Winter storm....

-
Time to get stuff ready for the big storm! Firewood is in, all the blankets are washed, snowsuits and boots have been located... just in case. Mittens are stockpiled and the last task that I can think of is to clean out the wood burning stoves.




 All the grandkids are over waiting with high hopes that snow will in fact appear!  So do I because I will push them all out the door as soon as it starts!! The other perk would be snow ice cream!! I don't work until Monday so who cares if it snows!! And I bought snow tires!!! It would be nice to have some snow for them... well actually I don't really need snow.
Cookies just came out of the oven and the little monkeys smelled them from outside... too funny. Now I know how to get them in the house in a hurry :) As I hung the last load of laundry outside the wind from earlier had all but disappeared so I figured on the towels being a bit stiff, but as I watched the kids on the trampoline from the window... the laundry started flapping in the newly kicked up breeze! Yay! I love the smell of the laundry dried on the line :)

The towels are not quite done but maybe the storm will hold off just a bit longer that's all they need.
The kids are all back out on the trampoline, cookies ran out lol! soon I will head to town for just a couple of things I forgot but also to deliver a counseling that got deterred last week. :(




The avocado trees are kinda happy... I hope they get really happy! I hope multiply like the laundry does!!! No wait... like the dishes!!!!!

 Time to go get ready to go to town and get a few things ... just in case!

The contents of this post are from early February. I was going to delete but thought more about it and decided to share. Sorry the pic's are sideways. As I sit at the table and look across to the counter in the middle of the room some call an Island, i bask in the silence that is now. Soon the island will be cluttered with items needed to make lunches and chaos will fill the silence as the house gets moving and kids get ready for school. There's only a few minutes until everyone else starts getting up. Today is hippotherapy for the youngest. The wind is howling right now so they may cancel it if it's too cold for the old horses they don't go out. It's too cold for this old horse! For 3 days we've been able to go outside without coats or sweaters or jackets. Yesterday the storm clouds brewed like they were going to dump an ocean in the yard I ran outside and grabbed seven batts of insulation and took them to the basement to save them from the rain. By

To be or not to be... that is NOT the question!

 It is the day before Thanksgiving and our plans have drastically changed. We will not be going to my daughter's home, and we will not be having turkey with her. I did manage to find a turkey and it looked smallish to me. Turns out it was only a pound smaller than the smallest one at the commissary. We will go for the bone density test this morning, and I will drop the dog off for groomer at my daughter's this morning on the way to the density test.  It might be a ham thanksgiving this year if anything at all. I am not complaining. I don't want to clean or cook as no one in this house even eats all the stuff. That was all yesterday and like everything in my life it changes hourly. We made it to all of our appointments and with the kids in tow! We did not get to any stores, because I do not do stores with kids if I do not have to. The dog got dropped off, the bone density test was done, the equipment for the sleep study got picked up, and 5 D tanks of oxygen. We even managed

Black Friday... White Snow

 It is the day after Thanksgiving and the ground is covered. Black Friday shopping is not something I normally do, so this is not an inconvenience for me. We went to my daughter's home for Thanksgiving and a much smaller group of friends and family were there. My son was not feeling well so we took him some leftovers on our way home. Because the meal was not here, I do not have to deal with the leftovers or the post meal drama of what to do with all the leftover food. But that means no snacking foods either... it is a no-win situation. I get to make fresh food though and that is a good thing. I just tried to go out and return a medical device and the roads were very icy. I decided it was unlike Dunkin' Donuts, not worth the trip. Not to waste getting as far as the General Store I did buy the kids some soda for movie night tonight. We already have lots of popcorn and still some candy available. Now to find a good movie. the dog is being lazy Instead of a good movie we found that
