Roasting Marshmallows

We finally took the time to roast some marshmallows in our fireplace; they were perfect.

Another Year Older...

 

In the early part of January, I turned another year older and decided it was time to go gray.  I got a short haircut and got some low lights put in to make the transition easier.  It is taking some getting used to and I am trying to figure out what colors look good on me.

 

I have also taken up knitting, but not because I am getting old, even though it would seem so...gray hair, knitting.  I bring the girls to Mom to clean house and then we sit and talk and do "hand work.".  I figured I could learn from Mom, it would be a good craft to easily start and stop, and I would at least do it every other week.  It is going better than I expected, and I am keeping it loose and even so far.  This is after about 4 restarts where I added stitches, dropped some, and had them fall off the needles.  Now I have a good start on a scarf that will hopefully be finished next winter.  The variegated yarn gives me much more of a sense of progress than a single color yarn; I don't know if I would ever choose a single color to knit.
