Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:Thank you all for your wonderful comments!
Sorry I was gone for 2 days – rehearsal in Salida for several hours yesterday, to prepare for 8 performances this morning at 6 different churches for Easter Sunday – 1st performance was at 7, which means I had to leave home at 6:15…I was the first one to carve a path through what is turning out to be our biggest and wettest snowfall of the year! Yes, we were freezing our butts off, standing outside at 7 am….
And yes, it is still snowing, off and on…

Ah but your viking knit is to die for my friend!
