Sometimes later becomes never. Do it now.

Hello!

This will probably be picture heavy!
I really need to be on here more!

Kalen just left for his next 10  on 10 off!
We got a lot accomplished!
He also planted a bunch of seedlings, made different types of compost, tried to fix a hydrant in the back 40. Water is off to the back, it will have to wait for his next days off!

We got snow & cold on the darn weekend!
I have turned into a wuss! It's too early!
I have joined Tai Chi!
I love it!
I leave work early on Wednesdays!
I tried to get mom to join, as it's good for balance etc.
She wouldn't! 

Kalen's Halloween card.

 Vanessa & Harley's card.

Mom got one I made last fall when I went to the scrapbook retreat!

My aunt makes quilts for people with cancer.
I make her cards to include. They're blank on the inside.
I got some new quilt dies, so should have a ton whipped up in a short time!

We'll start with 4 because she likes Christmas cards that say Merry Christmas, and she says you can't buy them.
Making her some Christmas cards is next on the list!

We had a big windstorm that knocked the walnuts out of the tree.

Then the leaves fell off, and I played a game similar to where's Waldo!

Haha!
Of course ALL the leaves didn't fall off, I had to do this twice!
Only because it kept raining, and the walnuts were trying to get moldy under the leaves!

But anyhoo, the yardwork is slowly getting done.
It was a lot warmer this time last year! 

I am happy to report that the sump pump has been installed, and I am loving turning up the thermostat for heat!
Washer & dryer are working fabulously in the basement!

We wrapped the cedars one chilly afternoon.
The deer will have to eat someone else's this winter!

I guess you can't really see it!
It's a plastic mesh that's 7 ft tall, the deer can't get their noses in.
We had 4 different sections to wrap! 

I'd better go.
Kalen left this morning so bedding needs washed, and my floors really need a vacuum & wash! 

Hope you're all well!
Talk to ya later!

Good evening everyone!
Hope you had a great Monday!

I had a minute to play yesterday; Vanessa got the flu Friday night, and had to miss her trip to Vancouver to watch her hockey team the Ottawa Senators play.
She was flopped on the couch or in bed for most of the weekend!
Ray went for a load of wood!
Vanessa asked me last night, "Can't you call work tomorrow and tell them you need to stay home with a sick kid!?" She's 29! hahahahahaha

I'll show you the card, so you can get on with your life!!
I have an aunt; who with some friends make quilts for people with cancer.
They seperated from a Canada wide group, when they had to start paying....
WHAT..........these ladies volunteer their time and most supplies!
Anyhoo, I said I might be able to help them out with cards to go with.

I found this here!
I'd been looking for something for a while!

 

I'm not in love with the yellow,

but I'm going to find my busiest papers;

you know,

the ones we all hoard collect, and make more.

I'd like to get brave enough to sew on them!

I want to have about 12 when I go down in June!

 

I went to GP to a funeral on Friday........

Honestly, it was -37 for most of the 300 miles.

I tried to take a picture, but my camera thought it should make a movie,

and I had to take the battery out to make it stop!!

Didn't think you wanted to watch a movie about how cold it is here!!

It warmed up to -21 at one point in the day.

I got to Michaels, is it just me.......

cause I'm not liking the rearranging!

I can't find anything!

 

It was -30 something all weekend!

The stove was out yesterday morning!

I'm the first one up.......

The furnace was running, and I was drinking coffee before I decided it wasn't very warm in here!

It takes over an hour to get that sucker going!!!!

I took coffee out in a travel mug, and it cooled off right away!

Here's the stove chugging along...........

 

 

Lookit!

Your Monday morning photo of how light it's getting in the morning when I go to work!

I'll be wearing those sunglasses on my dash in no time!

 

Here's the temp!

It's warming up!

 

Have a great week people!

There's a couple challenges I have my eye on!

I'll see what I can do!

 

Hope you're all well!

Talk to ya later!

Ta ta for now!
