Quilts of Valor AND!! The snow day

Today is not a snow day - and if my kids didn't have finals - I think they would have been praying for another one.  But those finals are sort of important ( I guess ha ha)

Gypsy Quilter wanted a few snow photos - and I wasn't going to brave the elements ( I mean - really - that's what I had kids for ) But for her and Dolly.... I was on it!!


These are some of our horses - the snow was blowing and the wind was howling and they! didn't want to be in the barn!!!  The others were, as were all the cattle - and that made me laugh.

These must be the die hards

Below 
One of our hay barns and sheds
See the little grey thing there - well there is 2 - those are our brave cats
They lasted a little bit, then came in as well 
(they have their own barn)


and this - this is the door to the east side of my house.
Needless to say - I didn't open it.....

Wow, I see some serious drifts there. Throw in an evergreen wreath or 2 and you'll be looking very Christmasy. Good thing you have plenty of manly muscle around there to shovel the walkways just in case you need to go out for chocolate!

I love the snow pics. We've been in the 70's here this week!

I'm so envious of your snow! Our livestock don't have a choice...they have to weather the elements. Looks like your horses are toughing it out. Stay safe on the roads and have fun sledding!

HA! Your goofy horses reminded me of a little scruffy dog we used to have. When we lived in VA, we had a garage with a door to the backyard. We had a nice heater and a piece of carpet in the garage for her but left the door open so she could potty. One evening it had snowed and I found her in the backyard laying on the piece of carpet she drug out in the yard and covered with a dusting of snow. Goofy dog, she had it made with the heater but decided she'd rather sleep in the yard. Dope! LOL

Oh yeah finals. Drama Teen has been a in study mode for the last week. She's ready for the Christmas break. Beautiful QOV quilts. So many different ways to wrap up a veteran in a hug.
