I got all the wood stacked against the house. After I had piled a bunch of it I stopped so Rusty could build some kind of structure around it. Well, he built a structure alright! It's better than the addition on our house...lol. Well, not really but it's close! He put up a plywood roof and sides and then shingled the top to match the house. On the open side, he has two big green tarps. Let's see how that goes, There might be some type of better side next year.
I'm finding it colder than I ever have before. I'm sure it's due to the weight loss. Just gives me a reason to knit more warm things!
I'm going on a weekend women's retreat to a place in Bracebridge. It's normally used for quilters but they rent it out occasionally to knitters. I believe there are 11 of us total going from the shop. I'm really looking forward to it. I'm sure I'll get out and about while I'm there, I intend on taking my snowshoes and camera.
I've been enjoying getting in touch with old friends via Facebook. It's really an incredible thing. I'm lucky because there really isn't anyone that I really don't want to hear from. I don't hold grudges against people. I've been chatting with a friend from back in the Meadowvale days. Laurie and I have been friends for a long time but we drifted apart for a number of reasons about the time her son was born. Well, almost 16 years have passed and Voila! There she is on Facebook!! It's been a blast chatting and catching up and hope to see her again soon. We've got to get the scanner out and scan a crapload of pictures so we can share them all. Sounds like a fun thing to do on a stormy winter day near a warm fire (and maybe a bottle of White Zinfandel.)
Today we're in a storm warning although I see blue sky and white clouds out there right now but from what they're predicting...uhoh. 30-50 cm of snow over the next 2 days?? Wow, that's a lot of snow. Even for here! My big weather vanes are telling me it's gonna snow too. The windmills are facing Barrie (North-East) and when they do, we get snow. Let's see if it holds true today because as I said, the sky is blue with white puffy clouds.
Well, back to the housework, laundry, ironing, vacuuming, you know...normal stuff...lol. My guys didn't come home last night because of the weather so I have food for tonight so I don't even have to leave here today at all! YAY.
:o)
