News, weekly blog posting from Della's Rug Hooking.

The above sunrise was yesterday, it was so pretty I had to take a photo.  The saying is 'red sky in the morning, sailors take warning'.  Today we started with freezing rain.  We are expected to be plunged into very cold weather this week.  It was bound to happen right? Speaking of the cold, do you have an over stuffed deep freeze in your home?  I do! I said before Christmas to Charlie, after 'Christmas, we are eating out of our pantries and freezer', only purchasing fruit, veggies and milk!  So...
