Snow Day ~

 

we woke to about 4 inches of snow this morning ~

it continued to snow for a couple of hours more....

 

 

Iggy loves to watch out the window as it snows...

this is who he was watching:



a pair of Mourning Doves at the backyard feeder.

 

 

snow pretty.....



a beautiful late-Winters' snowfall ~

inside, we were warm & cosy...
I love our humble little farmhouse ~

a portion of our keeping room

Peter cut some fresh Daffodils
for Hannah & I the other day,
...before the snow, of course...





Spring is almost here!!

and I gifted myself with these...
a small pot of yellow Tulips

 

 



happy happy happy

I love these.

and I can plant them on my sweet Suzy's little grave, too.



will always remember.....

and, since I had a day without electricity, I ripped out this lamb ~




NOT happy happy happy.

Iggy couldn't figure out why I would do such a thing....




"why, Mom?..."

I tried to explain to him that I didn't like that little lamb but
that I would put another in it's place...




all gone.

Iggy soon realized that there was now a pile of worms on the chair
for him to play with...
he changed his mind about that first lamb after all and agreed with me
(after stealing a few strips for himself and hiding them in his toy basket)




"but Ig, I will need those to hook another lamb with..."

He agreed to share them with me, and soon I had this little lamb all hooked up ~

 



really happy happy happy now!

I do thank you all for your comments about that last lamb ~

 but I'm sure you'll agree
with me
(& Iggy)
...that this one is much better, no?

 



see? all I needed was a Snow Day to slow me down and spark my creativity :)

 

 

right now the snow is almost all gone....

just the right amount of the white stuff fell for me to slow down a bit,
and not be distracted by the phone,

 emails or tv ~

 

I'll work on the background a bit, but i want to add some red flowers to this rug ~
not sure where just yet, but I think perhaps I'll be pulling out that blue date and use red fabric there instead of wool ~ we'll see how that looks.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Have a wonderful, peace~full evening ~
and for those of you in the path of this snowstorm,

if you lose your electricity for a little bit ~

take time to slow down

and

 

...make every second count
instead of counting every second...
