Weekend Update

Well - last weekend the snow was melting and I thought I would be able to show you pictures of my garden this weekend, minus the snow. Unfortunately we got close to 6 inches of snow starting on Tues. and ending Wed. Night. These pics were taken on Tues. evening. Don't have to worry about mowing grass or planting the garden for a while yet. 

I haven't created anything this week. Just can't seem to get the energy. I think menopause is starting. Have good days when I have lots of energy & get lots done, then days where getting up to make breakfast and doing the simple chores just seems like to much work. Days when "being organized" seems like a dream, I just go from one thing to another, but don't get anything done all the way. Can't seem to focus.

Okay - we'll end that train of depressing thought here. One to something more fun!!

Is that too much fun? One year I had 1/2 my shopping done for the boys by the end of April!! Got lucky and found Lego & Knex on sale (1/2 price) at a toy store. Total Fluke! No - I haven't started shopping yet. Would if I knew what to get though. Really hate the rush before Christmas - people seem to loose their manners.

One the right side bar and also on the left close to the bottom are many shop mini's with bags. I love bags!! Please check out their shops - I promise - you will be amazed. Also please check out my previous post (1 down) about the BAG SWAP I'm having. Join if you can.

Winter/Snow

It's winter in Manitoba, Canada. Over the last few days on blogs and in Etsy forums I've heard/read people complaining about the cold. HMMMM. Yesterday was the clincher for me. I was an a blog and the writer was complaining about the +53F temps they were having where she lived. She was cold! EXCUSE ME? Okay after more reading I found out that she lives in Florida. 53F - give me a break! Lasst week school was cancelled 3 days because of the -49F temps was were having (includes wind chill) We had highs of -22F without the wind!!! I was quite happy that school was cancelled, at least I didn't have to go out and start the school bus.

I was also emailing back & forth with another woman in Virginia who's son was hoping for enough snow to make a snowman. We have the snow & I would love to send them some, but because of the cold temps we're having the snow doesn't stick together to make a snowman.

So I thought will all the complaints & talk about the winter - I would post some pics of our yard and what it looks like now. You will notice in some of the pictures that my hubby is blowing snow so we can get off the yard. The joys of living in flat country with snow and wind.
