Weather is Strange

So how's the weather in your part of the world? Just one week ago today we were hunkered down watching the "blizzard of 2009" pour down snow on our little part of Virginia. Yesterday mother nature decided that the 21 inches of snow we had needed to go so she graced us with warmer temperatures and rain, lots and lots of rain, so now all that pretty snow is yuck! Because the ground is frozen the water didn't have anywhere to go so it's just hanging in the yard, do you know what happens when you mix flooded yard and silly golden retriever? yes...that's right a mess...Stella decided to do her little rocket butt thing through the yard and then wanted some loving from me..yuck again! It's gonna be another cloudy day here with maybe some more showers so it looks like we'll stay in until dinner time then off to T&P's house for pizza and gifts.

So what are you gonna do today? me..more sewing, YEAH, baking one more sour cream pound cake, that makes 8 if your counting, and spending the day with my peeps...no after Christmas shopping for me.

Stay Dry....
Stay Warm...
and...
giggle...
why?
cause it's fun....

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all and to all a Good Night!

may all your Christmas wishes come true....

Merry Christmas from our house to yours

Snow

Good Morning from snowy Virginia...this post is loaded with pictures....I hope you enjoy!





Can you see that the snow is up to Stella's chest...she loves it!
Driveway the morning after...

Can ya see the gate...no...that's because of all the stinkin' snow...
our backyard, if we were crazy enough we could go sledding down this hill but would end up in the woods...and that would not be fun...
another backyard shot...

ice hanging off the back of the house..pretty but dangerous...
my bushes under the feeders are almost under snow...

the other side of the front yard..

the side yard...

off the front porch...

here's Andrew on day 1 of the storm cleaning the driveway...he's my hero..

do ya think Stella loves the snow...
So that's what a snowy day in Virginia looks like and I think I can speak for everyone in this area...enough already...most of the area got 20+ inches of snow and while we do have some snow plows out and about we don't have enough to get all the back roads and for those of us that live in the country we live on those same back roads. I'll make sure and post and update on when we can actually drive again..we might be in the house till spring...

so...
stay inside...
stay warm...

Christmas Cheer

Are y'all ready for Christmas? presents wrapped? cookies baked? house decorated? really, so you're really, really done...okay then...come on over and help at my house, we'd love to have ya!

I've enlisted the help of elves to help get me through this Christmas season...






Do ya think they're up for the job?


Wave hello to Dee & Nancy...Kelly Ann's Quilting has their own personal elves sent by Santa to help...take a look at those scrappy vest...and yes Dee made both of them...and I want those shoes, who wouldn't want shoes with bells on them.

I'm not ready for Christmas, still lots of sewing to be finished, wrapped and mailed...yikes, yes I said mailed. I think I might actually catch up this weekend, why you ask, because we're expecting 8 to 12 inches of snow starting early tomorrow and ending on Sunday. This is where I give a shout out to my friend Sharon who loves snow and bless her pea pickin' heart hasn't gotten a big snowfall yet...so Sharon..come on over to Virginia, we'll have enough to share.

so until I post....
snow...
pictures...
stay warm...
stay healthy....
and....
keep sewing....
