We are having a major winter storm here, 10 to 15cm of snow by dinner tonight, possibly more!
We were supposed to spend the morning with our daughter and grandsons, but had to cancel.

Thanks Carmel. I fixed the colour - it needs to look like this
[ color=#008040] LIKE THIS [/color]
But I put a space before the first word color so you can see what I mean, rather than see the colour itself! Just to confuse us more, this forum software uses American spelling (color) and I am English (colour)
It's fun, isn't it?

Here is an explanation of why the weather will get colder in the next few days - it has to pass over Estonia on its way to UK!
Underneath that article, there is a beautiful picture of a swan, which is why I wanted to post this!

The topic of avatars has been raised, so here is a moment to consider something!
viewtopic.php?p=10432#p10432
Juta's comment about your avatar made me think about avatars in general. When the Introduction and Welcome were being written, there had not seemd a reason to discuss avatars. Now might be a good time to think about our own avatars - are they in keeping with the general atmosphere of this forum? Does it reflect our commitment to the natural world?
Verlit's avatar is suggestive of a natural way of life - making use of the wool a sheep provides for us!.

You can do so many beautiful and amazing things about wool

, I discovered the wool in the summer, now I am using it for my needle felting works.

I haven't heard of this style of work before now. Where can I learn what needle felting is?

most of the avatars , so far, are very suitable in Looduslalender forum.
at least for my opinion.
the point of a avatar is to be like a statement," hello, here i am and that`s the way i like people see me"
as far as i know, people have different avatars if they follow different forums
for ex.i can be a fan of "Harley Davidson" and like knitting also.
would be weird(possibly funny too) to use a knitted sock as the avatar at motofans forum
and i think that here any avatars with political statements can`t be allowed.

I learned it from Internet, using youtube videos and in estonia are good felting books also and more is coming...its quite calming activity. At once I felted a handbag but these scarfs, what Kuremari showed,really beautiful, I must learn more
