Snow Days

We had quite a snow for our area.  It has been around since last Friday.  It usually melts in a couple of days, but this time the cold has not let the sun do its work.  The grandchildren had to go out.  It took us longer to dress them to go out than the time they spent outside!  

To help protect their little faces, I rubbed them with chap stick.  Gave them a hot bath and we all played for the rest of the day.  Snow days!  Fun times!

Oh, February!

January has just flown by!  I spent most of the month with sick ones.  Not fun, but they got extra snuggles and special treats.  February started with a Big Birthday at our house.

My writing has a lot to be desired.  The grandchildren loved the flames coming out of the rocket.  They did help him put out the fire.  

We have had a little snow and some really cold (-1) weather.  That means play time inside and no preschool one day.  

The princess, her wand, and her favorite hat.  Cavin likes to "tell" her how to build things.  You can tell that doesn't go over very well.  

Looking forward to nicer weather!

What A Week!

We had some beautiful sunrises this week! It is worth getting up a little early to watch them.

We also had a real surprise this morning!





Yes! That is snow! My poor flowers won't make it I am afraid. We are expecting a freeze tonight.



All I had left were a few cosmos, marigolds, purple salvia. I have been gathering seeds for next years garden. We did an experiment with the cosmos this year. We put a tomato cage around one of the plants. It worked so well, that I will do more of them next year. It fills out around the cage so well you can hardly see the cage there.

I did so want to paint our fence this year. Would love to replace it, but that is on the back burner for now.
