Snowy Sunday
Posted: Sun Nov 28, 2021 7:55 amMorning all. Been a bit snowy here where I am. Had about 4 inches by late afternoon. Was a nice day to be inside and watch it snow, but was also nice taking the dogs for a walk in the gently falling snow. Cold, but no wind. We have been below freezing since Thursday and I guess we are going back into the 30’s. It’s snowing now and Winter Weather Advisories are posted for another 4-6 plus winds. Not going anywhere anyway. Will go out a bit later and clear off the deck so the pups don’t have to wade in it. Not that they care.
Didn’t find a jacket yesterday, so will do some more looking and might just keep the old one for another year. They really are not something that you can order online because there are so many different brands and they all fit a little different, you almost have to try them on. Judy, you would be amazed at the changes in the snowmobile now compared to what we used to ride. They are faster and more sleek. I enjoyed the years that I did that but now it has become an expensive sport and also because of the design and the larger engines, they are also a lot faster and people ride way too fast. I don’t want to go out alone either. But it was fun. Memories to look back on. I’ve always enjoyed winter as I learned to embrace the season. I done my share of ice skating, tobogganing, dabbled in both downhill and cross country skiing, winter photography, snowshoeing etc. . I don’t mind the cold as I dress for it and I look at shoveling and snow blowing as a form of exercise although I don’t do a lot of shoveling as I let my snow blowers do the work pretty much. I bet the folks who settled here and those who came along over time would be amazed at the equipment we have now for clearing snow, especially here and in the U.P. Where 140-300 inches is common. Our record stands at 210 inches.
So, today I will paint some woodcraft stuff and put the Urethane on the finished ones. Shirl, your branch idea sounds cute. Neighbor across the road has a lightpost out by the drive and put an orange bulb in for fall. He just changed it to green for the Christmas season. Pretty. Everybody really seems to be in the Christmas mood this year. Decorations are flying off the shelves and Hobby Lobby is pretty much cleared out. But Thry have been 50% off for awhile now.
Time to watch Mass on TV, so better get going here. Have a nice day everyone.

No, maybe you better not do that. I haven't had an urge to decorate yet. The table I put the Christmas tree on is full of junk. It's by the front door so is a catch all. I was going to look for gift bags in the old house when I went to feed the cats. My pea brain can't remember two things. I put some things in the camper and unloaded some summer clothes. It's going to be in the 70's next weekend so don't need heavy clothes.
