Snow!!

This pic was taken the other day after school. All of that has since melted and we have more...and are due for more tonight and tomorrow morning! This is the one that I think I will use for Christmas cards. I wanted more snow in the background - towards the back pasture, but how can you pass up the first snowman of the year??!!

Since I still have not gotten "snow" mittens - the kind that the snow sloughs off...I had to make a quick pair for D3 since her other ones were wet an dirty and I didn't have enough time to wash them (since I couldn't find them when she was done with htem!). I am still having a problem with the thread on my sewing machine snapping for some reason - does anyone know what the problem may be? I thought that the tension and everything on it was "fixed". It's a brand new machine...and this is one of the reasons that I had stopped sewing -- getting frustrated because of the thread breaking!! Well...time to start evening chores and such....Have to get ready for "the game" tonight -- Browns vs. Steelers!! Go Browns!!! ^j^

New Addition

This is why I haven't been posting! Her name is Reese. She had been on the side of the road for at least three days. My husband's boss tried to catch her, but couldn't. It took my hubby quite a while for her to come up to him. She was so scared. I don't know if she was abused...she's very skiddish, but is adjusting very well. We are still having a house training issue, but...hopefully things will get better soon! I am not a dog person, but she is a very sweet dog and will not leave my side. We really do get along well.

All of the girls were sick as well! It started Sunday morning about 3am....and finally this morning they all feel fine!! Yesterday was a snow day, so that helped with any missed days! Boy, what a shocker to wake up to so much snow! I didn't know it was even supposed to! We do have a lakefront snow storm alert in effect starting tonight and through tomorrow night...they are talking about 4" - 8" by tomorrow morning...but, will continue to snow!!!! This ought to be interesting!

~~Stay warm!! ^j^
