Snow at the Ponderosa

My Hubby, many years ago, put a sign in our front yard. It says--Tyjeski's Polish Ponderosa. So here is the snow we got in the last 2 days. These pics were taken this morning pre plowing and we have gotten more since then.

I know that it has been a long, long time since I posted. I remain in remission which is a good thing. Hope to show you some knitting soon. Even though I have not posted--I do read your blogs. Happy knitting to all.

On No Here's The Snow!!

And this is why I wouldn't want to be going to Knitting On The Square in Chardon, Oh today. One week later this is what we got up to today in the secondary snow belt--and yes this is Lake Effect Snow. For those of you who don't know what Lake Effect Snow is--it is when the winds blow across the not frozen waters of the Great Lakes (for us Lake Erie and sometimes from Lake Huron) and voila--snow is created. This is not the worst snow storm I have ever seen--but it sure is early in the year for this much snow. We have at least 7 or 8" total out there and are expecting more.

The awful part is I have to work today and get to drive on those awful roads--not to mention how much I hate cleaning off the car. We do have a huge pole barn--but it is filled with antique cars--tractors etc.

As far as knitting and crocheting goes--I am trying to finish my Grandson's afghan and am working on a pair of socks and a NovemberWrap. This is a ravelry Link--if you are not signed up go to ravelry.com and sign up for an invite. This is truly the best knitting community in the world.

Well that is about it today. Happy knitting to all.

Cook Forest, Pa.

We spent a nice relaxing weekend in Cook Forest, Pa.--last weekend. We had a great time. Just a few pics to show you. We stayed at Gateway Lodge. Pretty expensive but a great place to stay--and since we had cancelled our summer vacation, this made up for it. Hope that you all had a great weekend.

Pileated Woodpecker

I managed to get a coupla pics of this guy the other day through the window--if I open the door he flies away. We saw three at once the other day. They are amazingly large woodpeckers. We get several different kinds of woodpeckers at the suet feeder in the winter.
