We had snow Saturday and Sunday which meant no travel up the canyon. In fact we have more snow on the ground than we've had in the last three years. It is a beautiful winter wonderland. The picture is from last Thursday, which was very cold and clear. I can take the cold if the sky is blue.
Today is one of the rare and cherished days of no work, no one around, no obligations and a chance to do nothin' but knit. To make my life even easier this post is brought to you by the letter D.
This is D Street in the Avenue's area of Salt Lake City. Across the street is Black Sheep, a favorite LYS.
This is a Double Dip ice cream cone that many of us have seen our whole lives. It stood in front of a favorite local ice cream parlor called Snellgrove. As kid we would watch the ice cream scoops as it they were regularly painted in new flavors. It was the best ice creams around, but sadly it was bought out by one of the 'big guys'. The double cone is now a part of Squirrel Brothers advertising.
Friday night before we went out to celebrate Smith's birthday (he thanks you for all your good wishes) I had a cut and style. The new Do is feeling pretty good.
I'm off to Do some knittin'. See you tomorrow with the contest winner and a new contest question.
When it is not a work day the next day, people in my household (i.e. husband and I) would stay up really late ... sometimes unimaginable to some people. And at this hour, I caught your new post on Bloglines ... so you are a night owl too? :)

The Do looks great on you Margene! Thanks for the tour of town... I'm sure "D Street" holds a warm place in your heart (it would mine - cool neighborhood for the store!) as well as the DoubleDips. What awesome things to share with us!

Margene, you look lovely! I've always thought that color looks so nice on you, too!
:) I remember going to Snelgrove when I was a kid, before it was bought out (once we even met Karl Malone there!). It was the best ice cream in Salt Lake. I always got the bubble-gum flavor with the real bubblegum chunks in it. Seems so gross now, but when I was little it was my favorite!

Love the "do" and the photos. What are you going to knit on today while some of us are forced to toil away in the paperwork mines?
Posted by: Snow | February 20, 2006 at 08:35 AM
Lovely new do (mine's kinda similar). We have snow too! But with it came really cold temps. Have a lovely day at home knitting. I'm off to build a fire and do the same thing.

Fabulous new do, Suzy Q! Ah, I'd forgotten about the double dip ice cream cones. That brings back fond memories.
Enjoy your day! xoxo

Very cute haircut! Very pretty, very chic!
Posted by: Kris | February 20, 2006 at 10:31 AM
Dig your "do" Margene! Yea for D!
Posted by: Lana | February 20, 2006 at 10:37 AM
Oh,ice cream. My memory of double deckers is one scoop on top of the other, both dripping down the cone, but who cared. It was delicious on top or side by side. Like the new do!

*sigh* I wish my hair would do that - yours looks so nice and sleek.

All great "Ds"! The street name was pretty Darn handy too!
Posted by: Anne | February 20, 2006 at 12:26 PM
I love the ice cream sign! So cool, and makes a tasty landmark.
Posted by: Vera | February 20, 2006 at 04:21 PM
I was thinking about you the other day and your gorgeous scenery photos, and I decided that you appreciate your environment, and take advantage of it, more than anyone else I know, virtually or in RL. That may be your superpower.

Don't you look elegant in your new Do? Very cute "D" post! I am having fun with the alphabet, but have to admit that at the moment I am stumped looking ahead to "E".
