GET READY!!!

Seems that the National Weather Service has predicted that we are going to have a very mild winter!!!! And considering their record on predicting the weather......BUY A SNOW PLOW, STOCK UP ON SALT BAGS, AND GET THE SNOW SHOVEL OUT OF THE SHED NOW!!!!!!

These are the people who said that this year would be one of the WORST hurricane seasons ever!!!! They even added like 4 names of hurricanes to be prepared. AND WE DIDN'T GET EVEN ONE HURRICANE!!!!! Not one!!!! Everytime they predict something, it goes the opposite way!

Mother Nature doesn't like people second guessing her!!!!! Don't they know that yet???? Well, my friends, believe the weather service if you will..... But I'm buying salt for ice this week, and I already pulled my snow shovel from the shed and put it in the closet in the house.

I'm not saying I don't wish they were being truthful, but with their record ... I'm still going to be prepared! GIGGLE

Ok better pic of the little trees

HAPPY YULE

Merlin wants to wish all of you a happy Yule, Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays!!!! Of course, since I took the picture, all he wants to do is bite my face off!!!

But Hay, what are pets for if you can't torture them???? GIGGLE

Heeheehheeeee

I'm very happy to report that I was the FIRST in the neighborhood to put up their outside lights. LOL

I had them up for about 4 days before I lighted them..... And I watched, no one even had any lights up!

So last night I lit the lights, and kept them on for the whole night..... And this afternoon, I saw all the neighbors surrying to put their stuff up. GIGGLE I LIKE BEING FIRST. LOL

It's almost as if they were all waiting for someone to do it first, before they did it. And I was the one, now I'm sure the whole place will be lighted up in a few days!!!!

Taking night pictures suck!

I wanted to give you a good picture of my outside lights, but it's hard to do that at night, and during the day you can't see much.

But, this is what I did this year.

I kept the outside very understated. Just lights on the two tree's along with some red Christmas balls, and the lighted bluish snow flakes on the arbor. I could have done more, but sometimes a little is good enough. I may add some white lights to the door way, but I'm pretty sure I like it how it is now.

I didn't want to go overboard. Oh, and I have candles (not real ones) in every window of the house, just a tiny extra touch.

I'm pretty happy with it, and seems that others are too..... Since I've had cars riding past and stopping to look all evening. GIGGLE. Thank you, I think it's pretty too!

Getting closer!!!

Getting closer, but not quite there. Everything I could wrap by stuffing in a box..... is done. The rest can wait a few days till I recover from the first mess!!!! LOL

WHINE

Now all I have to do is wrap all thoes frigging gifts and put them under the tree I really hate wrapping!!!!!!!! Maybe if I do just a few each day, it woun't hurt as much?? You think!!!!

TADAHHHHH!!!!!!
