Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...

Not like there's much else you can do about it...lol.

  It's not that there's so much [yet]. It's that the wind is  blowing about 30 mph. The Irishman tried to leave to go to a meeting this morning and came back, saying the wind is blowing it so much you can't see. So he came back home and is out shoveling the sidewalk and fed the chooks for me. I, meanwhile, am defrosting chicken to go in the oven for his supper. I have to go in to my little MissB early today...assuming I can make the trip. This is supposed to be a 1-3 inch storm, which isn't bad, but the wind is the messy part. Last night coming home I was being pushed off the road nearly by 40 mph gusts. No idea what the temps are, but it doesn't really feel THAT cold.

   Thirteen days til Christmas.  Holy Moley. Time is flying by...already seems like months ago we were in Wisconsin, instead of just weeks. Something very strange happens to time this time of year. It bends and contracts and snaps and whooooosh! It's a new year.  It only reinforces the theory of mine that time is a man made commodity, and doesn't really work according to the rules we have set around it.  :)

   Feeling a little tired  and rushed these days. I have things to do and not enough energy and time to do them. Or something. lol   Have chicken in the oven baking for supper and will mash red potatoes and cook something green to go with it.  I won't be here to eat it, but my husband will be one happy man.

  Okay. I'm off to spend a couple of more hours with this man I share my life with. We don't have a lot of time together these days, and have to cherish every minute together.  We are both a couple of lucky ducks...

 Namaste.

Hi Ho, Hi Ho...it's off to snow we go....

Whew.  I have less than 7000 words to write for NaNoWriMo.  Yea, me!  I am trying to get everything done so that we can take a trip to Wisconsin for the holidays, and that means have the writing caught up as well, as I may or may not have computer access there.  My house is semi cleaned. I have a caretaker for the animals and a back-up if I need it. The fridge is pretty cleaned out of leftovers and goo and the bird cage is cleaned as is the chicken coop.  Most of my packing is done, just a few things I've thought of late and written down left to go in the suitcase, like my knee brace. lol  I'll be taking a box of jellies and pickles and such as well, but will grab those up in the morning. Am also taking a local ham that I brag about all the time...the best I have ever eaten in my life. H&B. It was on sale this week for a measley $2.99/ pound. I bought one for us and one to take. We've been eating on ours some, and the rest I cut in half and froze. The one to take is intact. lol  The Irishman talked to his dad tonight who said, leave early, weather is supposed to get bad. I looked at them today and it was 19 degrees. Yikes. It was 75 here yesterday, but much colder today. Tonight is down in the high 20's I think. All the critters are in and snuggled up.

   I am so grateful to have 5  days off in a row. I am so in need of this time away.

  Just wanted to stop in and wish all a very happy and Grateful Thanksgiving.

  Love and blessings....

Tittilating Tuesday.

A day full of the blessings of home and hearth. (Well, mostly.)

It took hubby an hour and fifteen minutes to make the 25 minutes drive home tonight. We have lots of ice and snow and folks are driving slow. We're not as bad off as parts of Missouri, Kentucky and Arkansas...they've declared states of emergency due the ice and power outages. So far, knock wood, we haven't lost power.

I called and cancelled my chiropractor appointment for tomorrow morning at 8 because there's no way I'm leaving my nest. lol

It's about 18 degrees and still snowing, but has slowed down and is supposed to stop any minute now. I have everything tended to and am about ready to go climb into my sleigh bed with the big quilts and warm hubby in it. I swear, the man is like a furnace. lol

I am blessed to have a semblance of sanity in my life today. I am blessed to be able to tell the difference.

I am blessed to have some prayers to say and a Great Spirit to say them to.

I am blessed to be learning some really important lessons these days, about life and love and the world.

I am blessed for all the usual reasons and by all the usual suspects. lol

Sleep beckons....

Namaste.
