it snowed...

Maybe the good thing about weathermen "never getting it right", is ...it keeps us humble and reminds us that we are not in control of things!!!! We did wake up to snow, but it didn't turn out to be the "wild, windy weather" they talked about, nor was it 12-15 inches... more like 8 (pain in the neck) inches. Good thing, it was light and easy to move, and a day of wind and warm temps will make it disappear quickly. More important.. the power stayed on, as did the cable, so all in all it was an enjoyable "snow day".



I made a nice pot roast for supper that cooked all day long in the crock pot, plus baked a pumpkin pie. I had a "project" to do, played with my new Facebook account... and did barn chores and the like.

Hunter shares a secret with Cole!!!!




My project was to make two spring wreaths to go on the barn doors. Everything is fake, but I like the colors and they should stand up to the weather. I thought they came out quite well, and was happy that all the fixings were bought on sale. I paid less for the two wreaths than for the price of one... good deal!!! It was fun to work on them while the snow fell.. made me think of spring...










My way of telling old man winter that he can go away now!!!




They're a little hard to see, but I have tried all fall and winter to catch these creatures.... a nice flock of turkeys that have lived around the lake all winter. Many times they are all in the road, and you have to wait for everyone to move... course, by the time I get the camera out, they are well into the woods. They're big, fat and healthy, so doesn't appear that the winter was too hard on them.
Since dog classes had been cancelled for the evening, I got to spend it at home. Watched TV, worked on a new cross stitch project and made this blog....
but it's time to do other things... I want to play outside after supper!!!! come on good weather....
