Sunday Fun

I always try to call work fun, so I don't get down and out about doing it.  Actually, it was Hubby who said he's glad we had to go out and cut wood yesterday.  He said it's good to get fresh air in winter.   Then again, he's the first to say, "why do we do this?" when we run out of wood and we haven't planned early for it, ha ha!

The last few times we split wood, I found beauty all around us and went back out with my camera.  Hubby laughs at this, and calls me "crazy."

Here are the photos I took:





I may be crazy about certain things, but it was just too pretty not to take photos (even though we froze our ba-zoongas off slpitting wood).  

I had a carhartt over a full body carhartt.  Hubby's old ones that is.  And insulated boots.  Every winter I remind him why we need to cut more wood in the better weather months.  I know we had hiccups these past few years, but I am hopeful for a better planned year this year.

The snow is already rolling in (again).  I thought they said later in the week. Hm.  I hope it's not a lot.  At least it's not blowing today.  Whew.  My barn doors are froze shut (but one), so I'm looking forward to warmer days again.

I spent the rest of Sunday crocheting.  Hubby got called to work (prior to splitting wood), and housework just didn't sound right on what I call, my "rest" day.

I think I'll pull some more pumpkin soup from the freeze and get the day started.  I'm tempted to crochet all day (he he!) Or read a book.  Oh boy, that would be a treat.  I better got off here and get my chores done.  Have a wonderful Monday.

Your photos are so beautiful. Worth being cold to see such beauty.

Despite the hardship of that horrible weather, it does make for beautiful photos. Hope you managed to get some reading done.

Beautiful ice sculptures! But it had to have been cold splitting all that wood!
We are still stuck in the deep freeze around here too!

We’re due for another storm, too. Although, it doesn’t call for a lot of snow.
Isn’t the ice beautiful? Too bad it’s a bear to drive in!

mamasmercantile, I did not get any reading time, but I hope to this week.
Liz, I am thankful I have old carhartts to wear, but yeah, it's cold.
Debbie, you are right about driving in this weather. Brr!

I know when I used to split wood on the farm I liked it cold as I worked up a sweat! Are you sure you're not 'goofing off' too much? LOL! Just kidding. It has been brutally cold everywhere. Your pictures are pretty...nature pictures are the best!
I have Saturday as Craft Day otherwise I really don't get to focus time on them and then Sunday is rest also but sometimes I have to cook or do some chores....I need to plan my Sundays better. Good for you!
Sam I Am, my craft days rotate depending on what work needs done here too.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
