that's an awfuly full plate there mrs alffe. it is wonderful to have friends help unload it. as y'all have done for me so many times.

psst..i hear shelley has fudge.

Alffe I hope you're enjoying your wonderfully lazy day, all comfy and cozy with a good book

*grin....don't leave out the nap part.

Well so far it's been veeery interesting! SNOW! Lots of it...our guy finally came and plowed us out...even did the bricks up to the hot tub....what can I say...he's young.

The temperature has been dropping all morning..it's down to 7 now and our garage door won't open. Guess I'll have to continue having cabin fever for now.

An entire flock of those awful big black birds have discovered the feeders and have driven off all the pretty birds...what a racket they are making..drives Cooper wild.

Bizi called from Indianapolis and they have started the long drive home...left a day early cause the weather was scaring them...cold wind..little snow. She said she'd had no access to a computer since she left here and was suprised when I told her about the birthday threads for her..she asked me to 'splain why she hasn't responded.

I'm going to spend the afternoon putting away the decorations. And then curling up with my book!

What's on your plate?......................

I just heard on the weather here in Ok. about all the lake effect snow in your part of the world Alffe.... I hope you guys are staying warm.... I wont complain about the "cold" north wind blowing here today. i have no real plans for the day. today is the last day of the kiddos Christmas Break, so i'm sure as soon as sis gets out of bed she'll want to go somewhere.
{{HUGS}}} for the room

We used to get a lot of crows in our mulberry tree out back. My husband shot peanuts at them with a slingshot through an open window. We got rid of the crows, but attracted a lot of squirrels. We couldn't drive them off with peanuts because they stood their ground and tried to catch them. Oh well, at least it kept them busy and away from the bird feeders.

I hope Bizi has a safe trip back.

It's VERY cold here. This morning the wind chills were -22. I feel SO BAD for our homeless people. The news reporters showed some of them huddling together to keep warm under flimsy blankets, but I know that's still not enough.

((Hugs)) back atcha Goofy (and everyone else too)

I can't SEE the plate .... it's covered with cold

LOL i have this visual of these squirrels standing on their hind legs grabbing the peanuts as they go whirling by
its a cold morning here as well, I just checked the thermometer and its warmed up to 12 degrees . They say its suppose to be in the 60s by the weekend.... such crazy weather. I hope everybody has a good day!!!

here's a hot plate for you wren.

how about a nice warm hug?

cold here to vicky. i was soooo not wanting to take the kids to school.

Well, it's been so cold here as well...I pulled a 'Kathy' and came home Tuesday night to frozen pipes. I was so upset. No water anywhere! Luckily, the fellas that I hired to come out the next morning said no pipes were burst. Just the same, it came at a time when I was/am feeling extremely depressed and I was...well, just suffice it to say, upset.

Granddoody apparently got in a fight yesterday at the babysitter's house. He and the other little boy (close to granddoody's age) got in a pulling and fighting contest over a toy, and granddoody ended up getting a gash under his eye.
