Baby It's Cold Outside!

(I definitely favor the Dean Martin version for those who care!)Anywhooo, the temps up here have been hovering around zero and below for the last four days!!! Burrrr...and yes we all have to trudge out in it, even the schools stay open. And honestly I can't say that I've heard of any injuries due to the cold to either child or adult. It's just burn your nose, chill you to the bone for hours kind of cold! We had a good six inches of snow on top of what we had to start the week.
Honestly, the mornings have been gorgeous though; once you get past the pain! When it gets THIS cold the skies are generally crystal clear. That makes for some amazing sunrises and a beautifully colored sky.
I have a lovely country ride to work. After ooooing and ahhhing over the sky for three days I broke down Friday and left early with my camera to see what shots I could get. Yeah I was the geek in 4 degree weather daring to pull over and try to get some pictures!! I'll be sharing more of my pictures here: http://www.beemoosie-picture-diary.blogspot.com/ in the up coming week.

I'm doing the happy dance here because I have a three day weekend!! I warned both teenagers that Monday I will not be leaving this house to take you here there or anywhere!! I will not go pick up Joe, Betsey, Fred or Ethyl! They are welcome to come over and hang out, but it is my first day off that does not involve a family get together and I am being selfish with it!!! I have house work to do today, including to finish putting Christmas decor away, tomorrow will be church and whatnot, Monday is all about getting some creative time in(hopefully in my JAMMIES!) I joined a Valentine swap and had the MOST fun picking out new supplies last week so I believe I will work on that. I am not sure if my fabric is still speaking to me, it's been so long since I visited.

Well, to close I will show you my favorite find at that antique shop a few weeks back. I LOVE transferware of all colors, but I had not found any brown around here. Magazines have been big on featuring collections of brown the last few years and it called my name. I was so excited to find a few little trinkets of brown on my last stop.

I guess I should get today's chores started so I can play on Monday! Hope you are all keeping warm!

Yes! its cold alright--I like winter (I can't say I love it) but I also appreciate the beauty and when I can dodge the snowmobilers, I love to take walks (and pictures!) in the snow with Buck.
Our pipes to the shower and sink in the bathroom froze! PB had to cut a hole in the wall and has a heater on it--hopefully it will break open today. So Thankful the kitchen sink and washing machine is not frozen.
Enjoy your weekend!
Blessings to You!

Oh! I forgot to mention how lovely your brown transferware is! You have a nice, growing collection and I'm sure it adds a warm and vintage feel to your home.
And your pup is just the cutest! I want to pinch those cheeks!
Love ya!

My goodness Bon, I'm not used to seeing you about this often. What a nice treat. You know I'm always happy for you when you get time off from work. Now you stick to your guns about Monday and stay home. Just hope you don't have to use the guns to do it.
Yes cold and snow. Most we have had in a few years. Nice pictures you took, now stay in the house.

Isn't it nice to have a day to pamper yourself? I'm so glad that you got one of those. We all need it once in a while.

Love that last photo!
