Still Cold Still Dreary

Well the ice storm from Thuesday finally went away. The trees were really kinda pretty with all the ice on them. One had a cardinal sitting in it and was the perfect winter picture. But since I am ready for spring I appreciated but wished for robins and leaves.

Went dumpster diving at my neighbors. She passed away and her kids were cleaning out. Got two buckets for planters in the front yard, two rakes, some old kids dishes like I had to play with and wonders of wonders, I found an old pink toy electric range. Just like one I had. I salvaged it and it is sitting in a place of honor in front of the fireplace.

I really love my gas logs. They keep the family room warm and toasty and I have always loved a fire.

Guess K and the girls are coming up in a couple of weeks. I have three card games to play with L. Fish, Old Maid and Crazy Eights. We should have fun. She likes to play cards and I like to play with her.

Spent most of last night thinking about Papa. Seemed like he was right in the room and had many smiles over memories. We had such fun times and I love reliving them.

Might clean today or might not. Just another fun day here if BFA.

Cold and Dreary

Well, here it is the cold and dreary day in January that I wish was over with. I have been giving the outside dogs extra canned food and enjoy not having to mow grass. But will be very glad for spring.
I am doing laundry and have to put the clean sheets on my bed. At least they won't smell like Sparky dog. He needs a bath but is just too cold. He wears his sweater all the time now and won't go outside without his car coat. Such a spoiled little thing.
I love my gas logs. They make the family room warm and toasty. And I can keep my thermostat set on 60 for the rest of the house. I have such a big house to heat and cool.
Nothing much going on here. Took the trash out to the road for tomorrow and got the mail so that is my "have" to do list.
Got a new small bookcase for Papa's m&m tins. That way I have more room for storage in the plant room. Al my Halloween and Xmas decorations are in there. That was I can keep from going in the attic.
Just sitting here waiting for spring and warmer weather. Hopefully soon.
