More snow........

Another snowy day here in Pa .... schools were closed again .... and I didn't venture out on the roads either ..... but I did put on my trusty red mittens (which look like they've seen better days, but these babies are WARM !!!) and my snow boots and ......



trudged through the backyard to fill up the squirrel .... I mean bird feeder.








Sam decided it was much more warm and cozy to watch the birdfeeder activity from INSIDE ...
















Daisy was busy inspecting the paint job in the foyer ....















......and Shadow ..... well Shadow just wasn't about to exert himself at all....














......after my exhausting trip out to the birdfeeder , the rest of the day kind of got lost ..... you know .... the kind of day where you think "where the heck did the day go and did I even do anything today?" I was thinking of claiming alien abduction to explain my lack of knowing how all of a sudden it got to be 8 PM and I still haven't combed my hair or spruced up at all .... but I do remember cleaning up last night's left over mess in the kitchen .... and a few loads of laundry were done ... and some bills were paid .... some paperwork was finished ..... but nothing FUN was done ..... THAT'S the problem !!! THAT'S why I feel like nothing was really accomplished ..... because even though I did that other stuff ..... that stuff just really is NEVER done ..... it all just keeps coming back like heart burn or gas (depending on your diet) .... BUT, when you work on a quilt, for example, you've accomplished something .... you've made some progress .... and then you go on to the next step toward actually FINISHING it .... and then it's DONE .... but, those smelly socks and gym shorts, those endless piles of dirty dishes, that dang paperwork ..... NEVER REALLY DONE !!!!

.....anyhow, the only remotely crafty thing I did today was to start throwing together my 2 baskets for Kid #1's senior class basket raffle on Sunday .....












The first one is an Italian dinner "basket" ; and the second one is a kid's craft/activity "basket" ....... both need more primping ..... tomorrow, tomorrow ....









...... oh ! and thanks everybody for your opinions on my last post about the green wool hearts/vs no green wool hearts ..... seems you're all on the same wavelength since EVERYBODY seemed to like the green wool hearts ..... me too! .... so, stay tuned for green wool hearts getting stitched to the yo yo hearts! (can you stand all this excitement?!?)
