Storm coming

If you look at this morning's photo, you can see the storm clouds just beginning to move in. 

Feb 1

Any time now it should start to snow then change to sleet, rain and freezing rain. Our snow cover is slowly disappearing. Chances are though there is plenty of snow yet to come, as February is usually the snowiest month.

On my windowsills, despite the snow and cold outside, spring is getting underway in earnest. The next amaryllis is about to open --

And you can see on the left the next one after this is coming on as well. The Ponderosa lemon is full of flower buds and I just noticed that the lime, which is in the big pot you can just see in this photo, is setting new flower buds also. So pretty soon they will both have abundant fragrant white flowers.

Though my knitting focus is strictly on Arabian Nights these days, I am always looking ahead. Yesterday this beautiful wool/silk from colourmart arrived --

It will become one of the mystery lace projects, just which one I am not yet certain.

I have a nice long audio book -- Follett's Pillars of the Earth -- to listen to and a couple of Netflix to watch so I am all set for knitting for the next couple of days. Stay tuned for progress pictures.
