Even though Hubby didn't want to exchange gifts, I took advantage of a 50% off sale and got him some joggers for the gym, a new pair of slippers with rubber soles (he wanted some to take the dog out), and half price snow boots. He hasn't had a pair for a few years. I got them half off and another $10 off that. A very good deal. I already gave him the snow boots. All things he's needed, but never took the time to get himself.
Hubby asked me to write up a list of things to get me. I told him "I have no idea."
Finished the double wrap infinity scarf. It's ready for delivery. She previously ordered the headband, and wanted a scarf to match.
Finished Hubby's hat. Got it wrapped too. He has no idea. I've been working on it while he's at work. Very warm too.

Baby it's Cold Outside ~ "Sugar Plums in my Head"
Thursday the "feels like" index was 0°F. It was frigid for sure. I did the water exchange for the chickens, but the door was froze to the ground on the barn. After a few minutes I got it free.
I've been dreaming of a better garden year more so then ever. I sure miss my bounty.
I've also be dreaming of the days when I can dry my laundry outside again. It's been so cold, and not very windy, nor sunny lately.
We are planning our daughter's 18th birthday party now. Hard to believe it's arriving already.
I'm just about done with my scarf order. Hopefully I will have time today for that.
Today is the last day of school for Christmas break. Daughter is taking her teacher gifts in. I ended up putting together 3 nail polish crochet ornaments and they each got some strawberry margarita jam. I hope they like their gifts.
