Our life is one of fun, but hard work on our hobby farm. Horses, chickens, dogs, cats, ducks, guineas, pigs, and many other animals can reside here and we love every minute of it! This blog will be a variety of things as well as my thoughts on current events.

It is a cold nasty Monday morning here and we are under a winter weather advisory due to light snow, ice, freezing drizzle, etc.
*** The Weather ***
As I said before it is cold, icy and a mess outside right now. I am thankful that I have a couple of hours before I need to leave and head out. I am hoping the roads are a bit better by then. It is supposed to be cold with temperatures in the teens at night. How many days till spring?
*** As I Look Out My Window ***
Ice and windy. Very gloomy out and there will be no sun today. The worst part of winter is that the sun rarely shines in January and that makes for a dreary month.
*** Right Now I Am ***
Listening to the news and praying that my daughter and grand are safe driving. She is in a mini van and the roads are slick. She is not confident in her driving in the winter conditions. The news casters are saying it is quite slick out.
*** Thinking ***
I am thinking of what plans I have for the week and attempting to think of a way to do a really fun game night for my Pink Zebra business. If any of you would like to join in playing free bingo and other fun stuff. I would love to have you join my VIP group.
*** On My TV ***
I will be watching my recording of Fire Country on my DVR today. I will also be watching a couple of shows that my husband recorded last week. We watched the Kansas City Chiefs and Cincinnati Bengals game last night and what a game!!!
*** Listening To ***
I have the news on now to listen to the weather and road conditions as I need to go out later. I have a new song that I have discovered as well that I am enjoying.
It's called My Jesus by Anne Wilson and I absolutely love it!
*** On My Lunch Plate ***
I truly don't know what I will have for lunch today. I will be at my friends house and I am sure we will have some sandwiches or something.
*** On The Menu***
Monday : Pot Roast
Tuesday : Pork Tenderloin
Wednesday : Beef and Noodles
Thursday : Chicken of some kind
After that I am not sure what the plan will be. Going to ask my husband tonight what he would like.
*** On My Reading Pile ***
I have finally finished the book I was reading and you will see a review on it shortly. I will now start a mystery. I believe it will be
I have read several of these in this series and enjoyed each of them and I am happy to be returning to reading them.
*** On My To Do List***
Cleaning and laundry is on the list for today as well as visiting my friend and working.
*** Crafting***
I am finishing another diamond art painting and this one might be for sale. It is a group of cherry branches. It is one that my mom liked and purchased for me.
*** Looking Around***
I see a house that I was not in last week due to being at my daughters. I see work that needs done to organize and clean again. I see Christmas that has to be put into the attic this week as well. I am ready to decorate for Valentine's Day.
*** From The Camera ***
Our Mercedes. She is a Great Dane and such a sweet baby. I wish she did not shed as much as she does, but it is a part of life now.
Hope you and your family stay safe during the storm. Not sure you want the actual answer but there are 48 days until spring. I get a Farmer's almanac daily newsletter with the number each day. Have a wonderful week!
The Boxcar Children (The Boxcar Children, #1) by Gertrude Chandler Warner , L. Kate Deal (Illustrator) Carol Slater 's review Jan 31, 2024 · edit it was amazing A Classic! I read this as part of a challenge to read classical books and this month was to reread a classic. As a child and a teen, I loved the Boxcar Children series written by Gertrude Chandler Warner and could not wait to read this book again. I decided to start with the first book in the series and I will read the entire series again this month as long as time allows. The Boxcar Children is about a group of 4 orphans that are siblings. They feel that they have to make it on their own to stay together. One day while walking in the woods, they discover an abandoned boxcar and decide that they will make it into their home. The children use items that the find at the local dump and in the woods to make items that they need for the home. The oldest brother does odd jobs to fe...
New author alert! Marie Spears Botkin is a new author, and this book is available on Amazon. All readers should step into The Sparkle Forest. Is it a real place or a place in Avery's dream? Is it real or imaginary? The story begins with Avery, a child in the foster system, being new in town learning of a bridge in the town of Cloud that has an interesting story behind it.

Good Monday morning ladies, how are you? It is super cold here, but I am thankful for our wood stove and plenty of good heat. I am joining Sandra over at Diary of a Stay At Home Mom for the Happy Homemaker Monday link up party. She is so kind to host this weekly and there are many of us bloggers that enjoy this weekly post. The Weather: Cold, snowy, below zero wind chills and temperatures of a night. I believe our high for the day is to be 7 degrees F. BRR!!!!!! I hate winter when it is like this. I don't mind cold, but I don't like Artic cold. I am not a fan of the ice that occurs when we have temperatures like this. Right Now, I Am: Sitting at my desk drinking coffee. As I look out the window, I see a bit of snow and maybe a bit of a sunrise. It is about -18 degrees with the windchill and so it looks cold! I am listening to the news that my husband left on when he went out. It is not something I care to do, but I just haven't gotten up yet, to change...

ReplyDeleteWell, it could be 68 days, right? Trying to look at the bright side.
DeleteI have not heard this song, and is this the Anne Wilson from Heart? It doesn't look quite like her, so i think not. Love the video!
