5 Days Until Christmas

in life in general, quilts, weather

I have been having a little trouble with my blog server so if you have trouble reaching me at times that is why, usually if you check back it will be here.

The Christmas season is really coming up fast now.  I have done very little baking and do not plan to this year.  Sometimes I think we find the Christmas season a reason to stuff ourselves with baked goods that our bodies really do not need — we want it of course :) but we do not need it.  We are having very little company and for two people – it is an excuse to pig out!  I will bake just a tiny bit. We will not have a white Christmas this year, we rarely do.  It is supposed to get very cold though tonight and tomorrow.  Our blast of winter I suppose.  One of our daughters and her family live in Wisconsin and here is a photo of winter up there – our grandson laying next to the mailbox that is almost covered in snow he looks a little tuckered out from playing so hard:

Now that is some snow isn’t it!  In a way I miss the snow living here in the south we really do not get it real often, but when you think of all that cold weather then I’m kind of satisfied with a short winter.

The Mariners Compass quilt is now on the bed.  It fits really well and we both love it.
