Blizzard

Christmas is over and the Blizzard is hitting.  The beautiful white flakes are swirling around the air and landing where they may.  Southern Indiana looks like a blanket of white snow.  If it's going to be cold it might as well snow!  Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was great and all the kids showed up except one who had the stomach virus.  We had a huge feast and then rested the end of the day.  Thought about going out to score some deals at the stores and thought no way did I want to fight the crowd so I stayed home.  The wind is blowing and it seems to be getting cooler today.  There is a chance for snow on Sunday.  We have 7 new baby cockatiels and one more egg to hatch.  We have yellow and white ones.  Well here is to a day of cleaning up and preparing my coupons to go get some deals.

February coming to and end

Well it's the end of February and snow is flying again. Cold and snowy thats the forcast for today. I keep telling myself think spring, I know it is right around the corner. So I guess I will enjoy the last snow flakes with a smile.

State of Emergency and New Dog

We finally got the big one, a snow storm that put us under a level 4 state of emergency. No vehicles except emergency vehicles allowed. It was quite a pile up. I called in work and pretty much just stayed snowed in this week.
We got a new dog named Chilito. He is a dachshund and baby just loves him! He fits in real well with the rest of the bunch. Top pic is Chilito the new dog and bottom is Baby. They have just made the best of friends!

New Tires

Finally broke down and was going to get a new tire, bad news was I had two tires that had threads coming through and was bald. Not to mention by the time my car got to the shop I almost had a flat tire. That is what you call driving on a prayer! Thank God for watching over me and Paul for taking my car to get my tires put on today. My sister-n-law borrowed the new camera or I would take a picture and let you see how they looked!
The roads are getting cleaned off and I get to go back to work tomorrow. Looks like a new snowstorm is going to be hitting again this weekend. I just hopes it waits until my next day off. If not at least I have new tires to drive on and I wont feel like I am sledding home :)
On a good note, Endtimewatchman is back on the blogtalk radio on tuesday nights. A real encouragement and quite a blessing!

Getting Ready For Spring

I may be jumping the gun here but I am ready for spring. This 20 degree stuff is getting old. If I can't be all the way snowed in I just want spring to come. I ordered some seeds on the internet and can't wait to get them started. I studied out how to make some home made pots to plant them in and I am ready to start my garden early.

Snow

It is snowing at last. We finally got some snow. It is just beautiful and very cold! It will be down in the twenties tonight so the old woodstoves are burning. Trying to get over the flu so I have been eating hot cinnamon candy to keep my throat from hurting so bad and it also helps suppress the cough.

Kids are better

Finally getting back to themselves I know the kids are feeling better! Praise the Lord for it! Worked yesterday. Waiting for friday so I can pay my car payment. I talked to them today about my car payment and told them I will be paying on friday so maybe they will stop calling. There is a cold wind a blowing here and I am ready for winter. The sooner it gets here the sooner it leaves right? Some snow ice cream wouldn't be bad either.

Fun in the snow

An inch of snow

We got an inch of snow or so. I get to go to work and it is going to snow more according to the weather channel. I hope I don't get snowed in. At least the kids are going to have fun playing in the snow!

Saturday

Got a day off today, I cannot believe it is already November. The snow will be flying before we know it.
