In a mad moment on a sleepless night (at around 3.00 a.m.), I ordered these.
The lady who makes them had a going-out-of-business sale, and they arrived in the mail a few days ago.
They were for pierced ears (my ears aren't), but I remembered I had converters in a box somewhere, along with a pair of small needle-nosed pliers. I found them and got to work, getting rid of the wires and attaching the converters. They are prettier than the photo shows, but it will give you an idea and this old girl still loves her dangly earrings, says I smiling.
Hubs found it impossible to clear the snow off the driveway as there is a thick sheet of ice on top. There will be no melting of snow this week as it's going to remain bitter for the next week at least, and supposedly more snow next Saturday. We have a steep driveway and there will be no getting out of here for several days. Fortunately, we stocked up beforehand.
The sun is shining outside and Sophie Squirrel is doing okay, though she's a wee bit cold!
The Kissing Bunnies, as you well know, have their love to keep them warm.
I couldn't help put in a word. Son and daughter-in-law sent these.
My grateful thanks to the person who plowed our road early this morning, and for that matter to all who go out in this weather to take care of us and keep us safe. Bless your hearts, you deserve our never-ending gratitude. When we eventually can dig our way down to the road, we'll be ready to get out of here I'm sure.
What did we do on our snow-bound day? We read a lot, I put this together and this afternoon we made our dinner, Creamy Beef with Butterfly Pasta. It was very good and we added a veggie salad on the side. I will share it next Monday.
Take good care of yourselves out there and I hope all is well where you are. Stay safe and warm.
For our international friends, to translate the words on the 5th photo down.
Chionophile.
A person who loves, enjoys or thrives in the snow and cold weather is called a chionophile. From Greek, this term refers to someone who finds joy and peace during winter, particularly when the landscape is covered in snow.
Pronunciation: kye-ON-uh-file.
