Arctic FREEZE


 
 The Flamingo Family is now up to their ears in snow!
This is not the first floor, nope....it is a pix from the second floor of our home.
 The drifting snow on our roof...amazing isn't it?
 I had an appointment yesterday and this was the inside of the building....yes...frost on the inside of the building...impressive :)
The snow and freeze has slowed everything down, which I absolutely love :)  The slower life goes the happier I am!!!  I was able to make these several days ago.  Not been able to make anything else because this is the 4th day of no-school for my co-workers.  YIKES....I'm up to my ears in pokemon cards, games, pine wood derby cars and oh yeah....that's right...laundry...double YIKES.

I've heard some say they think this is all due to global warming.....I'm thinking Wal Mart drove down the price of Arctic Freeze and some hoarder let it all go at once.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it :)

I hope everyone who is affected by this Arctic Blast is slowing down and taking time to enjoy the beauty of the white snow and life at a manageable pace.

Smiles,
Kelly

    Oh how I wish we had snow! Doesn't look like we will get any this winter at all. Thanks for sharing the beauty!

    That looks like a LOT of snow!!! Can you send us some of the moisture from it???? You can keep the cold part.

    OMG that is far more snow than what I was seeing on the National News. the West Coast is in a snow drought/no water. Please send some snow/rain/water west.

    Keep warm, stay safe.

    PS - I want to make some quilted coats for the flamingos. Do you have measurements?

    I think that bitter cold would have been easier to take if we had snow instead of freezing rain!!! I didn't have any plans... to go anywhere so I mostly stayed home! Talk about slow!

    I remember my two years in Ohio... The snow was higher than that one year. (blizzard of 78?) I am happy if i never see snow again. Ha ha.

      Gene, you can blame that on me. I was in HS then. Was supposed to go skiing that weekend. Prayed for snow. That was when I was living in Toledo.

      Hate to break it to y'all. We have a windy rain storm coming to Seattle tomorrow. That probably means more snow on the way.
