Back to winter!

Oh me, oh my, we are in the midst of winter again!  Last night when we went to bed it was just starting to spit a little snow and this morning it was a winter wonderland again!

I had just hired my yard man to come put my snowmobile away for the summer and he arrived today after plowing all night.

I know this won’t last so I had him put away but it was so tempting to go take one last run through the carriage trails!

Snowbird and Snowbird Jr. are due home in a couple of weeks so I am sad that they missed this one.  Mom loves to go out in the snow even just for a few minutes but this will be gone by then.

Noodles is wondering, what happened?!  This stuff wasn’t here yesterday!!

I finally broke down and bought a new camera after having all the troubles with my old one in Florida.  I love it, it will telephoto up to 21 X !  I took these photos from the second story window. I would say this is a face only a mother would love!!!

This turkey was here alone and was not happy when the deer showed up.  There was some pecking order posturing but they finally decided to get along. 

These pictures were taken through the glass which amazes me as my other camera would not have come out any where near as good.

The deer population is way down in Maine due to the harsh winters we have had the last few years.  I’m glad my deer look so healthy and happy!  This is one of last years babies.

I helped my sister work on another baby quilt on Saturday.  It is a panel and she put some borders on it and is going to stitch in the ditch around the pictures. This one is for a little boy that one of her coworkers just had.  Panels are great for a quick project.

This picture is to make my friend Dawn feel better!  She posted a picture of a cupboard that she was cleaning out and said she felt embarrassed so I told her I would make her feel better.

I probably clean this cupboard more times then any of my others as it just seems to fill up with shopping bags, grocery bags, tools and all kinds of stuff.  In my quest for purging I thought this was a good place to continue the process!!!  Now doesn’t that look better?

I also tackled a closet in the foyer that has shelves.  Now does anyone need this many greeting cards?????  I took five boxes over to Snowbird Jr’s apartment and still have enough to last me another ten years at least!  Why do we get so much stuff?  I think I may donate some more of them to one of the ladies groups at church as they like to send cards.

I’m doing quite well with my decluttering.  I put a contractor sized trash bag full of stuff in the trash yesterday.  Does anyone else save boxes?  Something will come in the mail and I will think, oh that’s a good box I bet I will use that……. NOT! 

Guess that’s it for today.  Miss T is here with her friend Katie and they need some dinner.  I’m thinking some take out……….
