Project Spectrum Begins Again - Yay!


Mouse is Gray ;o)
and cute with a little bit of snow stuck to her head!


Oh Wow, I missed it yesterday, but Project Spectrum is beginning again! I was reminded by Jennifer's post!

There might not be as much knitting going on around here, for a while at least -- but we can definitely participate in the colour adventure of Project Spectrum ;o)

The colours for February are Blue, Gray and White. With our recent snowfall here, that shouldn't be too hard ;o)


Mouse prints in the snow - Mouse cat that is ;o)


Snow on the cedar tree branches



A little less fuzzy - later in the afternoon

The snow came again last night, leaving a new blanket over everything. A few flakes are still falling as I write this. The dogs are having lots of fun making mouthfuls of snowball and jumping around after each other in the wet drifts and banks. Mouse spends a lot of time sitting in the 'dry spot' outside and watching them - then asking to come in. I feel a little like the puppies - wanting to go outside and play in the snow ;o)

Still working on some computer programming -- and having some electronics to put up on Ebay later today. The purple weaving is progressing in the manner of about an inch per day -- which is pretty good, considering I am using embroidery thread as the purple and white! We had a laptop get a questionable error message yesterday and spent some time tracking and containing the problem - then getting it ready again for the user.

~~The mathematics of string theory suggests that the world we know is not complete. In addition to our four familiar dimensions (three dimensional space and time) - string theory predicts the existence of six extra spatial dimensions, 'hidden dimensions' curled in tiny geometric shapes at every single point in our universe. ... Just as a shadow can give an idea of the shape of an object, the pattern of cosmic energy in the sky can give an indication of the shape of the other six dimensions present ... Starting with two different types of mathematically simple geometries, called warped throats, they calculated the predicted energy map that would be seen in the unvierse described by each shape. When they compared the two maps, they found small but significant differences between them. ... The results show that specific patterns of cosmic energy can hold clues to the geometry of the six-dimensional shape - the first type of observable data to demonstrate such promise.

The wee hours of the morning and the snow is falling here too.
It is blistery cold here though. About 19 below celcius(zero C is 32 F)
There is a high wind howling tonight.
