Snow on trees...

 I love  bare trees covered in snow. It's so pretty.

And the big tall majestic cedar trees, bending with the weight of the heavy snow.

Husband went out and measured the snow on top of the Trooper. It was 6" Looks like so much more. In some places it is more.  We lost power last night about 11. Normally I wouldn't mind at all, except now we have well water. Which is run by an electric pump. So no power, no water. I have to have water, like all the time. We have wood heat, so we're ok there too. But water? That's scary. But it came back on a few hours later. I am SO thankful. My mom or Mrs. T never lost power either. I was so happy about that. If they did, I would have had no way to go get them. We are quite snowed in way out here.

Bad dogs and a braided kid head.

If you can see through the horribly awfully dirty nasty door, you can see the 2 horribly nasty very stinky bad dogs. I don't clean the storm doors but maybe when we have company coming over. We have 2 dogs.

They got out of the yard and went out back this afternoon. To the very nasty pond. And went swimming. Or maybe chased some geese. Or went fishing. Whatever they did, THEY STINK! Really bad.

They are now out in the side porch. Waiting for me to figure out what to do. Or spring. Which ever comes first. Because they are not coming back in the house like this. I mean really, they stink. I just went out to feed them and I almost got sick. It's gross.

And look at Bubba. He's like, " Um, Stella made me go. She wanted to go and I didn't. But she made me go back there. Can't you tell she's the bad one?" HA! It's all Bubba. Always is. He jumps the gates and she has to follow him. Just because.

But really, good grief they stink.

And this is Kansas' head. All braided up in little teensy tiny braids. She looks so cute. She already has 1 dread, wrapped in blue yarn. She hates to have her head touched. It was not fun for her. But she really hates to even wash her hair. So I've always said she should have dreads. I think one day she will have her whole head in dreads. Just because. But right now, it's braids.

So school was out today because there was a little snow last night. That's all gone now. But tomorrow we might could get up to 4". So probably no school the rest of the week. I'll leave the braids in til she goes back to school. I'm just afraid this is a bit too much for where she goes. She might get teased.

What do y'all think? I love these pictures of her.

A little progress.

I've got 24 of these Sunburst Granny squares made so far. (I'm using cotton yarn. Love it.) I love them and they are so easy and fast to make. And they're so pretty and colorful. I need colorful right now. Everything seems so black and white right now. Not very happy lately. Just seem to be plodding along, doing what needs to be done. I think, if I didn't have animals to feed, I wouldn't even get up in the mornings. Just blah, blah, blah. ugh. It's not just the weather. There are lots of other things going on that aren't good. I hope when the sun comes out and dries up all the muddy mess and grass starts growing again, maybe things will be better? But I don't know.

Here is some silliness. My youngest daughter Abby and her husband came out in the snow and brought us a bunch of things. Brought Kansas and Chloe some things to do. Hair stuff and make up. This is what they did with some of it. Kansas thinks she's a cat all the time anyway.  I won't put Chloe's picture on here. It's too sad.

It's a lot warmer here today. Husband just said he saw the sun! We're supposed to have some more freezing nights to come, but warmer days. So spring is on the way here!
