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

February 29, 2012August 1, 2018 Arla

We now have 14 inches of new snow. I guess we won't be having a picnic for a day or two. The benches and the fireplace table are both quite snowed under. The table looks like a giant marshmallow.

Sugar on Snow Snowstorm

February 27, 2012August 1, 2018 Arla

Here's Lake Superior in one of its many moods. We had a snowstorm that kept some of us at home all day Sunday instead of going to church while others of our church group fled home to Wiscsonsin. Still others were stranded at the rec center where we were to meet for church and fellowship… Continue reading Sugar on Snow 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

The Winter Blues

February 11, 2010August 1, 2018 Arla

Yes, the winter blues are here!  We are having to pull along steadily with more effort.  Brad has been faithfully building fire over a huge heap of ash build-up which makes stoking a chore. The house is chilly well into the morning.  We are inclined to complain. We take turns checking the thermostat. "Did somebody… Continue reading The Winter Blues

The Winter Blahs

February 3, 2010August 1, 2018 Arla

We all have them, don't we? It's that time of year when suddenly we realize that it's been cold for a long time.  We've been making fires, hauling wood, and wearing sweaters indoors for months now.  The sad snow has become definite strata.  Any new snow looks like frosting on a marble cake and there's… Continue reading The Winter Blahs

Sunday Morning Musings

January 24, 2010August 1, 2018 Arla

We woke up to snow falling this morning. It's a wet, heavy snow...the kind that cause  half-dead overweighted branches to come crashing down startling us out of our hypnosis watching the stuff falling past our windows.  The few adventurous cars go by with a muffled sloshing.  It's a perfect day for the quiet turning of… Continue reading Sunday Morning Musings
