I really have not had much to "blog" about so that is the only excuse I have. As you can see, winter has arrived and with that, I have begun my winter hibernation. I have always lived where there were snowy winters and like my mother, I am not and have never been fond of the snow and cold. I do not ski, or snowmobile, or snowshoe and depend on my treadmill for winter exercise. I always told the Mr. that when I retired, I needed to be where it is warmer. However, his feet are firmly planted here, so that is why I hibernate. The cold is also not very good for the arthritic conditions that we get as we age and with an old ankle injury, I just try to stay out of the cold and away from the icy conditions.
Luckily for me, I have lots of interests that keep me occupied in the winter. I am trying to get some quilts finished and have begun my marathon reading thanks to our great little libraries, and with the holidays fast approaching, I can spend some time baking goodies. There is also the wildlife in abundance as these photos show the mama and her babies pawing through the snow to get to the grass on the leach field. Above, they are having a salad of the remnants of my flower bed. This year I will not be cooking Thanksgiving for the first time in years as our neighbor and friend is doing it but I will be contributing pies and rolls and other goodies so, here is wishing you all a great Turkey Day and if I am absent for a while, I will be back when more is happening in my world. Happy Thanksgiving!
