Winter Wonderland/Nov 30th

 Winter has arrived!!! We got around 8" of snow, maybe more? This is the first big total in 2 years. Guess I will have to get out my cross country ski's this year!! I cannot wait for freshly groomed trails. They only do that when we have at least 6 inches! 

Evan 11 and Madelyn 5. 

Happy Thanksgiving

1st Snow! Nov 26th

 The First Snow this winter, Nov 26th. Thankfully, it was just 1 inch, but today is going to be COLD 20's and windy. 

I managed to get the green around the front door with some lights done yesterday when it was still 45*F and lightly raining. I'll add some Christmas reds and other items after T-day. 

Also got some of those star lights and hung them up inside along the patio door. I purchased another set of 5 to go in the front of the house below the stairs. I'd put them everywhere if I could! They are $39 each so this year 2 sets are good enough! 

Happy 30th Birthday Don!!

60 degrees on Nov 4th!

 I'll take a nice 60 degree day in November! I plan to mulch up the leaves. We have a lot as most of the trees are almost done dropping. 

The trees all seemed extra colorful this year and hung on to the leaves longer. 

Now comes the clean up! I'll try mulching most and then bag up the ones that are on the road. That's the project for this nice weather afternoon. 

I have plenty of  indoor projects to get to this winter. Go thought the pantry and always organize all the rooms and purge. 

This week is Logan and Kendra's birthdays. A busy birthday week. We'll do a family dinner on Sunday. I'll make a cake and chicken lettuce wraps. 

I have a few gifts left to buy and need 4 birthday cards for this month all the birthdays. December there is another 3 family members with birthdays too and then we wait till feb for Celina's birthday. It's a lot with the holidays too. 

I've been on a running streak. Day #15 of running a mile and doing 15 min total of run/walk at the end. Along with lifting weights at least 5 days a week. Dieting took a bit of a hit the last few days. Got to get back and control calories once again. Week #3
