Hat!

I knit my first hat!

While this might seem silly to some of you who live in nice, warm, normal places where April brings dependable spring-like weather, it is perfectly fitting for those of us living here, in New England, who woke up to this today.

It's mother nature's way of saying "Ha! April Fools!" Anyway, D seems to like his new hat. He wore it all day.

baby it's cold outside

We returned from vacation to another foot of snow on the ground, having missed yet another blizzard or two while we were away. Our driveway is like a skating rink. Literally. You could lace up and skate around out there, no problem. While it's a bit dangerous for driving, the kids love it for playing. And while they played outside in the snow today I made a homemade whole wheat boule, using the standard recipe from 'Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day'. It was delicious, crispy on the outside and soft and moist on the inside. We made short work of it, polishing off half in about five minutes. I think I will need to add this to our weekly recipe list.
