I've always admired the wrist warmers and fingerless gloves that everyone else knit. But I've found them kind of pointless for my lifestyle. My fingers don't get cold indoors, and when I'm driving or outdoors, I wear leather gloves. Until yesterday, when they would have been perfect! My job takes me to all sorts of companies and yesterday I was working with employees at the sight of a beautiful new development up in Midway. It occurred to me that even thought the module I was in was quite warm and comfy, with people walking in and out, etc. there was the occasional draft and a pair of fingerless gloves would have been quite nice to have. So I now will use some of my stashed sock yarn for fingerless gloves. I need to mention that I saw Harvey last evening as I was leaving the construction site. I truly saw a pure white jackrabbit with brown tipped ears right next to my car! Does anyone know if this is a common species of rabbit in this part of the country? It was beautiful! Between the snowy white rabbit and the heards of deer grazing in the snow covered fields and the snow capped mountains, and the crisp winter air and sqeaky dry snow underfoot, I felt like I was driving home through a living Christmas card. What a beautfiul state Utah is!

Yep, those rabbits are common here, especially in the west desert. One of the neatest animals I've seen here was when I lived in the foothills in Sandy. It was some kind of weasel/ ferret/ ermine-type animal out in my yard in the winter. All white except for a black-tipped tail.
