THIS n THAT

THIS continues to thrill me. It was about -8* THAT is kinda cold. I love the beaded effect of the frost on the window. THIS sweet heart is one of my nieces who came over for a crocheting lesson. I'm sure I've mentioned how much I love to do handwork with kids, THAT is something that brings great joy to my heart. I can't get enough of THIS...by now you've guessed THAT!

THIS is the decorations from a Valentines Dinner that Jon and I went to at our Church. THAT AmAzING cake was made by my sister in law Kaye!! While there I met up with my very dear friend Barb who I've mentioned before, we exchanged birthday gifts, THIS-click here-its a must see, was one of the things that she gifted me...I love THAT lady.

THIS is frost on Willy's window at -15* ...THAT's cold!!

Jack was here...

...and here......here...

...here again...
...here also!

Old windows make the prettiest frost.
The best windows for frost in our old home are the upstairs outside storm windows. The combination windows don't make nice frost, its the storms that Jon puts on every fall and takes off every spring that really put on a show when the thermometer takes a dive. A & W's bedrooms are the best frost viewing rooms. When I rattle their cages for school on frosty morns I check out the frost on the windows. My favorite kind is when it looks like feathers with beads down the shaft and fills up the entire window. I will be sure to keep you posted if Jack Frost's anything of exceptional beauty! I do love winter!!

Frosting

I have been experiencing technical difficulty...figuratively and literally. Figuratively~back injury issues and I don't like living with restrictions. Literally~the shop vac gave up(not that I am up to utilizing it), and my camera is starting to hiccup as well as my computer. No need to call...

I'm not wallowing in the woe is me. Its just life, (comedian Mark Lorwy) life more abundant!

In the mean time...I love, lOvE, LoVe,LOVE winter. So a day like we have had this week is the frosting of life, no cake needed here, besides cake was invented to hold up the frosting. Click on each picture to get a close up.
