I Like Thursday: What's That White Stuff?

Since so many of the I Like Thursday crowd have been showing off their early-season snow, I decided to get in on the action.  Seriously, I'd have been fine not keeping up with the Joneses.  I'm not ready for winter.

It's pretty, though.  The sun came out on Saturday.  Blue sky and sun-on-snow is a wonderful combination!  The grey and gloomy photo below is from Friday morning just after the snow stopped.  Sticky, heavy stuff.  Good thing I brought in the last of the green tomatoes on Thursday - this snow and cold killed off everything.

Last year we had absolutely no interest in the bird feeders.  It killed me because I listened to the goldfinches twitter in the trees all winter.  This year?  The goldfinches and pine siskins have been out in force.  Absolute chow-hounds.

And now it's back into the 60s.  I may get out kayaking again!  

Very little (watchable) stuff on TV.  So many of my favorite shows are on hiatus.  We've been pulling old shows from the library.  We're in the middle of watching Campion.  I love Peter Davidson in this roll.  It's too bad there's only two seasons. 

I've been reading, too.  I just finished The Starless Sea.  Did you read The Night Circus?  This book had the same surreal, dream-like feel.  I already returned it to the library, but I may have to check it out to re-read.  There's so many details, I'm sure I'd pick up more tidbits the second time around.

I finished Creekbed!  And I've started quilting the braid quilt.  I taped all my doodles on the wall; it's a little overwhelming.  Improv quilting looks so amazing and pretty but it's not easy.  At least not for me!  I have to stop and think what and where I'm going next.  It does NOT flow.  I'm hoping it will get better as I go along.  So far I can only work on it 30-40 minutes at a time.

I saved my biggest like for last (and it's huge!):  I got a job offer.  I accepted.  I spent yesterday filling out paperwork and contacting people.  I'd been hoping the last two months that I'd land here - I'll be working with two ex-coworkers.  Exciting!  I'm going to miss all my free time but so entirely grateful to have a job again. 

That's it for me.  A small slice of cheer and normality in an otherwise crazy week.  Check out I Like Thursday at Not Afraid of Color for some more (hopefully) uplifting content to break up the doomscrolling.
