November Two Too Busy

It's raining/snowing here this morning.  It snaining. Wow, what a muddy mess my yard is. I am looking forward to freeze-up and a nice clean blanket of snow.  Today is pack up Halloween/Fall day.  Then I'll wait a couple of weeks before starting on decorating for winter and Christmas. I don't like looking at seasonal décor for too long.  Mind you, I don't like looking at any décor for too long, and so I am often changing things up.  My family both loves and hates this practice.  My husband cringes every time I pound a new nail into the wall, or 3 because I didn't measure and for some reason my eyeballing technique failed me. Tip: have your glass of wine after you're done redecorating.

My November is looking to be a very busy one.  I've maybe overbooked and even double-booked myself. I have several photography workshops to attend, and there will probably be homework.  I have a craft show I'm taking my jewelry too, (thank you to my husband who has agreed to sit at my table for part of that day). There is a 2 day trip to the big ol' city to get some Christmas shopping done.  A couple of dentist appointments. Piano and art classes to get the kids to.  Several sleepovers.  Add in my daily routine of house chores, and I should be ready to sleep right through December.
 
I do like to be active, as long as I have my evenings on the couch to look forward to. Speaking of evenings, I will leave you with a pretty sunset picture taken a couple of weeks ago.

    Wow! Beautiful photo!

    Well ....let's see. It's November 2nd and the high today was 90°F this afternoon. There is something totally WRONG with that. LOL I'm longing for cooler weather!

    That is one stunning sunset! - Looks like you do have a busy November planned. I put away my Halloween decor this week and put up Fall/Thanksgiving. We will do Christmas after Thanksgiving is over.
    It's getting harder each year to haul all the stuff out and I'm not so excited about putting a tree up this year with 2 new young kittens in the house. We'll see how that goes....Have a great day.

A Blog Event That Caught My Eye

This looked like a ton of fun, so why not? I started a blog as a way of introducing myself to those who wanted to get to know me better than what my little Etsy shop offered. I had absolutely no idea where it would go, how long it would last, or if I would get any response. As it turns out, none of that matters. I just love to do it. And I love reading the blogs of others as well. It's far better than TV. Click on the picture for all the details, and to register your blog. Here is what I'm offering up as my giveaway. A stone necklace with various findings. All findings are silver plated and it has no clasp because it measures a long 33 inches. I can not wait to see what everyone else is doing.

Snow Day!

It has been a wonderful, drawn out fall.  I've enjoyed easy walks around my yard well into December, and more time outdoors than I usually get during these first two winter months. This balance between indoors and outdoors is essential to keeping me feeling good.  I hate being cooped up in the house for too long without a breath of fresh air.  It makes me tired, and I'm a grouch when I'm tired. Yesterday, Old Man Winter decided to correct his oversight in our corner of the world, and deposited between 6 and 8 inches of snow.  It looked light and fluffy, but it was actually very dense and it took a lot of work on my husband's part to tidy up the driveway. The prairie I walk in out back was so completely whited out, it seemed as though I was getting nowhere, even though I could clearly feel the muscles in my legs straining to get me through the snow.  It is actually quite dizzying to be looking at nothing but pure white and trying to move forward.  I had ...
