Your house looks lovely.
I cannot find the rest of my decor for the outside, so all I got done was to put the little figures around the castle. Our front yard has a little caste and little houses made of stones and concrete. FIL had it made many years ago. It is really cute and ever so unique. I love decorating it.

Here's hoping your days are better. :hugs
FD, you MUST share pics of those little houses!! They sound beautifull!

It was kinda funny..I mean, now that I am warm and dry! LOL If you would have seen the look on my face, you would have wet yourself laughing, I am sure. Soaked I tell ya...soaked to the skin! LOL
Never easy to laugh when you are cold & shivering... Hope Murphy leaves you alone for a while after that day!

Hope tomorrow goes smoothly. I think you paid your dues for quite a while. The way you told the story of your day was funny, so you'll have to forgive me for laughing. :hugs

Justusnak, you have a lovely home!!! Not a bit what I pictured....not to say that I didn't picture you in a lovely home, I was just thinking a little more Victorian, old farm house type. Your home is quite stately! :)

Merry Christmas to you, as well!!! Glad you are feeling better in your soul, hon! :hugs

Thanks everyone....but, sigh...today was not warm and fuzzy! LOL
I had a guy delivering my hay today. He told me..." I will be at your barn at 9 am, be there and be ready, I have other things to get done today" OK, so I went out at 08:30, fed the sheep and goats, opened the 2 big doors, and moved the one last bale of hay I had....I was finished by 08:45. 9 am came and went...no hay guy, 9:30, no hay...9:45...no hay...it was 2 degrees out there...and I was just about to walk to the house for coffee...when he FINALLY came...9:55. I was freezing...chilled to the bones!! After getting all the hay stacked, got the doors pulled shut...I came in to get warm, before tackling the chickensI shivered for 2 hours, in front of the blazeing wood stove! Finally got warm enough to go back out there, and do the poultry pens. Everyones waters were frozen. UGH! Another hour in the cold, busting ice! Once I finished, I came in, drank 2 cups of coffee straight down...it was hot, and warmed my insides....some. Finished hubbys dinner, pork chops, stuffing, and candied carrotts. Got him out the door...and started peeling taters...for canning. I had a 50 pound bag that needed canned!! Its 9:45 pm, and I am done...for tonight. I finished 16 pints, and 6 quarts..and still have about 20 pounds to go. I will try to get them done tomorrow....IF we dont lose power in this ice storm they are calling for. I hope everyone in the path of this storm stays safe, and warm.

Bee, Thanks!!! Its not what I wanted....but, it was the right price..for what we got. LOL Its TOTALLY NOT my style. Hubby loves it. The first time he saw it he said..." we will own that house one day" About 3 yrs later....we were signing papers on it. :/ I wanted a big farm house with a welcoming front porch...one that says...come on over, sit a spell...have some sweet tea. Not this place...but, I am happy to have a home, either way. Besides....Its not the cover that matters...its the warm feeling inside. :)

Let it snow , let it snow, let it snow! Boy are we supposed to be getting " some storm" 4 to 8 inches....and they keep changeing it about every hour. First they said, it will be all ice, then, nope, no ice, all snow...now, we will be getting 4 to 8 inches of snow, with less than 1 inch of ice. Really!???? You know...I dont have to get out in it...have no kids at home..so personally..I say, bring it on! I sent hubby to the store...mistake...to get taters. He came in just beaming...I got taters. I turned to see him carrying a 50 pound bag!!!!! :th Its just the 2 of us! So, I did what most woud do...I canned them!

Since we are haveing this "snow storm" today, I think potato soup is in order! ;) Gonna head out soon and get the animals taken care of, then back to my warm wood stove...and I am staying in ... all day. Maybe I will wrap a few presents up for the Family Christmas party, this Sunday. Here is hopeing we dont lose power! :fl
To all of you out there in this...be safe, and stay warm!!
