We got our first significant
snow of the season, so of course there are a number of snow pictures. It’s as
if no one had ever seen snow before!

Our
friendly neighborhood sharp-shinned hawk.
My
daily walk – it started sneeting while I was out! Also, this is
the “I should have listened to my mother” edition – I should have made a potty
break before I left the house. Heh.
The
snow begins…

This was my view when I opened
the back door this morning. I decided to work from home (I love my job!).
Morning snack. That’s whipped
peanut butter in case you’re wondering. And yes, the clementines wandered into
the peanut butter and that was just WEIRD!
Dr. M took some snow pics. Poor
Heather the sheep!
My daily walk. The abominable
Snow Bug!
Dr. M filled the feeder & it
was emptied again in short order.
Dr. M cooked dinner – Southwest chicken
& beans. VERY yummy!

I knew my thermometer would come
in handy! This was the temp in my office when I got to work Tuesday morning.
Brr!
I tucked my scarf up into my hat
& decided that I had created Cthuluguin!
As proof
that I’m not entirely stupid I decided to not walk in the cold icy dark.

My daily walk – fall would like
winter to know that it’s not QUITE done yet, thank you very much.
Dr. M said that he felt like
this turkey :)

Pinky Two
Tone (our 7 year old pet geranium) is certainly thriving these days. Eventually
she’ll decide to take her winter break from blooming, but until then we’ll
enjoy pinkitude.
Once again,
not walking outside in the cold icy dark… But look – I have a tiny little (not
very attractive) ponytail!
Friday,
November 21st
My daily walk. I forgot what I
was doing & left the house with the wrong shoes on. It was a bit slippery
out there!
We’ve been binge-watching Band
of Brothers again. Three hours of crochet gave me claw hand!
Saturday,
November 22nd
My daily
walk. What a difference a day makes! Wow! And, also, please note tiny little
goofy ponytail in my shadow picture. Ha!
We got
our first Christmas card of the season – from Rite Aid Pharmacy.
I was on
Altar Guild duty this weekend. At long last we’re at the Last Sunday after
Pentecost! Woo hoo! It’s a long time to be in the same liturgical season (if
you recall, Pentecost was June 8th). Next week: Advent!
Dr. M
spent the evening with his own project – a survival bracelet made with leftover
parachute cord. His comment on Facebook: Picked a
fast deploy pattern and went at it. Finished it, and the wife approved. Then
she said, "you know that's just single crochet, right?" Come to think
of it, a hook would have helped. I wonder if Dick Winters crocheted... #downinflamesigoagain.
Heh. (Note – Dick Winters is one of the men from Band of Brothers – a mini-series
about paratroopers in WWII.)
Hope everyone has a great week!
Your snow is something. It was 10 degrees here a few days ago and they're saying we will get into the seventies tomorrow. Unbelievable. I was a very loyal walker when we lived in MD. The only time I didn't walk was in the snow. It's too dangerous. You are wise to pass it up on dark and icy nights.
ReplyDeleteDick Winters of Easy Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Airborne Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division...he probably earned a Congressional Medal of Honor a couple of times over, but, alack, they were very stingy with those in WWII. He was a beautiful man...may he rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteLoved the pictures for this week. I especially loved the snow ones and the hawk. Happy Thanksgiving week to you.
ReplyDeletethat's a colorful scarf you are wearing the first part of the week and many great pics. we keep our house temp at 65˚ in the winter (on propane which is expensive!) but we got a little space heater for the living room.
ReplyDeleteI always love your week. Remember to stop and exercise your fingers while you are crocheting.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. Do you feel colder this winter without your long hair?
ReplyDeleteThose hawk pictures are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI remember that I always used to love the first few snow falls of the season...so pretty and white! And then, by the end of January, you're just so very sick of it.
Great snow pics!
ReplyDeleteLiked the first card and sheep photo.
I could not believe myself this year--most cards ready, addressed and sent out before Thanksgiving!
Am I mixing and rushing holidays? What's happening to me?
