Day 61

Just when we thought the winter weather was behind us, it's come back...breathing one last frosty breath. This was our drive this morning to church...cold with freezing rain, sleet, snow...and slick as snot! It had started with some freezing rain early in the morning, and kept at it most of the afternoon. As of this evening, they have already determined that schools will be on a two-hour delay tomorrow. Guess they don't think it's going to warm up any time soon!?!

Day 40

The girls finally ventured into the back yard, and out into the snow today. For the last couple days I have been taking them out the side door to the garage for potty breaks, mainly because there are no slippery steps, and because actually the way the snow drifted, there was nearly bare grass on that side of the house.

But today, I decided to just let them have a roam. Lucy was so funny, she would only walk where Baylee had already blazed a trail. I guess she likes walking in her sister's footsteps!  And even though there's snow on the ground, Baylee still has that nose down...sniffing for I don't know what!

Day 39

When they said it was going to snow again...they weren't kidding.  It did snow just a little bit more overnight. And during the day today, it tried, but only managed to spit a flake out here and there. 

I spent the better part of the day scrapbooking over at Trina's. Well, mostly gabbing and catching up, and a little scrapbooking.  But as I got ready to leave, it really started to come down. I made a couple stops, and by the time I left the grocery store the heavy, wet snow was upon us. 

Once I was safely home and toasty warm, I snapped a few pics.  I went out the front door and took a picture of the bright night sky and a couple good sized icicles forming.  But in the picture you couldn't tell how much snow was falling, so I zoomed in on the street light (through the tree)...which is a pretty good shot of the blowing snow.  Then I just thought our little yard lights looks so cute all lit up upon the snow.  And finally as I headed inside, I took one last shot off the porch, this time with the flash on...and all you can see is little white dots! 

Wonder what it will look like by morning?!?

Day 38

We have just a little bit of a winter wonderland.  After last night's snow, we finally have a blanket of white...and blue skies...for now. They say more snow is on the way, tonight and/or tomorrow. I snapped this pic of our house on the way into work this morning...everything just looked so pristine, and pretty.

And, when Rob got home tonight and brought in the mail, there was a small padded envelope addressed to him and I. Inside...a little Happy Valentine's Day box with a frosted heart sugar cookie inside from Cheryl's. I had already guessed, but the note inside confirmed it, it was a Valentine wish from my very favorite girl, Miss Kennedy. She is such a sweetie pie!

Day 37

Here it comes...finally...Winter 2014!

Even though snow wasn't really forecasted until this weekend, it started this afternoon. Just a light dusting in the parking lot at work by late afternoon. And as you can see, it doesn't bother Baylee one bit...as long as she has a blanket to snuggle in, snow or no snow, she's good.

Now that we're home, we have at least a couple inches on the ground...and it's still coming down. I took the girls out the side garage door for their potty break, and tried to snap a decent pic - with our yard was lit up almost like daylight.

Fireman Frosty

This is a card I made for a young man in our community named Trey. He is 16 years old, and has a terminal illness. This year for the holidays, his mother asked that individuals fill their mailbox with holiday greetings.

I made and sent this card on behalf of the entire Fire Department. I hope he liked it.

Thanks Snow Much

I can't believe two months have come and gone in a flash. Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's are only memories...and now back to the norms of everyday life. This is a Thank You card I made for a few folks to express gratitude for wonderful Christmas Gifts. Hopefully this will get my juices flowing, and the creativity will return, and you will see many new posts soon!
