Random winter pictures

We got the first snow early in November, it was a horrible 24 hours with nearly 1 meter snow(wet, heavy snow) in very few hours. Total stop in traffic for 12 hours. Stockholm really wasn´t prepared for anything like this.

It took only one week and all the snow was gone.

But we have got snow and just now it´s about 20 cm snow, which make everything much lighter. Unfortunately it has been some warm Days and now all roads are iceroads.

The cold weather has arrived

It has started to snow, Mizu was out for 1 sec., Gullis a little longer.

Otherwise nothing to tell, just hope there will not be so much snow, but my old bones are aching.

Take care Jaana

Cats

I don´t know how others succeed to take photos of their Cats, but it´s almost inpossible with my two. They real have when they seen the Camera in my hand. But here are few I've taken:

 Gullis is the daughter of Mizu, she will be 12 yrs in April:

they don't eat together, this is where Gullis eats

while Mizu eats on the table

and sits on the window sill, looking out,

but most of the time she just is outside even over nights

Gullis on the other hand will just visit outside and sleeps besides me on in the sofa

or alone in the armchair

New Year

One Year passes so soon. Can anybody find the brakes, please.
I celebrated Christmas in Finland with my parents, I`m really so greatful I still in the age of 60 have both my parents to celebrate with. I also met my sister with hubby and my Nephew with wife. The only one I couldn´t meet this time was my little brother, he lives in Helsinki with his family and it´s over 400 km between Helsinki and Pori, where my parents live, about 4 hours by buss.

Dad, soon 83 yrs

Mom, will be 80 this Year

As usual I bought very much yarn, too too much, in fact I have so much yarn at home so I don´t need buy any this Year and maybe not even next Year. My Dad thinks I`m cracy when I fill my luggages with yarn, but for some reason it´s much easier find yarn in Finland than here in Stockholm.
I also left 6 pair wool socks for the Facebook project *wool socks for veterans, Finland 100 year*,
I will continue knit until all 18000-20000 socks are knitted, I think we are some hundred who are knitting, in the last counting there were 11 000 knitted socks ready for delivery. The pattern is only for this project.

It's only 5 pm and very dark outside so better stop here and get Cats in, Mizu the mother cat was out whole last night, I don´t want any repeat.

Take care   Jaana
