I got out once in the break between one storm and the next. I've knitted, cleaned the fridge,watched reruns of Perry Mason and today will pull out all the guilt inducing bags of blackcurrants and make into jam. The little mutts are loving the snow but desperate for a good walk.

The sun is out today (along with single digit temps) but we are due for more gloom and snow for the next 3-4 days.

Oh, pshaw. My oven only looks nicer because it's been covered with a slather of homemade oven cleaner.

Bah!<br />Don't you just love those "puttering" days--lots of little things that make the day go so fast. Glad you at least did a little knitting and reading.

Nice job on the shoes and boots. Do you realize very few people polish their shoes anymore? (And it shows.)<br /><br />Two questions: The rubber band around the cabinet doors. To keep Lovey and/or Bertie from opening them? Or do you have some toddlers running around you've failed to tell us about?<br /><br />Number 2 question: The inside of your oven looks better than mine. When shall I schedule a house call? For you to come here to clean mine, I mean. Not for me to come there to clean yours. No, no, no, no. (Why do you think mine looks so bad? Could it be my extreme avoidance of the task?)Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.com
