Prairie-dogging

Just popping my head up to let y'all know I'm okay.  (For some definitions of 'okay'...)
Right now, my plate is full, my cup runneth over (not necessarily in a good way), and I'm fresh out of spoons.  And that's enough mixed metaphors to make quite a salad.  Please pass the ranch dressing.
I promise to post when things calm down a little.  Say, to less than a mild uproar.
Hang in there.  That's what I'm doing.

Just to tide us over

Maybe while we're waiting for real chicks, I should make some of these...

Pattern here.
Photo and pattern from Myrtle & Eunice.  Thanks, Myrtle and Eunice!

All I can say is, there's nothing like a nice warm wool hat when it's -9F (-26 wind chill)

Yeah, that's really all I can say...
