Brrrrrr...

I had to take the picture of the bank sign this morning for my blog. This is the sign at 8:30 a.m. when I was on my way to work(late but I'm always 5 minutes late and always have been). I'm actually a little disappointed that it was only 16 below! 20 below would be even more impressive, but probably I would've had to be out there at 5 a.m. to get that one. I hope it's cold enough to impress those of you in warmer places like Virginia, Atlanta, Phoenix, at least! Don't you wanna come visit us?

Behind the sign you can see our new library in progress. Since it's only four blocks from our house, we can't wait till it opens in the fall.

And here's my hat. I knitted it for myself a few weeks ago, inspired by SouleMama who made one and put it on her blog here. George says it really makes me look "crunchy granola" because of the color yarn I chose. I just thought it blended with my hair! I got my pattern for free here. I used the pattern for worsted weight yarn which you can find in the comment section.

Anyway, this is how we look around the house these days. Scarf, hat, polar fleece.

Oh, and George says to add: "This picture is not about the crap in the corner. It's about my hat." (after I complained I should've cleaned the counter before the photo was taken.)

We have had some pretty cold weather in Maine as well. Not quite that cold though. It has warmed up a bit here, hopefully it will be in the teens for skiing tonight.

You must be so excited to have that new library four blocks from your house. That is so cool. I love the library.

I don't think you hat is crunchy I think it is cute. I like brown it looks great. (OH, I didn't notice the junk in the corner until you pointed it out!)

The 7 Areas for Reduction

Today I want to write just a snippet on each of the 7 areas where we're reducing our consumption. See the Riot for Austerity page to learn more. 1. Electricity. No major sacrifices. We're still watching TV a little and I'm online way too much trying to keep up with this group (my latest obsession), but we're now turning both off at the power strip when they're not in use, instead of just at night when we go to bed. Also, many more appliances are getting unplugged when not in use. 2. Heating and Cooking Energy. We are using the a/c today due to temps in the 90s and very high humidity. That is my general rule for a/c use and always has been-it has to be over 90 degrees F. and humid. Tonight when the predicted cold front passes through we'll turn it off for at least the next week of predicted 80s. 3. Gasoline. I'm biking the 2.5 miles to work every time I work, Monday, Wednesday, Friday. George is biking the 3 miles to the health club for his aerobic w...

America a Military Police State--Now Obvious to Minnesotans

From my friend Devin's blog, The Quince Urban Homestead . They and others in the Twin Cities are much more aware of what's going on down there than we are an hour north. News reports are incomplete and, of course, skewed to the "need for order" and fear tactics. Of course we don't want violence, but come on! Has it come to this? This could be my family! Or anyone's family, simply doing their thing...Read on...(emphases are mine) Some links first: Youtube Video Twin Cities Daily Planet news with photo Flickr photos Happenings at the RNC here in St.Paul Minnesota.
