winter pictures on a spring day

Or, things I didn't get around to posting.

Cold sheep.
January day.
Norwich, Vermont.
5 degrees above zero.
Dirt and straw and steamy breath.

I love this sheep.





And some pics to warm the heart of any knitting mother of a teenaged kid, or any mother of daughters, or any reader of early feminist American literature, from our annual mother-daughter weekend getaway:

Teenaged girls knitting while listening to "The Yellow Wallpaper."

Teenaged girl perplexed by knitting, or perhaps by "The Yellow Wallpaper." Either way, she figured it out.

life can be so very sweet
