Think the kids (there are three of them) are tired of each other. Two hour delay tomorrow so at least they will get to see other faces. They had the cutest video on Facebook today. Check it out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aw1ZDWa4YsU Will definitely put a smile on your face.
Chickens and ducks are happier. Yesterday they didn't hardily venture out of the coop. Today the yard was filled with little footprints. It got up to the high 40's so most of the snow is gone. Driveway is clear after 5" of snow on it yesterday. And I didn't even get the snow shovel out.

Snowy and cold day
Had another snow storm today. Which if you are not familiar with southwest Virginia is a big deal. Everything shuts down and you are expected to stay off the roads. We don't have the road equipment to handle snow. Of course, the ice that followed the 9" of snow made the situation even worst. Needless to say No School tomorrow.
I took advantage of the whole situation and taught myself a weaving technique. Was suppose to go to a workshop last Saturday to learn the technique but that did not happen. So yesterday when I went the weaver's guild meeting I picked up the class notes and today I taught it to myself. Hopefully you will be seeing an item using huck weaving in the near future.

Another cold day
Okay once was cute but......
They came to visit again. Can't blame them it is really cold outside.

The fun begins tonight. First snow then sleet. They have already closed school for tomorrow. Good day to escape to the basement and weave. The kids will be home and wild because they have been cooped up in the house for too long. Two days is about their limit.
Don't mind going down and weaving as I went to my weaver's guild meeting today and saw a lot of things I want to try. Saw the cutest shawl/jacket. Have to finish the holiday towels on my wide loom so I can make one.
Got a lot of pretty flowers for Valentine's Day.

Quiet Day
The day seemed real quiet even with lots of people in the house. The kids played video games and watched a movie. My daughter and husband, son and wife all had plans for a valentine evening and grandma got all four kids. Can't complain they have been good and they are all in bed.
The animals have been slow moving also. Maybe the cold weather. It was 9 degrees last time I checked. They were so funny. After feeding and watering them, they followed LK and I back to the house and into the breezeway. Guess they thought they would just spend the day with us.
Cat doesn't like the cold weather either. Did I say the kids are in bed. Well one just came to me and complained about the cat. Seems she was playing in the plant on the nightstand and making lots of noise. Went into the bedroom and sure enough here is the cat in the plant.Didn't want to be taken out either.
Do you know? In 1913 milk cost 36 cents a gallon in 2013 it cost $3.53.

Just one of those days
Ever have one of those days where you get nothing done but you planned to get a lot done. Got up had a long list of things to get done and most of them didn't happen. Think the last straw was when I opened the dishwasher after supper. I was going to unload it then load it and have a clean kitchen in the morning. One of my favorite glass cups had explosed in the dishwasher. Glass everywhere. So my son-in=law helped me clean it out as best as we could and then ran the dishwasher empty to get the rest. So I loaded the old dishes back in the dishwasher and washed them again to get the glass off them. No clean kitchen. And the project I planned to do after dinner didn't get done eithe.
Will leave you on a happy note. My daughter came in from the grocery store with a beautiful plant for Valentines Day the later m y son-in-law brought me candy and roses for Valentine Day. So there was a bright spots in the day.

On Order
Got a new stove on order today. Should be delivered on Monday, weather permitting. Saw a post on facebook today of a ground hog holding a sign that said "I lied". From the sounds of the current weather report he sure did. Either Sunday or Monday we are suppose to be getting frozen stuff. Either ice or snow or a mixture. Spring temperatures in the high 60's and low 70's is what I am looking forward to. Keep seeing robins in the yard so one of these days soon I should get my wish.
Four year olds can be so cute (I have two currently living with me). They decided that they needed measure to see if they had grown. The first one was measured and she had grown about 1/2 inch. When the second one was measured she had not grown since the last time. She said, "that is because I go to the bathroom alot." Where that came from we have no idea.
All three kids are eagerly looking forward to their valentine parties at school tomorrow. The oldest who is in the second grade has a dance. He isn't real sure about that part as he has never been to a dance. He is looking forward to the treats that follow the dance.
Have a day.
