SNOW DAY!!!

Today the whole state of Maine is shut down! Before the snow even started here in Millinocket, the schools were closed and a lot of people didn't go to work. The southern part of the state got the snow early am and it started here around 7 am. The fire department horn blowing 8-8-8 woke me at 6:30 am to let everyone know that school had been cancelled. We are supposed to get anywhere from 12" to 20" by Tuesday morning. It is 1 pm and there is probably a little over an inch on the ground here. The snow is now coming down a lot steadier and it is starting to accumulate faster. I will be plowing while DH is at work tonight. He will not be coming home at 3 today for sure. He will have to stay until 11 pm to plow and salt and sand the roads in and around the mill complex. Supposed to have a big supper tonight with baked, stuffed chicken, mashed potatoes and fresh carrots. Oh well, will cook the chicken and make him a nice hot chicken sandwich and take it into the mill. He will be happy to have it...home cooking and some fresh home made bread.

I have been knitting away on the Lucy Bag for Christmas gifts. Have one completed and one half done. I also finished a pair of pink wool socks, and have half of the wool aran vest I am knitting for a Christmas gift for my DIL's mother. She loved the ones I knit for baby Sarah and I thought she would love to have one also.

I hope to be able to post some pictures later today of the snow and my knitting.

Stay warm all and

KNIT ON!!
