NO SNOW HERE

... but it's all around us, apparently. The Malahat was closed last night for a time, and both Michael on Galiano and Monica on Mayne have checked in to say that they've got lots of it (and Monica was without power, as well).

We just got wind. Lotsa wind. For the third time since I commented a week or so ago that we hadn't had any windstorms to speak of. The forecast is still for snow, so it may happen yet ... but I'm skeptical, personally.

Meanwhile, I have finished a pair of socks that I can show you -- oh, yay. :)
(No, Esther, they are not identical -- I actually prefer fraternal twins, to be honest)!

My gratitude challenge for today was ...

Use the alphabet as a fun and quick format for making a list of things for which you feel grateful. Share this list with your social network through email, a blog post or a Facebook or MySpace page.

Well, I immediately started thinking of long lists of words, so I decided to limit myself to just 3 of each letter of the alphabet:
