Snow day !!..

The top picture is out the front door..........pretty blustery out there......

the second pic is out the back door.....doesn't look as bad........BUT........I am not going out there !

We had some freezing rain......and now we have wind and snow.... on top of the ice.....that is always so fun !! NOT

Lots of things are cancelled..and they are telling us this is a 3 day deal.....with blizzard conditions expected later today and tonight.

We went and got cat food, bread and milk on Tuesday night......the lines were already crazy then......yesterday the stores were really busy. LOL.......Blizzard party !!

I have to get back to my sewing !

Stay safe and have fun ..........................Happy New Year !!

Time to catch up !

Grandpa and "C"

Daughter and "T"

"T" studying something he unwrapped.........

Guess I have been busy chasing my tail the last few days.....

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and you all have some fun plans for the New Year's celebrations coming up !

Our Christmas was quiet and uneventful - that is just the way I like it ! We spent Christmas Eve with our daughter, her significant other and our grandsons. Even though they are getting to be "teenagers" they are still just "kids" at Christmas !! My greatest gift is to get a hug from the Grandsons ! That is the best Christmas gift I can get.

I also have more pictures that I will be sharing...........My blog will be out of order for a few days.....oh well.....

I will be watching for those long lists of New Year's Resolutions !.......LOL...... I am looking for the list I wrote last year......going to be pretty much the same.

Have a great day !!

North Dakota Cold

It is times like this when I actually have to wonder WHY we live in North Dakota..... ! our temp this morning is only at -5. the wind chill is hmmm..... about -22 BUT the sun is shining and there is not much wind today !..... So.....from the inside........ seeing the crisp white snow and the sun shining brightly......it looks so pretty ! Looks like Christmas. We didn't put up any yard decorations this year.......so I borrowed a picture of my neighbors pretty lights.

Yesterday we traveled to Mayville, ND about 60 miles north of us for HOCKEY. That is the reason the winter goes by quickly for me. I love going to my grandson's hockey games. With mittens and layers of clothing and a blanket to sit (cold benches) it is good..........AND a cup of hot cocoa really helps. Today one Grandson is bowling and then the other has another hockey game...so that keeps us going on the weekends.

The big storm of the northern plains they are talking about on the weather channel.....well, that missed us WAY up here . LOL......missed us this time. BUT we got the cold. I am sure we will get another chance at the winter storms.

As long as we have coffee, bread, milk, pizza, and fabric !.......We can survive the stormy days. Well at least I can. Oh and DOG and CAT food.....THAT we have to have.

But all in all........... I really do like it here.......well, except for the mosquitoes....but that is topic for another day.

Stay warm !!!

Friday and another snowstorm on the way.....

It is definitely winter in North Dakota........ another snowstorm on it's way..... Fine for tonight, but tomorrow is hockey about 70 miles north.........so........we will see.
Isn't that the sweetest face !.......She is my Little Mitzer....she is the youngest cat we have. I think she is about 7 or 8 yrs old. Looks like I didn't get the sharpest picture here.....but oh well....... Such a nice Mitzer with her arm around Clarinda.

When it gets cold...........the best thing to do is curl up in a chair.

Have a good day !

Hoare Frost

Under the fog was the lovely "Hoare Frost"

Everything was covered........................
The trees were just beautiful against the blue winter sky..............

Everybody was commenting on the beautiful frost......about noon......it began to fall off .......

I was glad I got to see it and take some pictures of it................

Hope you all had a nice day.

Foggy Morning

This is heading to the interstate this morning..........foggy, foggy, foggy !

And heading to town to my dentist appt !......very foggy, but the road was good. After my appointment.......I took some pics of the Hoare Frost - I will share those later.

Hope everyone had a good day !
