It is a whopping 19 degrees out this morning!! I took the pigs out... and they didnt even want to be out there!! I no sooner put water in their bowls, and it started to freeze!
It made it pretty damn clear that I NEED winter cover-alls. I was using my hunting ones... but since I am actually hunting this year...I am not "allowed" to wear them out for animal care. It almost kills me to have to go and buy another set!! I guess I will pull out my TSC 10% off coupon and suck it up to stay warm this winter. :-/
Stacy's tractor is frozen too. It wont start and he is NOT a happy camper!! He has some yard clean up to do... since they worked on the roof yesterday and everything ended up in the side yard (extra metal scraps, the chimney they tore down & screws).
They did manage to get roofing on ALL of the actual house roof!! WOOO HOOO!! We just have the side kitchen yet (which was a porch) and the front porch. I am sooooo happy about all of the roof progress!!! It took 2 yrs for us to get a front porch, and this is the second fall that we have had the roofing laying in our yard.
There isnt going to be a "family dinner" today. Instead we are all going to go out to the gun club and shoot hunting rifles! :-) I sure hope the sun warms us up some!!
I finally got most of the rows back on the blanket that I had to rip out the other day... all because I some how managed to add 3 stitches and it would have drove me crazy if I wouldnt have fixed it. This is what happens when I crochet AND do a million other things like help with homework, carry on a conversation and try to keep up with what everyone is doing! LOL!!
I didnt sleep all that well last night. I am really hoping that tonight is different. That is 2 nights in a row I was up and down all night! I HATE when that happens.
Nathan spent the weekend with Debbie. He will be home around 11 to go shooting with us. He is always a real "joy" when he comes home. She doesnt follow our strict NO DYES rule... so it takes me DAYS to get him back on track.
This week is THANKSGIVING!! I cant believe how fast the year has gone. Next weekend this time I will be up to my eye balls in Christmas decorations! LOL!! I wish we were able to spend Christmas week at the cabin again... :-( Last Christmas was such an amazing trip. The snow was perfect... all 18 inches of it!! Hunting was fun... but the kids are severely allergic to whatever wood is being burnt up there... and since it is a mix, we have no clue which on it is.
I guess I should get to work! I have body butters to whip up... for Christmas gifts and a special blend for my piggies. Then I need to get started on some special crocheted gifts.
I officially started my Christmas shopping on Friday... I ordered my first gifts!! :-) I hope to have the rest all done this week... then I dont have to worry about it!! It will be smooth sailing into the Holidays at our house. I know my shop will be pretty chaotic and busy... usually is over the Holidays. Everyone wants pretty pups when people visit for Christmas!! Let's hope they dont wait until the last minute... Because I WILL be closed for the 2 weeks over Christmas and New Years this year!! I have some changes I want to make... I am going computerized... for billing and scheduling!! EXCITING!!! I just hope the "growing pains" arent too awful. LOL
