beaded mitts and long awaited snow

We woke to snow - beautiful glorious snow!  In haste, I grabbed my small camera and went out with the dog to capture some of the magic.  When I uploaded this evening I discovered these images of the last of the holiday gifts - a pair of beaded mitts that went to live with a special friend and coworker.  I'd forgotten all about them!
Solemate - I've crowed about this fiber before!
The knitted floral bookmark was a nice and appreciated finishing touch.
I-cord.  I love everything about it.  I also found these images of a baby sweater that I designed.  I call it Creamsicle, named for my favorite ice cream on a stick.
I'm saving this one for a future granddaughter - from my mouth to God's ears!
The tiny biscuits and sweater are knitted in Baby Cashmerino ... the crochet edge was added by my BFF Patty.  One of these days I am going to learn how to crochet.  Maybe. 
 Enough with the knitting.  I want to show you the splendor of our countryside - and the reason I was deliriously happy  this morning.
The snowfall sealed up all sound - a silent wonderland, so still and inviting.
I followed my companion - he knows the best spots for exploration.
He'd gone lame the night before and I was worried about further injury, but he could not be held back - he NEEDED to go out and investigate!
The stillness was so complete that I actually HEARD these wings beating in tandem as they passed overhead -
I am concerned about my good dog.  He has never had any hip issues, or lameness of any kind.  It breaks my heart to see him moving about so gingerly.
We'll get to the bottom of it - we'll call Dr. Wonderful Garner tomorrow.
