Waking up to a beautiful 6 inches or so of new fallen snow!!!   

Maggie, can you stay in today? In this household, if there is ice, we stay put....even with all the northern road care and 4 wheel drive...ice is ice....best to stay put!

We are having a family day today. We've been so busy on weekends since July with work related things that a few weeks ago we set THIS weekend aside. I'm not sure what we will be doing but whatever it is, we'll be together. I'd love to take Jeremiah out sledding or to build a snowman BUT it is deer season here and given that we live out in the sticks...well, it's just not safe to play outside when the hunters are around. I did get Jeremiah a little red coat and bright orange hunter's cap (to walk to and from the car mind you) but refuse to put him at risk. Our property is posted but as you might remember, that doesn't seem to make a difference. I will say that so far, we have been incident free regarding trespassing hunters this year. :) We will have more snow in the weeks ahead for sledding and building snowmen.

Maggie, I also wanted to tell you that cat litter works great for weighting down a vehicle and even better if you need something for some traction.

Time for some coffee.
Anyone getting ready for Christmas?
