Our little WinterWonderland...
If you could take away the '30 speed limit' sign, this picture could be an old postcard, huh? This was the pretty snow that fell on Saturday.
NO, the dog isn't driving, the truck is parked!
Prancer and I ventured out this morning for a photo shoot. It was so quiet, our evergreen trees where full of little birds and the only sound was them chirping away, talking about how yummy the neighbors fresh bird seed was!
and then, all of a sudden a hush came over the land.............
Can you see the culprit...hiding behind the tree? Mr. Hearts was lookin for a little feathered friend! He was having so much fun running around in the snow. :)

Its the start of Holiday Parties!!
Fa-la-la-la-la !!!!!
One of my knitting friends hosted her annual Holiday Party over the weekend and it was a wonderful amount of Ho-Ho Fun!!!
You can probably tell by the gleam in our eyes, or the rosy in our cheeks, or the cheery smiles that indeed we are having a good ole time !!!
Beautiful Biscotti, this time it was Pecan with chocolate on top. My fav is Chocolate Almond with orange zest. If you have never tried to make biscotti on your own, you Must! It is sooo easy, once you make the dough, just like making cookie dough, you form it into a log shape and bake it and the slice it kattywampus and re-bake for 10 more minutes. Great little gifts for the Ho-Ho days!! We love them dipped in our Lattes and Hot Tea.
Look !!!!! We got Prancer to pose with Chelsea and I.... and she is even looking at the camera!!!! Happy Ho-Ho to you all!!

Just a few things have happened...
Let's see... I had a birthday, yep I turned 29 again and again!!
and I must say, I had a lovely birthday. My hubby and family made it feel real good.
Then Thanksgiving came around and we celebrated with a nice quiet meal, played some Scrabble, then ran out and caught a movie.

It's true, I no longer have children
They are considered 'Adults'
Here is a picture of my boys at "18"
And here is a picture of the soft alpaca hand warmers that i sent my daughter, along with her 'skull' jewelry.

My knitting mojo has s l o w e d .....I've only finished one of the 4 clogs i need to make...
Striped Sweater sits dormant...looking to summery for me to finish now...
A started a beret, but since its on #1 needles it doesn't move very fast ...
Maybe happiness would entail 'starting' a new garment....
I've got one in mind, but would IT ever get finished either?????
Stay tuned
Stay tuned

Can you tell WHO is dormant during the cold months??
Oh me oh my.....this is not my favorite time of the year....
I know that all this leads to the upcoming holidays and they overwhelm me. And on top of that I have to have a another birthday! Por Que ????
Somethings are just Rude.
So the last of my children turned 18 and now my family consisted of all adults. I thought this day would never come. I can't wait to be a real empty nester and downsize. But will the housing market let us do that as soon as we want??
Wouldn't it be wonderful to move to a year round Warm Climate?! Maui comes to mind. IF it was affordable....
Would I get tired of warm days ALL the time??
Would I tire of seeing green grass and colorful flowers ALL the time?? Would I really grow tired of spending my days outside in the sunshine???
Just think, you would be wearing next to nothing everyday... so you wouldn't cover up your body in the cold months and let it go to pot!!!!
Hell, that's worth it right there!!!!
That's it, I'm saving my pennies from here out :)

I'm still trying to hold on to Summer....
Me and the Roses are refusing to give in to the call of cold weather. In this photo you can see the light dusting of SNOW! Rude indeed...
OK, ..... so it makes for a good photo opportunity..... but that's ALL.
(did you hear me? cause I was yelling a little bit there) he he he he
See I even have some color left in this garden of mine. Poor little rose buds, hoping for their day to shine.
Here is Prancer, coming over to play with her mommy in the grass. She was a bad girl yesterday and got into the kitchen trash while no one was home... she was after icky dried up cat treats. She chomped that poor plastic container to death!
I know this is a crappy picture, but I wanted to show you .......

'that my tree has BALLS' !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, ok....I have been knitting, but didn't get pictures of that. I started making Konrad his own pair of felted slippers (cause he stole Randy's). And a surprise pair of hand warmers for Chelsea. (I don't think she follows my blog?) I'm going to send them to her in the mail, so she will get some 'fun' mail at her apartment, not just bills :)

They turn "18" on Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wow.
