Mon Dec 8 17:35:55 UTC 2025

Hi Cindy, the garland across the front should be good enough. We have a pair of candy canes on our front door.

Still catching up.

I agree Erika, winter has come early. I have a wrap around covered porch on two sides and garland that goes around the outside railing. Well, when I put it up, I clean a section of the railing and then wrap the garland. I need to find a bird deterant because they make a mess of the railing. I started on the 70 degree day but I need it to be above 40 degrees to clean the railing. We have been stuck in the 30s for over a week now. The snow we received finally melted today and it was 44 but I didn't manage to make it out. Snow is coming again tonight, so I have decided since I managed to get the garland across the front, I am going to stop there this year.

We’ve already got probably 11 inches last I heard and still coming down. I can’t even move it off the sidewalk anymore. So the chances of the snowball is coming to you are pretty slim. And I have bad aim but it’s good to know you’re ready in case an unidentified freezing object comes your way. Lol.  

Lots of streets in town and bridges are closed because of so many accidents. You would think people in Wisconsin would know how to drive in a blizzard. Or let me rephrase that… No, they shouldn’t be driving in a blizzard. I am surprised church hasn’t been canceled yet. I know lots of others have already canceled. We just called our friend Ken and told him that he wasn’t going to get in or out of our driveway so we were going to stay home no matter what the decision finally is.

Winter showed up early. Have a great rest of your weekend guys.

Well, I’ve gone out and shoveled already once today. That was just the deck and from the deck to the driveway. We have a 2 1/2 car driveway so you can better believe that the snow is falling that won’t be completed until the snow stops falling and melts in spring.

Besides that we baked a loaf of bread listen to a lot of old-time radio. Got the laundry done and I got my package ready to go out to my mom‘s for her birthday that was almost a month ago now.

It’ll be quite a celebration when our Christmas cards get in the mailbox. I’m hoping I can get my terrible typing skills motivated and get at least a rough draft of the Christmas letter done. My husband is the editor and thank God for him every day!

Just in case some of you live in places where there isn’t snow, I’m throwing virtual snowballs at everybody so get your imagination going! I know that’s not hard for this group to do. Smiles across the miles in the snowbanks.

It’s Successful Saturday!  Have you started or finished a project or achieved a goal?  Share it with us and we’ll celebrate with you.

I’m making good progress on the scarf I’m making for my sister.  The mohair I’m using isn’t like the mohair I used in the first one I made for her, but it’s still nice.  It’s not as soft, probably because it has more bamboo fiber in it than kid hair, but on the other hand it doesn’t shed a lot and it’s not itchy. I hope she likes it.
