ski season- 23 days in

ski season officially hit telluride on turkey day and i feel like we haven't stopped moving since I woke up that morning to make an apple pie. in the last 23 days we've skied, played with the dogs, gone to yoga, baked cookies, knitted hats and worked a lot. Dave even managed to sneak in a quick trip to summit county with chaos but that's been it. we're in survival mode and are hoping to dig out before new year's eve... or groundhog's day....

Hats and dogs

Six years ago my friend Beth taught me to knit. I never got beyond the 6th row but carried around the yarn and needles she got me all this time. This summer I stumbled on it and re-learned how to knit with my friend YouTube. Really, you can learn anything on YouTube. I tackled scarves and hit up my local yarn store, Needlerock Fiberarts, for more supplies. I ventued into circular needles and knitting in the round.
I'm now on hat #4 and cruising along with help from knitting books from the library (I like the kids ones as they keep it simple), checking out knit hats that Beth has gifted me and of course a bit of YouTube....
Dave is into the new hobby as he is in the thick of snowmaking and it's cold out while these wool hats are toasty. The pups would rather go play but cope well with quiet nights curled up on the couch.

wicked good dog couch

I think LL Bean should rename this to the Wicked Good Dog Couch. We ordered one while on our visit to Maine- Colby even did a quality control check for us.

Chaos has never been a huge fan of any bed but ours and this dog couch perked his interest and he's slept on it almost every night since we've been back.... too bad for Chaos that Mayhem also enjoys the big bolstered couch....

thankfully they negotiate well...

guess we should have gotten an extra large....

The last month has looked a bit like this (cue photo montage)




In the last month we moved everything into storage, drove to Maine and back, moved things out of storage and into new place, spent time with friends, played with the puppies and got married.

Phew...
