Yes, I'm happy it snowed! I took lots of pics today (keep scrolling down), ordered some free gardening seed catalogs online, got the rest of the Christmas decorations taken down and all are packed away. I even took down the tired but well loved light up reindeer out front and put them out to pasture. (That made me a little sad - I didn't want to get rid of them, they're my first ones, but they're old (I bought them at the thrift shop 2 yrs ago (?) for $5 each and they were old then) & mostly don't light up anymore, so... I'm actually fighting the urge to get dressed & run out to rescue them from the garbage as I type this. I know, I'm weird!) I also took the light up candy canes down to the basement with some of the indoor decorations.

And yes, great googley moogley it's bleepin' COLD!

I love this pic.

I've been trying to take pictures of the snow here, but I'm over it-LOL.

I had a memory recently of when one of my college roommates and I took a break from studying for finals to go play in the snow - at midnight. We were really silly. That might have been the last time I liked snow.

Ah, seed catalogs. I LOVE seed catalogs. They are such a sign that spring will come, winter will end, and there will be a time when the darkness will lift! I even love the design of them!
I love seed catalogs too Teri! Just the sight of them cheers me up, their covers so colorful.

G, I'm not sure why I still take snow pics actually, but I can't seem to help myself.
G, that's a wonderful memory!

One of my fav memories of snow was before I met Vic, my girlfriend Kathy had been hanging out at my apartment in Matawan until about 4am - we'd been wathing movies, eating take out from Chilli's and having a blast, the only light in the living room besides the tv was my little Christmas tree lit with multi colored lights - she left about 4am & my living room window was cracked open. I looked out and saw that it was snowing, everything glistened! Then I hear her voice in a very loud whisper call to me, "Joanne! It's snowing!" I returned in the same not so quiet whisper, "I know!" and then ran downstairs to the porch where she was. It was gorgeous! And so quiet. When she left, I got dressed and walked with the ex to 7-11 to get hot cocoa, during which, on the way I slipped on ice, fell and hit my head!

Lol!

But, it's still one of my fav snow memories!

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 (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?
