These snowy photos are from last week. Thanks to the rain rain raaaiiiin, the snow is gone now.

The Boy built the snowman; I added the flair.

That is an actual carrot, friends. Jealous?

The snow impacted my lifestyle (ha ha, “lifestyle”) very little this year. The day I had to drive down to the mechanic with non-working windshield wipers while actual snow was coming down was a little scary, but I soothed myself with a vanilla latte and a face-sized chocolate cookie and that made it all better.

My, er, “snowdog” in the backyard. Discouraged by the outcome I smashed my foot through snowdog moments later.

Tee hee. I’m sick. What do sick people cook for dinner? I’m going to look up crockpot recipes after I get off this blarg. I like the idea of tossing a bunch of shit into a pot and then 4-5 hours later, poof, dinner.

The inner coat portion of the glorious blue coat I bought the Boy for Christmas. He keeps finding cool hidden pockets. It’s the gift that keeps on giving!

My mother-in-law graciously gave me this quilt hoop, which helps stretch the fabric while you’re tying the quilt, so the quilt has a smoother appearance.

“Maybe my quilts will look nicer now?” I mused out loud.

“I always thought you wanted ’em to look lumpy like that,” the Boy snickered at me. NO!
