GLOBAL WARMING







Well, we certainly had snow as promised. No, I didn't go to the pool. Last night's drive thru the blizzard left me with a desire to stay put. The dogs of course love the snow. No idea why. Even old and sick Nechung was dancing about in it. Edna looked like she's swallowed speed as she raced around biting at the snow, rolling it, and generally being loony. The yarn is called Global Warming and is dye by me using Kool Aid.

maybe they are channelling their ancestors, doesn't the breed originate from a snowy part of the world?

Loving the yarns, beautiful colours.

The dogs look so cute in the snow! Yarn looks good - just wait until you try out your 'real' dyes :o)

Love the yarn. But daddy, we're originally from Tibet--we can handle the cold and snow. Of course if they are like my Lhasa, they will soon want in to snuggle down in someone's lap or a blankie. Beautiful dogs.

What lovely bright warm colours set off against the snow - almost makes snow bearable :) And I know what you mean about dogs and snow - though for me, I truly delight in watching a kitten(or young cat)'s first encounter with snow.

Oh! That yarn looks so gorgeous in the snow. We're supposed to get up to 18" today. I can hardly wait - well, unless the power goes off. Your pups are just so adorable.

Your yarn looks wonderful, really bright and zingy. The dogs, as always, are adorable.

Beautiful colours, you've done a wonderful job. Dying yarn is so much fun. I can't wait to see what you make with them.

As for the snow, I'm very envious. I grew up in England and miss the change of seasons. Here is South Floridia it's either hot or hotter!!!

My garden is like yours and Elliot is very happy in he snow ! he didn't know what it was yesterday morning .. the problem is that he eats some snow and gets sick. So I can't let him as long as he would like in the garden. He is still a baby....
