The weather outside is frightful!

Sing along with me.

"Oh the weather outside is frightful, but the.....

Wait a minute.....

isn't that a Christmas tune?

What's wrong with this picture?

Isn't it supposed to be frost on the pumpkin?

I think you can see why up north we prefer

to buy our pumpkins and mums from Michael's.

I don't think I'll be outside today, my day off, working on the twig sign

I started....oh, 2 weeks ago.  Poor, poor me.

Don't worry,  I'll suffer in silence inside the house whilst

 drinking coffee and reading blogs. :@

This area is under the roof, so it's sheltered from the snow, but it

looks like we'll soon be exchanging the rakes for shovels!

I hope my silk mums don't freeze. 

If I had Photoshop, I'd crop out the utility meter and wires near our back door for your

viewing pleasure, but alas, I fear it would be much too complicated for me. 

 Do you see my newest find?

 The old screen door, painted in the same shade as our back door was meant for me,

 wouldn't you say?  I painstakingly wound vines from our fence around it to dress it up

 for the season, but the wind took most of them away.  Now that I think about it,

 I would have been wise to anchor them with wire.  Hindsight.

 Oh, well, there's plenty more where they came from. 

 I bought the house numbers from Restoration Hardware about 3 years ago,

but I could never find the right spot for them.  Now they finally have a place to hang out while

diverting your attention away from those sad yellow mums.....I hope.

Do you remember when I said the turquoise

paint on the bicycle would soon fade into a softer color?

I guess I was wrong.

In case I don't get my Halloween post out in time, I hope everybody

has a Merry Christmas Happy Halloween!
