My favourite weather!

Lo and behold last Monday was a snow day for schools but not for our work. The snow arrived around lunch time probably around 10cm but it was quickly followed by freezing rain which made driving scary. Unfortunately the truck decided that it would be a great time to break down, the alternator went on it. We borrowed Rich's car to get home and the next day David was laid on his back in a snow drift fixing it!

Two weeks before Christmas David decided to take down a wall in my kitchen! The only surprise there is it wasn't Christmas Eve like usual! Before the wall can be knock through he's removing a cupboard. This will mean the hot air from the wood stove in the kitchen can circulate through more of the house meaning our oil fired heating won't come on very often (we hope). It will also make a huge dining kitchen and we'll actually use the lounge attached to the kitchen instead of it being a walk through and dumping ground.

Harriet sang in the school choir last week to raise money for Christmas Mommies, a local charity which helps families on low incomes.

Today is a real snow day, even I'm off (sadly not David though). It started snowing yesterday and is predicted to finish tomorrow. So far we have about a foot though it's difficult to measure as it's so windy it's drifting in some places and only a few inches in other. This means we can get lots of jobs done and some of the baking for Christmas before the mad rush of this weekend when we're killing turkeys and geese and attending a wedding! (not at the same time)
