Snow

Neighbour just plowed my driveway, hopefully wide enuff for propane truck to come down. Haven't had a fill up since last January so think maybe its getting a bit low. Tractor driver (Troy) thinks that there is 20+ inches, he then cleared off my porch and steps and shoveled around car so could get out now if I had to. Am not planning on going anywhere for some time, staying home knitting on current socks.  I went out Wednesday to Tatla for KB and to pick up veggies from good food box, $20 and I end up with way more veggies than I could buy in grocery store.

                         I bit the bullet and went to town on Wednesday for last denturist app't, lucked out majorly (trumpism), within 10 minutes of getting home Thursday 3 pm started to lightly snow, before I went to bed 4-5 inches and during the night rain.

But along with snow arctic temps are visiting, lows overnight in the -20's C below 0° F. Had just turned down comforter so even with window cracked I will be warm enuff, especially with the nuked rice bag for my feet. Sock #1 of the pinky purples almost done, not sure if I will make it 7-8 or larger, leaning towards 9-10 , several peoples I know have larger feet. Once this pair is done will have a go at orange socks for Vicki (wild but of course). Went to town Tuesday and half of Wednesday, home just after 1 pm, denturist again, only one more trip mid month to pick up new lower partial. Didn't buy much in grocery store, everything I got easily fit into three of my reusable store bags. But still had to make 2 trips, one for grocery stuff then back for overnight bag and knitting. While in town first thing I did was drop off my flat snow tire, t
