Winter is roaring in today. It's supposed to get icy and nasty later this week.
I don't like this one bit. The local schools are starting back after the holiday break, and The Grandson now has the Wrangler. He has very little driving experience, and zero experience with ice/snow. I hope the adults in his house make him take the bus if the schools don't close again because of bad weather.
I am SERIOUSLY worried about Granddaughter #1, who is scheduled to drive back to college all the way across the state later this week. She, too, has not had much experience driving on snow/ice, and I-40 is crazy on a good, clear day.
With all of the traveling, health issues, and remodeling at Son #2's house in recent months, we have not yet winterized the back porch. We may not get to it at all this year, which may seriously hamper my wintertime mojo. I do my best thinking out there.
Last week, I succumbed to YouTube bait and now am somewhat obsessed with bookbinding. Over the weekend I tried my hand at making a couple of notebooks/journals/sketchbooks. It was not a complete waste of time and materials, as I built them with scraps and ended up with a couple of usable sketchbooks. but they are not by any means "gift quality." (There's a third one in progress on the studio table; it'll be a little better.) It occurred to me that this might be useful knowledge if/when the county archive gets up and running.
