Wintertime in Central Oregon is now upon us. Some days are bright and sunny, others bitter cold with or without snow, and sometimes every weather type happens in one day. Rain is rare on this east side of the Cascade Mountains and this year seems to be our year for snow, so far. The local ski mountains of Mt. Bachelor, Hoodoo and Timberline are enjoying the fresh snow. Usually the sun comes out and melts the few inches that accumulate but not so this time. It started early Sunday morning with approximately three inches, stopped for the day, then another 1/2 inch this morning and is still coming down. Great fun for the grandchildren and making snow angels.
After the morning chores of feeding sheep and chickens I will have time to devote to my sock knitting. With five little ones ages 1-6 it is fun to plan and create a new pair of socks for Christmas morning stockings. I have loads of books and loose patterns that I have collected but haven't been able to find one with a ruffled cuff. If anyone has one they would like to share, please do.
