Good Ole Snow Days.

Over the last few days the temperatures have been freezing outside the LC.  We sit huddled around our fabulous fireplace insert in the kitchen.

Toasty warm we are at a balmy 21c  while it looks like this outside:

At -18c the deer run around our yard with wild abandon.

We have had a snow day twice in the last two weeks.  We're gearing up for another one tomorrow or Friday.
This is our house last winter after a heavy snowfall.

Now, snow days are great for kids who want a day off from school.  But for teacher's wives?  Not so much.
Husband:
Make me some tea?  Ten times a day.
Will you make me some toast?  Five times a day.
Can you turn off the radio I'm trying to read.  ONCE a day.
Is there anything good to eat?  Six times a day.
Will you bake something nice?  I usually play deaf for this one.
What's wrong with my computer?  Thirty eleven times a day.
What's for lunch?
What's for supper?
What kind of yummy pie do we have for dessert?  Every.single. day.

Me: Is it bedtime yet?

Business note:  This is my second item put on an Etsy treasury.   www.etsy.com/treasury/4d4087076c396d91ea52057a/

Hilarious!

Sounds like you have a school kid at home!

Hop on a deer and ride off into the wilderness and take your Viewmaster with you in case you get bored.

I love having a fireplace in the kitchen. Bliss!

Having someone underfoot, not so bliss. : )

Being married is like having a small child all life; a child who demands to be treated like a grown up. Can't imagine life without it.
It's quite a compliment that he asks you what's wrong with his computer.
What a wonderful view you have there, and the house seems enormous! No wonder you have find so many treasures at home, Deb.

OMG this cracked me up! I don't think there is a wife on earth that hasn't had a day like this. And if she denies it, she's lying! HA! I just gotta tell ya I love your sense of humor! You're always making me laugh! I really love that poor kitty out the window too. Our poor kitty has gone to kitty heavan now but when she was alive and wanted to come in she'd climb up the screen on the sliding glass doors, about 4 feet above the porch floor and just hang there until someone saw her. Scared a lot of visitors I'll tell ya! Keep up the good work! Carolyn
