Finally It Looks Like Christmas

Finally, finally, finally we got some snow.


I love New England stone fences.


I love how the house looks all decorated with snow.  The tracks in the driveway are mine, I shoveled the whole darn thing.  Took two hours. Who needs the gym? It is snowing again tonight so tomorrow may be a repeat.


Our lane in the quiet of the morning when the sun was trying to rise.


Okay, last picture.... (of snow)


Lots of hungry little birds. I had already scared some away unfortunately.

Finally finished one of Alex's gifts (Tina's unborn)


Kind of silly but I had fun with it. The mitten pattern was actually from a WorkBasket magazine from the 1960s.  Since they are in Florida I made this out of sock yarn so it wouldn't be too warm.  The baby sleeper has 3 buttons sewn on but I need to go back to JoAnn's and get more of the bigger buttons. I made the buttonholes to large so rather than sew them partly shut I just decided to use bigger buttons. It looks cute.

Danielle is winding down school, two weeks left. She will then have to take a class starting at the end of January, on-line, and will receive her diploma in May. I am so pleased she decided to do this.  AJ, her husband, is coming on Thursday and they are all leaving a week from Friday to spend the holidays in North Carolina.  Then I have to clean like a crazy person to get the house ready.

  1. Dear NDLife,

    Don't you just love feeding the birds! The first thing I do in the morning is feed the birds. The other morning there were two mourning doves sitting, waiting for me on the gate.

    Thank you for entering our Yellowware Bowl Giveaway.

    Take care,
    Diane and daughter Sarah

    I do love feeding the birds, except the big black birds but I guess they have to eat too. There is nothing better than in the morning getting cup of coffee and watching them flit around. Peaceful start to the day.

    The snow was really weird. We live on a mountain and got about 6 inches or so. Bottom of the mountain about 2 inches. If you drove about 20 minutes, nothing. Today it is gone with all the rain we are getting. If we are going to get the snow from the Midwest I hope it hurries so it can be cleaned up, holiday traveling is in the future:)
