Early December Happening!

Just call me Goody Two Shoes my friend.  It is true after three and a half months I am actually in both shoes.  I don’t know how long it will last today but at least it is progress.  Am I pleased—you betcha. 

I got outside yesterday to fill the thistle so as promised…

..the feeding station that is up, thanks to David and Cindy, got it’s picture taken .  It is right outside the french doors so expect lots of pics of birds filling their tummies.  There are six finches on the thistle feeder right now and two chickadees on the main feeder. 

At 8:30 this morning a big red pickup with a plow on the front showed up to rescue us.  Both Jay and I have torn up the lower end of the front yard after backing off the driveway and getting stuck. Of course I did more damaged then him because a woman takes longer to get unstuck. The UPS and FedEx men have been walking the two hundred feet up my driveway to deliver packages.  A jar of jam just doesn’t seem enough reward for their efforts.  The snowplow was arranged yesterday when Keene Small Engine called to say they needed to order a part for the tractor.  That it may be Monday before it is delivered.  I told Jay that I was all done worrying and we called the Mobil station in town last night because the manager’s hubby plows.  Gotta love a small town where you can get help quickly.

 

Poor Buck and Doe have been sitting on the front porch since Sunday.  Doe just gave up, sat down, and shook her head in disgust so hard that she lost her ears.  I promised them I would get them set up tomorrow if it isn’t snowing too hard.  I’ll get picture of them and my giant Christmas bulbs on the front on the dome then.

But today I must turn my attention to what is on my dining room table. 

Yes it is the lap robe and Christmas cards.  Obviously the cards are top priority.  So please excuse me while I take pen in hand and get on the ball!!!

  1. YAY, oh YAY! It’s good to see your ‘gunboats’ in shoes…(BIG shoes, but shoes!!! hehehe, just a quick tease-I know you have bigger feet than me…you SHOULD-you’re TALLER!) We have a good 3 inches of snow here since last night and it’s still snowing (yuck). Good for you on the Christmas cards-somehow I just can’t seem to get the ‘urge’ to do them anymore!
    LOVE YA!
