Pioneer Woman at Heart

I took this photo Monday morning.  Winter has officially arrived - rain, freezing rain, snow and bitter temperatures (but not as bad yet as last winter).   Yesterday, although a bit cold, the sun was shining and there was a pretty good wind out there. Larger towels were dried in front of the wood stove. I've sort of been hibernating and ever so slowly finishing up some crochet and knitting ventures.   I took this crochet project camping in August of 2014.  I found it in a bag in my closet while cleaning. . . .

Woke up to fog.  And cold.  I left windows open all night due to the warm weather.  We woke up to a pretty cold house.  Brr.  The kids have a 2 hour delay today, so I actually slept in for once.  

Hubby spent most of the day wrestling with the mower.  He did have to order a part, which should arrive in a week or so.  I continue to wrestle the weeds in the garden.

 (Winston, playing under the rug during a snowstorm) I don't know if you remember or not, but last winter (before last Christmas) we found this cat in one of our barns - declawed, neutered, and the best behaved, loving cat I ever met. Unfortunately, with 3 indoor cats already, and two that are males, spraying was a huge problem.  Unable to find a home for him myself, he went to a shelter about 1 hour away. I don't think I even blogged about it either.  It was just a sad moment for me.
