Snowy Photos of a Different Sort and a Finish ~

Imagine our surprise yesterday when we got these two photos from my sister who thought she was escaping the snow in Minnesota by traveling to Arizona!



Never before have I seen snow on cacti. She also said that Nogales, Mexico, had 6 inches as well, and I just saw a photo of lots of snow in Las Vegas, Nevada!



Well, our snow is just about gone although we've had a few rain/snow showers the past few days in addition to mostly gray, cloudy skies.  All the gloom has given me a severe case of startitis, but I do have a finish to share, another Interrupted Cowl in Bamboo Bloom's color called Forest Light.  That yarn was in my stash and a perfect color for someone who's yearning for spring!



And wouldn't you know it, I cast on another one in a different color and a similar yarn called Bamboozle.  Now to get back to work on some more finishes, right?

Whoa! I've never seen snow on cacti either. Love how the yarn worked up for the cowl - it looks fabulous.

Snowy cactus!!! Now THAT'S a surprise.

Your cowl is so sweet. You'll be needing it to bundle up against the crazy weather you've been having.

We are having a wind storm this morning. Holy cow .... It just rolled out 65-gallon recycling bin over TWICE!

Have you seen the video that the Tucson PD made about the "suspicious white substance" they were investigating? Hilarious.

Snow in Arizona, wow! Still it will be a visit she won't soon forget. Have a wonderful week.

That’s crazy! We know a friend who lives just outside of Palm Springs who had 6 inches of snow the other day! What in the world is going on? Meanwhile it’s supposed to snow here again Wednesday. It’s crazy, so close to March.
Love the cowl. Those colors are beautiful.
Blessings,
Betsy

I love the snow on the cactus. Very pretty. I don't understand weather anywhere and I'm not going to pretend like I will right now. Your cowl has spring colors indeed!

I am 48, have 3 children, 2 boys age 25 and 22 and a daughter of 11. My husband left me last year after 25 years of marriage (he turned 50). It has been the most difficult year of my life, but full of lessons about myself and what life and marriage are all about. I am passionate about marriage and i didn't give up on my husband. resides in USA, I entered online in search of advice on how i can amend my marriage while i was at work. I saw so many positive reviews and nice feed back about how a Doctor called Robinson.buckler@ yahoo. com has been wonderful with his work. I gave a shot to make contact with him via his Email and he assured me that my marriage will be peaceful and i believed in his words. 16 hours after he finished work, my husband came back home pleading and now, we are living peacefully again. Get in contact with him if you need any help.
