Happy Valentine's Day!

since we've been in the midst of a nasty winter storm since late in the evening yesterday, hubby surprised me with strawberry ice cream colored roses and a card last night!!! (he didn't want to risk not being able to get out & get anything today!)

what an icy, windy mess we've got going on here! it started as snow last night after dinner and quickly changed to freezing rain within the hour and it's been that way since about 8pm last night! it's supposed to change to rain for a few hours around noon then back to snow around 3pm and then the temperature's going to plummet and stay in the teens and 20's for days! everything's going to turn into a sheet of ice! (the marina's been frozen for a while now ~ i took some great pics this past sunday & yesterday which i'll have to post).

hubby's out with the snow blower now ~ he's having a time of it trying to push it along - it doesn't look like he's getting much traction even with his snow boots on.

except for a candle lit in the hall, there's no lights on & i turned the tv off once the morning news was finished. the freezing rain's pecking at the window's and of course there's the sound of the snow blower and the neighbor boy running after hubby with a shovel shouting questions (main reason why we've nicknamed him "question boy!"). the cats have been glued to the patio door since 6:30am this morning watching the birds & squirrels dig for seed and chase each other around in the snow.

i've got to get some writing done and straiten up the bedroom, so i'm signing off for now!

2nd Annual Practical Magic Blog Party 2011 is Here! *Updated*

It's time for the 2nd Annual Practical Magic Blog Party created & hosted by the wonderful Anna of Frosted Petunias ! My sincerest apologies for getting this up rather late! The adventure that is post Hurricane Irene cleanup & repairs has been taking up too much time recently. (sigh) Things are a mess; I only started decorating for Autumn yesterday and I'm missing Halloween decorations! Luckily my broom is always safe and sound by the front door so at least I don't have to wonder where it is. (Not that it hasn't been known to scamper off now and again - naughty broom). I was afraid, quite honestly, that I wouldn't even get a post up sometime today! I kept hitting dead ends with every other one I tried. But, this morning I sat here at the computer and it flowed. Thankfully! I would have been so disappointed if I'd missed this, it was such fun last year! As some may remember from last years party, while I like the movie, (and love that house!), I love the...

The Time Is Upon Us Once Again!

Welcome Friends! It's time once again for A Fanciful Twist Halloween Party ! Warmest thanks to the lovely Vanessa for hosting again this year. My apologies for not having this up sooner, I've been dreadfully under the weather and my helpers have been more of a hindrance! My lovely kitchen witch Helvetica has given up time off and has been cooking & baking away since last night but the skeletons have been eating everything in sight (damn their bottomless stomachs!) though they won't fess up and the invisible man has been raving on and on every time the door bell rings! I do hope you'll enjoy your visit to Pumpkin Manor and have a Happy Halloween ! I look forward to your return.

11:14pm

11:14pm (3/16/09) Watching a documentary Tennessee is so beautiful Head & nose all stuffy Out of ZyrtekD - sigh Want to read but distracted by my clogged head Hubby's snoring a little, restless a lot I worry about him He's so tired, works so much Doesn't get to do what he enjoys often enough (If at all) He willingly took my burdens & made them his own I'm still not used to being taken care of Makes me uncomfortable, guilty I took care of things for so many years Are 2 persons "stuff" too much for 1 person? Even a good, strong man? I know what it is to do more than my "fair share" Though the situation was completely different Is the end result the same?
