Pretty - Ugly!

 I thought I'd show you a few more pictures of the snow and ice this week.  We had some freezing rain, then snow on top of that.  It makes pretty scenery.  See the cardinals?

But the 1 degree temps, and these roads, make me kinda grumpy!  They are pure ice, and they would be the roads I drive on to get to town.

Pretty!

 Ugly (this is our truck, stuck in the driveway, while hauling a piece of cabinetry for the house)

 Ugly (the actual picture isn't ugly, but my Shug had to get the tractor out to get the truck un-stuck, which was ugly)

The truck is sitting at the end of the driveway because, even though it is unstuck, it cannot make it up our slick driveway.  So, I'm saying....

 I'll leave you with some pretties, because this is the last time I will be talking about the snow and ice.  I'm over it peeps......D.O.N.E. already....

And to top it off....I'm TRYING to get a cold/flu kind of thing.

I'm fighting it though.....stayed in most of the week....'cept for a couple of times.

Which I will tell you about tomorrow. 

But the good news is this!!!!!  WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!!!  I won a drawing on Connie's blog.  I told you a couple of weeks ago to go there.  GOOO!  It's not too late!

My week in review

OK, I did say that I was going to do everything I can to enjoy my fourth favorite season.  I'm trying.  So the other day, I donned my scarf, and hat(s), and coat, and gloves, and boots and went for a walk.

I prefer flip-flops!

It was 1 degree later in the day.  It came up from -1

That would be -17.2222222 Celsius (for you Celsius peeps!)

First I walked down by our flowing well.  It is in the process of making an ice sculpture!

Then I decided to see how Coral Belle was fairing this winter on her new homestead.

It was too tempting...I had to go inside.

Besides my hands were freezing.  Notice I put my hat on my coat, over my other hat.  Peeps, it was coooooold dammittohell!

Inside looking out.

 

Then I got a bright idea to walk through the woods...but after walking a few feet, thought better of it.  The reason is this....there are deer in our woods.  I didn't want to disturb them.  They are all snuggled in and cozy and if they see me they'd take off running.  So I took a picture of this HUGE tree in our woods and headed back to the house.  (notice the big branch growing out of the side of it, on the ground)

Walking back I decided to stop by some evergreens and snap a few pics.

We dug this wagon wheel rim up this past summer, when we had some dead trees removed from the land.  This was under one of them.  The gate came from a funeral owners house years ago, by way of my cousin, Gloria.

We always leave plants and bushes up through the winter months to provide cover for the birds.

Clouds were coming out and it was really getting cold.

so I walked back to the house.

 I decided I agree with bird girl.  The snow is pretty, but I just wish it was warm!

We live in the room down here where the door is.

I came inside and planted a Hyacinth bulb....gonna do that every time it snows. When I'm out of bulbs, the snow will be gone!  I declare it here!

I've still been working on my blanket WIP.  I decided it needed some flowers. 

I think I'll go work on it now.  Have a nice evening (day) depending on where you are in the world!  Stay warm!
