One thing about having a birthday in mid-March is you never know what weather you are going to get. I have had years when it was a beautiful day, where I walked on the beach (I grew up near the water), and I had a year when I lived in Boston where there was a Nor'easter and feet of snow and all my birthday plans were cancelled. This year it looks like another one of those snowy ones. We were supposed to have snow last night, and it was delayed and here it is starting now, and my dinner plans tonight are probably cancelled.

Still, it could be a worse day, I got a very sweet card from Ingi and a knitting bag (that fits the Aftur lopapeysa) and Kate Bush's Aerial CD. And it's a very purple birthday:


(I had a trip to the dentist this morning and now my teeth are so nice and clean and they gave me a purple toothbrush)


(I got my lovely lace handwarmers from the mitten swap, in nice soft Kambgarn)

And a really nice birthday gift, Ingi (along with my work Christmas bonus which I hadn't spent) is getting me these Fluevog boots
