Hazy, gray, dingy and ugly.

Oh, the weather outside is frightful...

Do you picture giant snowflakes swirling around, snow piling up on windowsills? Icicles hanging from the rooftop?

Well, our little town looks nothing like that. We had snow before Thanksgiving but because of the rain most of it has disappeared. Of course. Now, we have this hazy, gray, mist falling all around, the grounds are dingy and rather ugly. I can't forget to mention the wall of fog coating everything for miles. I am starting to think the sun is hibernating. It really is frightful weather outside.

I can handle the weather, I can. I don't mind curling up on the couch to crochet or write; we all know I could do that all day. Here's my dilemma: I can't listen to Christmas music. I started too. And tried to several times. But there is no snow to really complete the scene. The first initial burst of cheer has faded. I'm stuck.

I usually wouldn't wish for snow as I'm not big into winter sports. But, there are a few items on my list that involve snow that I desperately want to cross off. And I refuse to be a scrooge.

Is there a snow dance I could do? Or maybe I'll order a semi-truck full of snow to be dumped in the front yard…HELP!

Keep Loving.

The Tree is Up.

It's Saturday afternoon. E and I are relaxing and enjoying a couple snacks and flicks. I think it's a pretty good way to spend an afternoon. I might have to pull out a couple baby friendly holiday crafts now that the tree is up. Yes, we got our tree. We have yet to decorate it but it is in fact in the house! The way I see it: Thanksgiving is behind us, we have snow and Christmas will be here before we know it. Why not turn on the Christmas tunes and get with the cheer?

I spent the first part of the day at the Holiday Market downtown. I enjoyed sitting with my sister while shoppers walked through checking out all the locally made, hand crafted items. I received great responses from most lookers. And a couple friends I haven't seen in awhile stop by to chat and give their support. I am very appreciative of their support and kindness. I am glad I am not hurrying to crochet, crochet, crochet but I might have to put some of my items for sale online. (I'll keep you posted.)

When I got home R had picked out and set up a BIG green pine tree in the living room. I can't wait to decorate it tomorrow! Hopefully after getting ready for the work week, grocery shopping and laundry there will be enough time to put up Christmas decorations.

Well, I'm going to do some holiday crafts with E! She's currently digging in a basket of non-friendly baby toys.

Have a good evening all.

Keep Loving.
