Icicles

This is the view of my sewing room window. I feel like an ice princess held captive by the wicked snow queen. The front tires on the van are not gripping very well on our icy driveway, so Saturday we went car shopping in Dickinson. It is hard to find one car that will do everything...good gas mileage, comfortable for long trips, cargo room, and less expensive than a house. Since we live on a dirt road, we think "What will this color look like with a layer of Dakota soil?" Hard to find the perfect fit. So, we drove home in the van.Perhaps we want too much from one vehicle. Perhaps I am too conservative with how much I think a car should cost. Frustrating.

Richard is making slow progress, but just isn't hungry. He needs the calories to gain strength. Lance goes over to feed cats so his mom doesn't have to walk to the barn over a snowy driveway. Work goes slowly on the woodworking shed because of the other responsibilities.

Clinic is not busy, just enough patients to keep me going back and forth each day. I am up to block 4 on cutting kits for the new block of the month. I spent Thursday and Friday putting out new fabric collections and moving displays to make it all fit. It looks very fresh and spring-like. Over the weekend, I made garland for the front windows out of the western reds and blues. It is triangles of fabric strung on a string.

I have been watching the Olympics instead of housekeeping. I will do a cleaning marathon when the games are over. First things first!
