Look at the sky, look at the river, isn't good?

The longer I live here, the more I love this house.

This morning is glorious, albeit a little on the cool side
with the temp widget showing 13 degrees F or for those
who made the jump to metric -10.5 degrees celsius.
(centigrade)

Looking out of the skylight in the slowly coming together
craft room.
















Yet another look out of the upper hallway window















I really don't get tired of the view.

Which reminds me, I did actually knit in December

FO Hat for Foster Child, Boy Aged 10
Ribbed Snow Hat.















It came together so fast, that I decided to
knit another for myself.

Simply because, I don't have hair now.















Yeah, It's gone.... 3 years in the growing.
Oh, the scarf?

Harriet knit that for me a buncha years ago
and it's still one of my favorites.

For what it's worth, the girls
won't get out of bed.

    Amy, long story with a perfectly good reason that it happened.

    Bad haircut turned into a 3 year hiatus.
    I could not find a haircutter to save my life in Smallbany until now.

For what it's worth, there ain't much unless you drink. Even then, most of those places are hardcore dives. Yet, there is one place that can be counted on time and time again..... Yeah, I am a sucker for the "Upstate Soft cone" the $2.00 treat that kept us going and driving from one stand to another when were utterly broke when we arrived here. Yeah, Corner Ice Cream is still the best Followed closely by Jumpin' Jacks Snow Man sadly is not in the running.. but still places in the top 20 This place is located on 5th Ave in the 'Burg, open 'til 10:00

Mystery Wheel

Over the weekend, My wife Harriet and I hit an estate sale because we saw "LARGE ESTATE SALE (GLENMONT)" in the local edition of Craigslist. What really intrigued us was this snippet from the ad "NEW SMALL SPINNING WHEEL" To us, small means an Ashford not a great wheel What we found was Marked at $125.00 This made me want to pass.. Except this was day TWO of the sale and everything was...... HALF-PRICE...... This was worth $62.50 even if it did not work just for parts... I does not have a makers mark however BTW it does spin... See this image .. I added that purple leader and I spun that last night. Oh yeah it's a double drive that seems to have leather bearings and a solid flyer / whorl combo. Detail here.... Maddening I say, he who is used to the Ashford set up. I think it's from the mid-sixties as a kit-decorative wheel as the mains are affixed to the platen via square head 1/4" 20's nuts. And the legs have thread heads for screwing into the p
