Unexpected

Well, I wasn’t expecting this today.

We had pouring rain on Thursday, and yesterday, while dry, was cold and cloudy and raw . . . basically, yesterday was February all over again.

And then tomorrow, we’re due to get a monster, killer, Nor’easter . . . though more rain than snow.

Who would have expected the day in between to start out so darn pretty?? It’s down-right “park-able” as we say in this family . . . perfectly nice weather for taking Chappy to the park.

But, since we were expecting something somewhat greyer and colder, more forbidding, Risa and I already made other plans.

Poor Chappy.

Now, for your distraction, take a look at this nifty site. Or click around this one. Or even this clip on YouTube. Because this man does some absolutely amazing woodcarving. I mean, how many people can carve their own (floating) Ferrari? Or furnish an entire house . . . including a basket of knitting . . . out of wood?

  1. Thanks for the condolences. Please give Chappy an extra hug for me today. Have a great weekend.

  2. Awww….poor puppy. Hope you and Risa have fun today though!

  3. Woe is Chappy! I am positive that you will make it up to him on another lovely day. :)

  4. Oh yes, the monster storm that wasn’t… we sat through a lot of dire predictions that didn’t materialize, too. Heh. Though it is raining to beat the band today.

    And I can’t believe the Rockaway Mall actually has a Wikipedia entry.

  5. It was a surprising and beautiful day. I sat outside and looked at the new Knitpicks catalog.

  6. I was so glad that we had that day of respite on Saturday – it would have totally sucked if the Clermont fest was rained out!
