Snow for Thanksgiving!!Let it snow, Let it snow, LET IT SNOW!!!!!!!! It is still snowing… We have about 4+ inches and oh is it beautiful! I’m listening to Christmas music right now. I can’t help but get into the Christmas spirit when it snows. I’m going to put on a pot of apple cider with a couple of cinnamon sticks and whole cloves, bake something outrageously fattening, and crochet something warm and comfy. There is such a peacefulness when it snows (unless it’s a blizzard that is).
I’m looking forward to all of the snow we’ll be getting when we move. Rarely do we have snow like this before Thanksgiving. And more often than not, we don’t even have snow for Christmas. We love to do pretty much any outdoor activity that’s in snow, and we just don’t get to do them often here. We all have a cold, DS and I seem to have it worse in our bronchial tubes so I’m not letting DS outside right now. He wants to play in the snow SO BAD! DD, bless her heart, brought in a bucket of snow for him to eat and play in. He’s been having fun and I’ve been busy picking it up off the floor. :o] I’m hoping he’s feeling good enough tomorrow to play outside. I’ve learned from experience that cold air makes coughing much worse. Our 2 year old nanny goat isn’t feeling well. We let them out Sunday so we could clean their pen and barn before the snow hit. Well, they decided to nibble on the old straw for the ducks. We kicked them out when we saw them eating it, but I’m pretty sure it gave her a tummy ache. She wouldn’t eat anything yesterday morning, so we went around picking anything I knew of that would make her tummy feel better if she’d eat it. We offered her some mint, cedar, and willow leaves. She really went to town on the willow leaves, then later in the day she started eating some hay. This morning, she nibbled on her grain during milking, but she’s still looking a little sick. I pray that she’s back to herself soon. We got our Christmas shopping done already! I’m SOOOO happy to have it done. Now we can avoid the rush and our selection was awesome. The gifts are even already wrapped. :o) We had to so the kids wouldn’t stumble upon them. Well, that’s all that’s been going on around here… The neighbors are still their sociopathic selves, but they just got a hefty fine from BLM for stealing boulders yet again, so they’ve been pouting and pretty quiet, until this morning when my shoveling the snow away from my mailbox was taken as a threat by the wife so her husband had to hop into their suburban and drive by very slowly. Course, by the time he went by, I was already back in the yard and didn’t even look at him. To end on a lighter note, I’m planning on making a few pies tomarrow for Thanksgiving. We always spend Thanksgiving with my mom and step dad. My mom makes the BEST main course (turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, string beans, and macaroni & shrimp salad). I always make pumpkin pies and then whatever sounds good. This year DD wants apple pie, DH wants cherry pie, Pecan pie sounds wonderful to me as does a new recipe I found called Kona Banana Cream Pie. You can find it at recipezaar (recipe # 202442). Oh my!!!!!!!!!!!! We’ll see how many pies I actually get done. :o) If I don’t write again until after Thanksgiving, I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving! { Post a Comment } { Last Page } { Page 9 of 60 } { Next Page } |
