I'm no longer dreaming . . .

of a White Christmas, just like the one's I used to know
the news radio said 10" of the fluffy white stuff has fallen so far . . . and it's still coming down.
Despite losing power for 13 hours starting at 2 pm on Saturday . . .
We had a lovely morning opening gifts and watching the snow. (Somebody likes her new rope toy.)

There's ice under the snow, so I'm glad I had my rock salt handy.

Some folks get bored when there's no electricity. Me, I put on my headband flashlight and proceeded to trim, fold, and put away fabric. I won't be getting a treadle, but if this weather keeps up, I am considering a generator, LOL.
Happy Holidays To All.

Holiday hints



In order to enjoy the scents of the season, I burn my less expensive candles every day and add a few drops of potpourri oil after the wax has melted a bit. It makes the whole house smell warm and inviting.

Of course, I would also like to be baking cookies to add to the aroma, but duty calls.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

Over 3 inches of snow fell

On Monday and the temperature never got out of the teens.

Here is Dolly's, "I'm too cool" pose.

I put peanut butter on a chunk of stale cinnamon bread and covered it in birdseed. Within minutes the birds were visiting. Can you tell that somebody else loves peanut butter.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .
