The weather was great, and the gulls were hungry.
I had sympathy for Tippi Hedren...
Little cloud action coming in.
Along with the tide going out.
The lighthouse from Nye Beach.
Wish I could have had closer picture...
I can't remember the proper name for this creature.
The skeleton washed up on the coast, and they made a mold
of what it might have looked like. They paint it different colors
every so often. I try and get pictures of it as the paint scheme
changes, Husband always knows I will ask to go see the
"Dragonfish".
It was a great day. A little windy, but it was, oh, about 65 or so, and sunny, nice, nice day.

Then came about 2 days ago, in the morning. The wind had been heavy all day, several places had lost power, then I looked outside to feed the cat, and saw...
This...
There was about an inch or so. It was wet, sloppy, cold,
and generally not what I wanted for THE WEEK BEFORE SPRING!
Sorry for the blur. Just trying to show the snow.
Stupid groundhog!
In case anyone thought I had fallen off the earth, remember last blog I mentioned being in the Iknitarod?
I was knitting like crazy this whole time. I started, then got to the center. Did my decreases. Ran out of yarn, and realized I had screwed up royally! I had not read the instructions right, and had decreased once on each side, not twice, as written. which basically made it a big, house shaped, pentagony thing. Frog, swearing not so silently, and start from the middle, over again. Decrease CORRECTLY this time. I finished about 5 pm, local time, with the edging, and was able to have it count, as the first musher of the Iditarod came in last night at 8, (Dallas Seavey) so I was in the time frame. (Whew!!!)
For a simple pattern, it took a h*** of a lot of effort! I am now going to knit something... Sockly, I think.
After I take a short break and write some letters. I have several folks that I need to reply to. Let's just say the Month of Letters went better than I could have imagined! I am not going to write every day, but I am going to make a point of replying to the letters I've received. And perhaps a few that I haven't managed to get to yet... Urk.
A letter's a letter, right???

Congratulations! You knit as fast as the dogs run, that's quite an accomplishment.
Yes, a letter is a letter, and it's something not done often enough any more, taking time to hand write a nice response. (Guilty as charged.)
As for the groundhog, the poor guy is just the messenger, and promised 6 more weeks of winter. At least he didn't lie, like human meteorologists are so often accused of doing.
Wow, one extreme to the other.
Yes, I will have to put up a picture on my next blog, that you don't see in this area that often... Right now, it seems that we are just getting snow/rain, so if all goes well, we won't have the wind nonsense...
