Winter Flowers

March 4, 2016August 1, 2018 Arla

A bouquet of tulips in February definitely helps to ward off the typical blahs of mid-winter. I recommend this for every family's table. The benefits outweigh the expense easily. Choosing fresh flowers at our Hayward Wal-mart can take a minute. I think we must get the last of the supply up here and some of… Continue reading Winter Flowers

Winter Blues and Thankyous

February 15, 2016August 1, 2018 Arla

We are not feeling bluesy really. I am just thinking about the inconveniences of sub-zero weather. There are small annoyances that happen only in mid-winter when the temperatures drop. One of those things is static electricity. I walk across the carpet in our bedroom and listen to the snapping. I can feel it grab my… Continue reading Winter Blues and Thankyous

Our Current Snowstorm

Ice-Skating

November 27, 2010August 1, 2018 Arla

I have wonderful memories of ice-skating all my growing up years. We always had a puzzle to work in the evening after we had frozen our toes skating on the creek (pronounced krik) ice. I will never forget the return of feelings in my toes and the resulting pain. It is a wonder we… Continue reading Ice-Skating
