I found this bit of snow which had collected on an aspen leaf that had settled in the evergreen tree at the park.
Its been a few days since it snowed and the temperature has warmed up so I see a bit of ice forming on the bottom edge.
I found it a nice image on my walk yesterday.
Of course, Alex Trebeck has been hosting for long time and it was very sad to hear of his passing.
I will miss this Canadian smile, kindness and class as he hosted some many people on this game show.
No gimmicks just great show.
My first Granny Square since the 1980's. I had to do a lot of research to find a pattern that worked for me. Before the internet where would I have seen a pattern for crochet?
There used to be monthly magazines which you bought monthly. They had all kinds of crafty and food ideas. This is the Christmas Helps from 1980. I found a traditional Granny Square pattern in it. And it is all contained in a single entry. I was finding on the internet the information was spread over a few pages and no print file was available.
I made home made Ginger Chews recently. I had discovered some packaged ones which tasted pretty good. One of my favorite flavors in food is ginger so I went on the web to see if I could find a recipe.
I found Fiery Ginger Chews recipe which is very yummy. It reminds me a lot of pulled taffy we used to make when I was a kid.
They are very sticky and I decided not to coat them in icing sugar as suggested. I just wrapped them in wax paper.
Very yummy and good for coughs and nausea as well.
The Macro Monday Challenge on Flickr this week was Spiky. A lot of options for this challenge.
I found bottle brush trees, push pins and pods from the potpourri.
You can check my photo stream SMDPics to see the image I submitted.
