Thanks to our wood stove, my sweetie DH, my FIL and son getting all the firewood in......
Our outside water stove heats our water for our home and provides the heat to both our lil' home and my prim shop! I'm very pleased with how efficient it is !!
During really cold days we put wood in it about twice a day!!
Usually in the morning and about 6:00 p.m and it lasts all night long, waking up to a house that is still warm!
When my two kiddos left out this morning (about 11:00) to do a little Christmas shopping & go to lunch together it was 39 degrees........they just came in and said it was now 29 degrees and falling!!! It is a bitter cold 29 at that!
Schools were let out early all over today and we are in a Winter Storm Advisory through tomorrow!!!!
I just checked one of the forecasts and they are saying 1/2 or more of ice followed by a possible 2-4 inches of snow......oooooooh!
I know that is not a big deal to you folks up North.....but when it happens in the South people tend to freak!! O.k. they don't tend to freak.......they really do! LOL!!
There won't be a loaf of bread or jug of milk left on the grocery store shelf by days end!!
I'm excited!! I hope it snows and snows and snows!! :)
Don't want anybody to have a hard time because of the weather & I sure don't want to lose our electricity......'cause I really like,heat,lights & t.v.!!
But I sure like being inside a cozy warm home with my family, doing some baking with both my young'ns while it's coming on down outside.
Our son said all the horses and cows were standing next to the gate wanting that extra food since the weather has gotten colder........I think they know what's coming......or at least that there's going to be a change in the weather.....
Isn't that neat how the good Lord gives the animals the instinct to prepare for things such as colder and snowy weather???
Thanks for all the kind words and compliments in recent posts about our kitchen cabinets....
I'm really enjoying them being finished....
That pretty red color just makes me smile every time I look at them!
You all may not realize that your beautiful homes and photos are alot of my inspiration!!
Yes, I admit it.... I too like Picket (she's so funny and such a neat person) and along with so many others; am a "copy-cat"...... and a "tweaker"..... :)
I'm even proud of it ! LOL!
How does that saying go?
That imitating (copying) is a form of flattery or actually a compliment? :)
I don't believe in stealing someone's idea and saying it's your own....oh no,no,no.....and even though I can't begin to name you one by one......
I do want to say thank you to all that graciously share your lovely photos and great crafting and decorating ideas with the rest of us!
Keep 'em coming!!
Blessings,

Oh that ice IS a big deal to us around here. It has devasated us this weekend. My poor folks are stil without power. Thankfully I have been able to help them.
I used to love a wood fire - the smell, the crackling sound, and the dancing flames. Unfortunately I can't breath near one anymore. It is one of the few things that sets my asthma off. I miss using our fireplace.
Stay safe and warm in your cozy home with the pretty red kitchen !!
Oh my.... how I love a wood fire.... the smell, the heat it gives off, the look of the flames and the sounds (crackling) of it.
Love it all.
I would take a fireplace or wood-stove but alas... have neither one.
Enjoy yours!!

I miss having a wood stove. We had one in NH, and it was so nice and cozy.
We have a winter advisory too tonight. Although snow removal was fast up in NH, the ice is something no one can deal with. I'm hoping for an all snow event. We're not use to a lot of it here either, but when we do get it, they just don't know how to handle it. A lot of the counties didn't have money for salt this year.
Take care!

Hey Girl! Like you, I don't want any harsh weather to be harmful to anyone or cause hardships, but I want it to snow this year! It has been too long!
And it's weird that its so cold where you are and here it was in the high 60s yesterday. And they say it may get close to 80 by the week's end! UGH! NOT Christmas-like at all!
Stay warm and ahve a great week!
