A Beautiful day

Today was one of those days that remind me why I love living 

in Northern part of New England.

I decided to shovel the walk way we have not shoveled for most of the winter. Sunglasses on face to the sun ahhhhh

Yes it was deep but I just kept at it, yes girls can move mountains...

of snow.

We were well into the 50's and snow was melting. I am sore but so happy I got out in the sun.

Husband was so sweet for Valentines. We ordered take out and he had the candles lit and a rose ready for the table.

I prefer to stay in after working all day it was relaxing and so lovely.

Have a great week!

Snow Moon

  

The full snow moon was Friday night we had grand plans 

to snowshoe under the moon. It was so cold and husband could never put on enough clothes to keep him warm so we stayed home.

And as you have heard we had snow this weekend!

So I got out my hook. this is a rug I drew from a picture I took this past fall on Star Island. I have been a bit over whelmed thinking about this rug so I decided to take it piece by piece and not worry about the whole just yet 

****

We didn't get the snow the southern part of the state did which is just fine with me about 9.5 inches on top of our already deep snow.

My aunt in Maine was 24 inches and counting when I called her this afternoon. I wished her well and was thankful it was not us.

Happy Valentine's Day!

A Cow And A Pig Went To The Farm

 

Husband and I took Miss B to a winter festival at the farm.

We got rides on the old model T snow mobiles..

We watched them harvest ice and haul it to the ice house with a team of oxen. We petted cows and did a scavenger hunt. She had a great time and was worn out when we headed of hot chocolate.

WE have been very snowy and into the snow again tomorrow.

Getting tired of it.

****

I have a pattern all drawn and now I just 

have to pick up a hook.

There is only one way to achieve happiness on this terrestrial ball, and that is to have a clear conscience or none at all.

Trying To trust The Journey

Today after work it was light enough for me to get a walk in!

So excited for a walk after working 9+ hours. It is so good for the soul.

On Sat I went to see my sweet 93 year old aunt and take her to breakfast. She makes me smile with her no nonsense view of things. We should all be so wise. On the way up her road I find a huge flock of turkeys really there were twice as many on the side of the road I didn't get a picture of.

Some of my facebook friends saw this last week but Miss B came and built me a snowman. He still is keeping and eye on Pepe and I 

just waiting for her to return.

 I was flipping through a magazine and look at the description of this???

**

I still haven't picked up a hook yet my friend is still gravely ill. It is so hard for me. She needs prayers.

*****

On another note I will be seeing a friend I haven't seen in 20+ years this week. We were so close we did everything together but life happened and we lost touch. Over the past year on facebook we reconnected and she is here to see her sick brother. While she is here she is going to stay with us I am excited and nervous.

She was closer to me than either of my sisters. Life can be so harsh.

****

Stay patient and trust the journey

New Bling....

Yep new silverware! I don't think I have purchased new silverware

Since  I was first married and that was a good long time ago.

It felt nice to clean out the old odds and ends.

I had some major stomach issues this week, not a virus but I am on

antibiotics and was on a liquid diet for 2 days. So I pulled out my cookbooks and put markers in pages I want to get back to, crazy I know.

 

I still don't have a rug on my frame so I am going 

to read this, it is silly and if you have read one you have read them all. But it makes me laugh out loud and that is just what I need right now.

One of my friends is gravely ill and I haven't had 

much sleep and I am glued to the phone waiting for up dates

If you have an extra prayer please send it her way.

I made husband some shrimp dip and a birthday cake 

to take to his pool buddies, so he is out playing pool at a friend's house. I am happily tucked in for the night with tea and fresh banana bread. Miss B is coming tomorrow to cheer me up. I can't wait!

Happiness is the result of being too busy to be miserable.

A Little Bits...

I got this picture on pintrest but it shows really shows what 

it is like here. We have been rainy and 30's all day and now we have so much fog you can't see across the driveway. I am chilled to the bone. Thank goodness for the wood stove husband just started.

 

I just can't put my Christmas village away yet. I love looking at it, such a 

happy peaceful little village.

 

These are my mom's sisters, my sweet aunts

The beautiful one on the left with the white hair 

will be 93 next Tuesday. She had a cold last week and said she didn't crochet for 2 days, "So you know I have been sick!" I aspire to be like her.

She is independent and feisty! She took me to my first art class when I was a kid and bought me my first barbie. I love talking to

her on the phone she makes me smile with her view of the world.

And yes she is up to date with what is going on in the word.

I am dreaming of the retreat on star island again

and trying to come up with a pattern of a picture I took

that I would love to hook. I have never drawn my own pattern so I am a bit over whelmed by it.

I have a hook in coming up this month so I have to get something

on the frame soon.

Stay warm my sweet friends

Brrrrrr

We are cold like most of the East. I spent the day packing up the last of the Christmas decorations. I just can't pack my snowman yet.

This would be the last Birthday party of the for Miss B. She has had more than her share. She had lots of her school friends over for lots of fun. Her theme was bunny and my daughter did a great job of making it very cute and lots of fun.

We missed the last snow that came though yeah!

But we are so cold I am still in my pjs watching a little football to see who the Patriots will play next.  

I have no plans to go out. today but I may take a shower and change into clean pjs :)

I have to get a rug going soon!
