Home Run!

I was quite taken with these fabulous snow/rock sculptures on our patio fence. It's already covered in snow again. 

It's been a day of connecting! I had a nice long conversation with my siblings this morning. Nancy lives in Minneapolis so is up close and personal with all of this chaos and tragedy. Marilyn and LaVonn are living through frigid cold in Wisconsin....and Doug is getting freezing rain in Atlanta. We're expecting up to 15 inches of snow here in Maine overnight...so we had lots to talk about. 

I also had a good long chat with Clarke today....which is always a delight. 

Remember Clarke's Creature Christmas? She loves knitting these little frogs...and said she may be making them the rest of her life. They have unlocked something in me....she said. I totally get that.

There was nobody more special to Clarke than her grandmother....dear sweet Margie. When Margie turned 92 Clarke sent her a purple sweatshirt with SHUPE 92 on the front....and Margie wore it with pride. Purple was the color of the Colorado Rockies...and Margie was a fan. 

She was wearing it on the day of the the solar eclipse...and staff snapped this photo of her. 

Clarke wanted a frog of her own...so made one as a tribute to her grandmother.

Could it be any cuter? Home run!

She actually knitted the Shupe...and 92 into the tiny sweater!

Blows my mind!

Here's another one she made for a work white elephant gift exchange....that's the company logo on the back which is stitched on top of the sweater. Somebody was really lucky! Another home run! Well done Clarke!
