I know, I know... I'm posting early in the day. Freaking miracle, right? LOL
Today my dad asked me to plug in the heater we have attached to the tractor to help it start so that we can push snow. So, when I headed out to the shed to plug in the extension cord, I found this:
The tractor covered in snow! I thought it was funny that the machine we will use to push snow is covered in a nice layer of snow. We got around 8 inches of snow, but at least 6 this last snow fall. There is plenty of snow everywhere, if you like that sort of thing. I happen to not like it, but don't mind it too terribly much at the moment as the sun is shining and it's actually barable outside if I dress appropriately for the weather. (long parka, hat, gloves, scarves, boots up to my knees) Enjoy the weather where you are. I know I am. *smirk*
Today, I definitely procrastinated on taking my picture. It was a lazy day. I slept in late, hung out in the afternoon and went to work at 4 for just a couple of hours. Then dinner and more being lazy. It's hard to be motivated to do something when it's snowing outside, there is snow half-way to your knees and it's freezing cold. So, I took a picture of the sock monkey my cousin Jack made for my Dad for Christmas. I love this little guy. He's so cute!
Hopefully, the roads will be better tomorrow and I can go for a drive and take some more pretty winter pictures. I heard the cows had snow covering them when they were laying down today and looked like marshmallows. Might have to go check it out tomorrow! Until then...
Well, today... I felt a little... kitschy? Is that the word... maybe. Maybe it doesn't exactly describe this cute little cardinal, but well, he's cute. He just sits on his swing, laughing on our front porch. My high school's mascot is a cardinal. (Class of 2006... Go Cards!... and all that. lol) So, she picked up this cardinal from somewhere or someone gave it to her... Not sure which. But it's cute. Enjoy!
Outdoor wood burning furnace. Here is a link that explains how it works.
I tried taking various other artsy shots, but they didn't turn out well. I let the sun go down too far and the natural light was too low for them. Maybe tomorrow... Too tired to post more. I'll keep trying on the witty story & commentary...
Yesterday, I had a hard time figuring out what to take a picture of. I didn't really go anywhere or do anything... Today, I had a 3 hour drive as part of my day. Close to my parents' home is the small town of Oxford Junction. It's similar to most other small town, except, when you drive in it's downtown... it isn't exactly dead. It's not thriving but there are a fair amount of businesses for how small it is. A few bars, a restaurant, a bank, a city hall... and just on the outside, in a smaller community that is pretty much connected, is Oxford Mills, where this Victorian beauty sits.
I have admired this house for years... adored it, saw it slowly fade to the hand of time. Someday, I want to own a house like this. I want to mix modern with Victorian and decorate the inside. I want to someday, save an old house from demolition and fix the structure into grand and shining, something that someone else can drive by and say... I want to own one. Just like that...
My dog Waffles is the best friend a girl could ask for. And, yes, I am perfectly aware how cliche that statement is. She is cute, perky, happy, and follows me around like I am a divine idol. It's nice to be loved and adored, no matter what I do. She wants my approval and attention... needs it, it seems, to survive. Look at her! How can you not love that face?
Oh boy... Day 2. What a day! Day 2 is a big day in my life. Today is the day #1 (or W) and I bought my engagement ring! We went shopping at Jordan Creek Mall and specifically Jared. Yes, we went to Jared!
After a few hours, a few checks, a couple bottles of water, and a slight headache... I now have a gorgeous ring!
I know the first 2 entries were pretty short, but hopefully, as the year goes on... I can take more time and create more elaborate, witty, and interesting stories about my photos. So, until tomorrow...
