A Nova Scotia Snow Storm continued.....

I was happy that I did not have to drive in this snow storm, all others so far this year I have been at work and drove home on the nasty roads.  We actually got time to enjoy this one.  We made clean up a little more fun by using the huge snow balls made by the plough to make snowmen.

Our beagle was super excited to find her stuffed rabbit amongst the snow....

Making parts for our giant snowman...

There were several green bugs laying on top of the snow, I am assuming they fell off our big tree during the storm.....

 Patiently waiting for us to come back into her boundary.....

A Nova Scotia Snow Storm....

One minute it's snowing, the next minute it's raining or freezing rain.

I was up early this morning and put a chicken in the oven, planning ahead just in case the power goes out.  We have a generator hook up so we won't be without power but we have to select what to hook up to it so if we don't have to run the oven that will be a bonus.

We had fantastic Christmas well, I guess I've blocked out the part where our Beagle attacked our chickens and killed 2 young hens who didn't even start to lay eggs yet.  In our excitement for Christmas Day we forgot to put her invisible fence collar on her and so she went out of bounds and attacked our chickens.

It is my hope to take advantage of this stormy day inside to sort through some items, preparing for a huge  yard sale next year!


Where ever you are, whatever your weather, stay safe!
'til next time

Happy Holidays Everyone!

So far my holidays have been blessed with delicious food.......

And I'm sharing some of that deliciousness with Santa tomorrow night, Christmas Eve....

I hope your homes and hearts are filled with LOVE, LAUGHTER AND AN ABUNDANCE OF DELICIOUS FOOD this holiday season.

The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year!!

I LOVE CHRISTMAS.  I love the music, the food, the decorations and I love sharing with my family and friends.

I love baking cookies and decorating them.  This year we decorated a gingerbread house for the first time.....

We attended a local Children's Christmas Party and got to build and decorate another gingerbread house.  My Son wanted to show his work to Santa.  Santa thought it was a very nice gingerbread house.  :)

Here's his two works of art.  All that matters to me is that he is happy.  The look on his face when Santa arrived at the party brought tears to my eyes.  His Joy is My Joy.

Can you guess who decorated our tree this year?  Yes, that's right, my Son.  He did a fine job too.  I think Santa will like the Christmas tree as much as the gingerbread house......

I hope everyone enjoys this Holiday Season as much as I do.  Yes, sometimes it gets a bit hectic but such is life.  What really matters is the end of the day when you're all together, enjoying each others company.

Happy Holidays!

'til next time.

The old saying....

"In one ear, out the other" is sometimes easier said than done.  I will never understand why some people have so much time on their hands or have nothing better to do than talk about others and run people down.  I believe in taking care of MY family, what everyone else does around me is their business.  I am sick and tired of negativity, it eats at you and pulls you in.

Do you ever stop and think "gee, never thought I was that interesting to have people watching and talking about every move I make?"  Well, I do.  Being judged for EVERYTHING I do, whether it be working, parenting, yard maintenance.....  It gets very tiring and frustrating.  But, I bottle it all up.....one day the top is going to pop off that bottle......................

Please people, "LIVE AND LET LIVE!"  "SWEEP YOUR OWN DOORSTEP"  However you want to say it, I wish people would just mind their own business!

Sorry for the negativity, I've been surrounded by it for so long I had to get it off my chest.  I believe I am a fantastic person, I love my family, my friends and my neighbours and what they do is entirely their business, I have my own family to take care of.  If someone is in need I will surely help them, other than that "Live and Let Live"!  I have better things to do than listen to someone's petty dribble....

'til next time (and a more positive post!)
