prelude to Spring for you;

now for another weekend of being snowed-in;

and knitting. :)

a world of ice

The dogs and I ventured out this evening for a look at 

the damage caused by two days of freezing rain...

Not bad considering.

We're very thankful (and surprised) to still have power.

 Sweet old Buster and Huck...

Here's a giant Spencer among a sea of icebergs...

Keep warm everybody!

And if the weather is above 65 where you live -

I don't want to hear about it. ;)
