Yo Peeps,

(boy does that feel awkward to type). Calves a little sore from doing the stairs at the Hockey rink with my pack. Ran it a couple of times, just to see if I could. Going back to do it again. Tomorrow will be a long day hike. Coffee's gone, no sense hanging around here. Bye.

I decided to put my tree up. It has lots of lights, but the middle third isn't lit. It was stored in the garage and when the box was opened I found all sorts of mouse nesting material within. I wonder if they chewed some wires. Maybe, if I get everything decorated and learn how to use this digital camera AND download, I'll build a fire in the fireplace and take a Christmas picture for everyone.

Divinity, we did the tree lights last sunday. Before they were hung they were tested and worked. After being hung 2 strings were dead. Couldnt find which bulbs were burnt and couldnt remove em if we'd known. We bought more and redid that portion, it was a pain.

Good morning. With the Sun shining in Melbourne, Florida, it should be warmer. I hear my neighbor's motor cranking and cranking, finally it's trying to start with some coughing, it ran for a couple of seconds, and now, finally , it started. Harley, the only motorcycle that comes with a drip pan. This is just a little more than Fall weather. There is frost on my car. Phooey, this weather going to last all week.

Well, forget the weather and have a wonderful day, ya' heer.

36 right now with a prediction of snow flurries. Somehow I think it's going to have to get a little colder for snow. Couldn't climb the stairs at the hockey arena because, of all things, they were playing hockey! All day. Today I'll go for some sort of long day hike and figure out how to get the middle section of my Christmas tree lit. Coffee's gone, time to make some oatmeal. Eatin' healthy these days.

Yeah, I think going poo-poo in the woodsies is pretty much common sense too. All ya gotta do is drop your drawers and wait...
Eventually, if nothing happens, you may have do do some sort of small intestine C-section.

I've been up for an hour. Some light snow last night and everything is covered again. It's supposed to snow some today and then get really cold. Still awaiting the big snow storm.

Ok, I've been up, but I've been digging!!

No lie, I walk through the end of my driveway and I sunk. The snow is over my knees. Keep in mind that that the snow plows bury the end of my driveway and the incline in my drive way causes drifting. The rest isn't that bad but there is no school today. My itty bitty snowblower can't handle this big stuff so looks like I'll be scooping snow today. Should take about three hours to clear the drive this way. *sigh* It's good exercise and there is no school so I'll put the kids to work. :o)

A little snow here last night, but the total accumulation isn't enough for skiing. I guess that means the wax on/wax off controversey is largely academic in Wisconsin. High to day of 19, low of 18. Right now it's 12. I turned down the heat last night so it was 54 inside this morning. I still roasted under that down comforter. Nice brisk, feeling alive day.

Sunshine, I wish I lived just down the street from you so I could throw Abby in her snow pants, grab a shovel and come over to help out.
We're still struggling to get the grass covered down here. Got alittle bit yesterday and 1-2 inches more today. If it's a white Christmas I'll be amazed.

Good morning.

Yep, snow is beautiful ..... in pictures. If there is any around here, it will disappear this afternoon, when the temperature hits 74°F. There is sunshine to spare here in Melbourne, FL.

Enjoy your day.

My poor parents returned to Michigan from warm sunny Florida on Saturday afternoon. On Sunday, they woke up to 1-2 inches of snow and a cold brisk wind at my house. They had light jackets, and no hats and gloves with them. They went headed directly to their place after church on Sunday where their winter stuff resides! The poor folks...

Sunny, have fun scooping. I remember that's hard work, especially after the plow comes by! Sometimes you don't know where to begin!

You live too far north. You should move to Florida. After Tuesday night's "Lows in the upper 30s", the next four days have "Lows in the upper 40s. Highs in the upper 60s" as the forecast here in Florida.

After a L-O-N-G road trip for a family wedding, got home to 20+ degrees and cold winds that brought "feels like" temps. to low teens. To be expected, but it happened SO fast. But we are seeing the sun for the first time in a long time.
