In my blog I plan to chat about nature, crafts, baking, gardening, beekeeping, family, and whatever else seems appropriate at the time. Sit back, relax, and enjoy!

Happy January/February!

Happy January 31st!
HAHA!  Do you have any idea how many posts I've started and walked away, not to come back. 
No...you don't....
Well, this one was up on my computer. So I'm leaving it!
But in blue will be all the Happy February 8th stuff!

I wonder if I could do January in a nutshell....let's see.....

ooohhhh.....the wedding....
New Year's Eve...
I'll work on that post
right after I finish Christmas!  
Seriously, we lost internet for a few days and I started doing things that I used to do like
read,
organize,
clean!!!! 
And it felt good.
Still does!

So here was part of January

The weather was sucky except for a few days.  Our roads looked like this from Christmas Eve until last weekend.


 Dark and gloomy days
(Seriously, a lot of people get Seasonal Affective Disorder here from lack of sunshine)

 We had a lot of snow.  I never knew how many people love snow,
until I followed some Instagram posts. 
I was ready to unfollow some of you! 
(Optimistic E!  You know who you are!!! No worries, I still follow you!)
GEEEEEESSHHHHH
It's snow.  It's fun at Christmas AND THAT's IT!  OKAY?
See the big snowflakes in the picture below?
Rumor is we are getting more of them this weekend.
 See the big cat in the picture below?
Not my cat, but my Shug started feeding it...out of pity.

PEOPLE!  STOP DUMPING YOUR ANIMALS!
YOU ARE MAKING ME MAD!
We think this one came over for a snack but has taken up residence somewhere else.
And seriously...can you tell me what has a six foot walking span, that might have come out of our woods, and up by our living room windows?

In the next post I will tell you how I am surviving winter.

Peace,
Cindy

Happy Birthday Pa!

 Happy Birthday Pa!

Me & Pa
Pa and my bro
 
Pa and my Sis

When we lost our internet service, I was surprised at how much I got done by not being on social media.  The house stayed picked up, I've been reading books again, crocheting at home, and just doing things I used to do.  At this point, I don't even know where to start back up or how long I'll be  at it.  I had already downloaded Christmas Eve and Christmas Day pictures,
which seems so long ago now.  
I had a wonderful New Years Eve that I'd like to share....
I just decided to start with today. 
Our Dad's birthday. 
He's 82 years young today.  
These pictures were taken in the last year.
We'll see where I go from here.

No Internet

Hi everyone!  Just checking in to let you know that we do not have internet.  It’s so cold here our WiFi antenna froze!  We are getting a new one but it’s going to be a couple of days.  The temperature high was 2° F today!   In Celsius that is -16.6667.  And that’s the high!  So if all you summer peeps from across the pond are needing something to post, we could use some summer  pictures of warm weather here in the USA!

Happy New Year!
Cindy

Ps. I don’t think this weather is going to break for another week.
