Something for the baby this year

Well, this morning I realized I should probably make at least one thing for the baby in 2010. So this is what I came up with. I had some other patterns for some other cute booties, but these were the ones I had all the colors for.

So now our baby has Ugg boots, she won't be able to wear them for quite a while, but that's okay since she should be big enough to wear them for next winter.

I also decided that it's kinda hard to make baby booties, when you aren't exactly sure what your baby's foot is going to look like. Oh well, Sam said we could always put her in 3 pairs of socks and then these booties.

Happy New Year everyone!

White Christmas

Well, we couldn't have asked for a whiter Christmas in Ruby Valley. It snowed all week, then on Christmas Eve we had fog all day. This morning the horses wandered over to our house through the fog to say Merry Christmas, or maybe they were just looking for breakfast.
The fog finally lifted late Christmas morning, leaving everything covered in hoarfrost (or pogonip if you prefer) Usually the wind or sun makes quick work of the frost, but we stayed cold enough that it stayed all day.
Then at sundown we were treated to this beautiful light show. We may envy our southern-dwelling relatives most of the winter, but they don't get to see many days like this.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
