  • It's Back!

     

     

    My least favorite time of year. In spite of the fact that my birthday and Christmas are rapidly approaching. Or maybe because of them. Not getting any younger, ya know.

    Had three inches of dry powder this morning and it's still snowing. Thankfully, the 25 to 30 mph winds are blowing it all around so it's not real deep. Yet.

     Wind chill is about 5 degrees. BRRRRR!!!!!!

    Actual temp is supposed to be 6 Wednesday morning. Can't wait!

    You can see a little asphalt and concrete here and there, so we didn't have to put chains on the yard truck to get around. Slowly.

    Trailers are so much fun to move around and work on in this kinda stuff!

    Probably should update a little. It's been awhile!

    Thanksgiving came and went.

    And, it was good.

    We did get the tree up last week.

    Ok, actually Karen did it while I was at work.

    I think she did a great job!

    She also got her Nutcrackers set out. Says she has 42 but wants an even 100. Oy, that's a lot of Nutcrackers!

    Also on the not-so-brightside, gas is over three dollars a gallon again.

    Here's a little something I wrote when it got so high the last time.

     

    Winter's sneaking in on frostbitten feet

    Not looking forward to turning on heat

    Surely it seems my gas bill's outrageous

    And on every front, price gouging's contagious

     

    Starting to hate these either/or choices

     Nagging at me in mean little voices

    Why do these needs have to compete

    Stay warm......buy beer...... pump gas......or eat?
