SNOW!! And my rant of the day!

Woke up this morning to find snow on the ground. Not a lot, but it delayed school for an hour. My neighbors granddaughter (9) was outside playing in it and singing. Oh to be that age again and to enjoy the snow and not dread it. The driving is the worst of it because people forget how to drive in it and still the their brakes will work the same and do not allow for extra distance to stop. It won't stay long, but it still means winter is coming and it will so be 40 below zero in a few weeks. And oil prices are well over $3.00 a gallon now. I do not know how we would heat our home if we did not burn wood. The last time we used only oil we used 800 gallons. So it it hits four dollars a gallon as predicted, we would be spending $3200.00 for oil. That is more then we could ever afford! And gas is up to $3.20 a gallon this morning. We will be house bound for sure by the end of the month with those prices. I will have to find something to do soon to help with paying the bills. I don't know how we are all supposed to live with prices like these. GREED!! That is the problem with our world today...everyone for themselves and to hell with the little guy who works their asses off and still can't make ends meet. And no wonder our kids are not leaving home..they can't afford to!

Well, I hope to get my sock done tonight and start on the pink pair for my swap sock. I have never done one before so I hope she likes what I knit! And then to finish Cassandras sweater..the one from the neck down...the one that I hate with a passion. The one I would throw in the woodstove in a second if she hadn't asked for this sweater and bought the pattern for it. Oh well.

I do have a couple of cardigans I want to knit for my DGD. I will post pictures when I get them done.

Well, time to go go some housework before DH gets home from work and complains we are still living out of the boxes I promised I would have put away yesterday! HA HA

And the library called today to day my JA Jance books they got for me are in. I love her books. I was buying them from Amazon.com, but I just don't have the money to do that any more either! So I do need to go and pick the 3 books up so I can read in bed at night again.

KNIT ON!!
