Glitter-Strewn
That's how the snow looks in this welcome and wonderful sunlight. As though someone sprinkled the whole world with silvery glitter. Gorgeous.I was a little under the weather over the weekend--fighting off a cold. Hence, I didn't accomplish much--I mostly vegged around...
New Experiment
While I wait for my shipment of Friendly Plastic to arrive (I'll bet you think I'm kidding, with the word 'shipment'--think cargo container), I'm experimenting with a paper quilling kit I bought on the last run to Hobby Lobby. This is actually quite intriguing. There...
Friendly Plastic
I love this stuff!It's shiny. It's messy. It comes in a million colors, and there are all kinds of how-to videos online. Yeehaw!!!Check out Cool2Craft.com for some interesting stuff.And now, to work. Not much in the way of news, but there you go. I promised not to...
The S-word
Still coming down, though only in flurries now.On to Chapter 2 today--YES!!I just had to get out of the house for a little while yesterday, so Jenni drove me out to Hobby Lobby for a change of scene. 🙂 I still got my work done, I'm happy to say--I do get cabin fever...
Winter Wonderland
Here's what I'm wondering. 🙂 Is the whole winter going to be like this? 🙂 If the present snowstorm produces four inches, we will have broken a record for November. In fact, according to Sam Champion on GMA, we'll have had more snow in this one month than all of last...
5 Cows A-milking
Well, the hype is here--officially.Black Friday. Pre-Black Friday. And now, Cyber Monday.For Pete's sake.I guess I'm old-fashioned (okay, I KNOW I'm old-fashioned), but I miss the days when Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's were separate and distinct....

Gratitude: An Everyday Thing
For me, Thanksgiving rolls around 365 days a year. (OK, sometimes I have to adjust my attitude, but, hey, I'm all too human.)I'm grateful for the obvious: God's love, being born and raised in a free and still wonderful country, my family, friends, and beloved pets. My...
More To Love
Snow! It's beautiful, it's several inches deep, and it's still coming down. Good thing I already bought the turkey. :)We saw a cow and bull moose passing the fence yesterday, a lovely sight in the snow. These animals are truly magnificent, though I certainly wouldn't...
Let It Snow
The stuff is coming down in earnest now, and it's beautiful. Easy for me to say, I know, because I don't have to go anywhere. Sadie may be having a snow-day today--depends on how her "driver", Jen, feels about the state of the roads.The weekend was a restful one for...
Friday Rolls Around Again
It's always Friday, it seems to me. Time just flies by these days.We have a thin layer of snow on the ground here, the crunchy kind. The dogs and cats are still rather puzzled by it--I guess they don't remember the winter of 08. :)I'll be continuing with CHAPTER ONE...
Overnight Snowfall
Spokane got the long-promised snow during the night. As I write this, sunrise is still forty minutes away--yes, I got enough sleep, Mom--but it's pretty. Of course I might not admire it so much if I had to commute. 🙂 I'm determined--whatever the weather brings, I'm...
