more photos from last weekend...

this poor cardinal could see the birdseed, but the snow was banked around it...

DH had to go out and clear the snow from the feeders so everyone could eat...

and he threw some on the ground...

so ready to sit out here again...

it was a pretty wet snow...

I love the wet snow...

when it sticks to everything...

my fix it guy came back yesterday and got the exhaust housing put in from the outside...

and 2 of the outside lights put up...

love the way they look...

we have one more outside light to go...

waiting for warmer weather...

moving it toward the back and he has to pop the vinyl siding off to run the wire...

its cold enough here it could just shatter if he tries it now...

I need to pick up a bedroom light and he will be back to put it up for me...

the rest of the small jobs will have to wait until warmer weather...

the snow is still hanging out here...

not melting at all...

it was -12 yesterday morning...

and no warmth in sight...

not sure if I want to get out this weekend and go shopping or not...

DH would be happy if we just stayed home...

;)

the gazing ball looks like an egg!

just a bit early for easter stuff...

Craig is off today...

I know there is going to be laundry and vacuuming done...

some dusting...

a little cooking...

today is the day to catch up on all the stuff I have let go all week...

bad me...

;)

it really kind of looks like a disaster in here...

nothing a good hour won't cure...

might even get ahead of things...

so, if you are stuck inside, I hope you can find something fun to do...

you know this won't last forever, even though that's how it feels right now...

might be a good time to day dream of warmer days...

and how you are going to change things up outside...

what plants are going where...

what needs a coat of paint or maybe there's a bigger project in your future...

just floating around in your head right now...

and since you have been so good to hang out here for awhile...

here is Hopper...

my son, Doug, is taking him...

and I haven't heard how his first day went...

so when I find out, I will let you know...

;)

not diggin' winter anymore...

just not liking all this cold...

but I did get a few minutes throughout the day to pop in here to add another coat of paint on these...

'new' lamp from online shopping...

and the matching clock...

I got a few more pieces, too...

post later...

I was wondering who kept messing with my pillows...

just so he could see the birds outside...

this room is going to be a work in progress for some time...

but I can say when I go in to sit down...

I am happy here...

contractor guy came in and we now have the kitchen lights up...

and the exhaust hood over the stove...

the ceiling fan in the bedroom is gone and waiting a light fixture...

had to pull it to see what would be best there...

so now I know what to pick up...

he will be back today to finish the exhaust fan from the outside...

and install the two new lights out there, too...

we are moving one, so he has to pull the siding to run the wire under it...

I was having a bad day, so I took a muscle relaxer with supper and was in bed by 7pm...

I think the only thing that will help now is spring...

just warmer weather where I can sit out on the deck and sweat...

I think that when it finally gets here...

its going to be so appreciated...

farmer's almanac says a late spring...

hot summer...

wet fall...

we shall see...

DH wants to run to Paris tonight after work...

I see a whopper in my future...

:)

GOOD NEWS!

Doug did his orientation at FedEx yesterday...

and he starts today...

he needs work boots...

sending money in with Craig today for him to get them...

he trains today and tomorrow...

Thursday, he will be on his own...

to say he is super excited is an under statement...

:)

things are good here...

praying they are where you are...

have a fun day...
