Snow is Coming

It is suppose to snow tomorrow.  That is the bad news.  Summer has come and gone with astonishing speed.  I want to pout and refuse to acknowledge that it is time for the weather to grow cold and wet.  However, no matter how much I pout Mother Nature just goes about doing her own thing. Dang her! Anybody know her address I would like to have a chat with her, in person? 

Good news, snow this time of year doesn't generally last. In the next few weeks you will find me reporting every kind of weather from hot to cold, from windy to wet, to dry and freezing.  Utah falls and springs are always divine mysteries. 

Good news, I'm sure my dear blog readers have had about enough of my garden stories.  So for the next few months you get a break. Hey keep the cheering down.

Good news in lieu of garden pictures I will be sharing pictures of snow.:) Ummm...why don't I hear cheering? Hello.... 

Come on it is going to be so much fun, instead of pictures of flowers you are going to get to see pictures of angels......




Instead of pictures of tomatoes, green beans, pumpkins you will get to see pictures of snowmen... 



You are a "quiver" with excitement I know you are. (By the way did anybody get that quiver, because it's cold.. oh well I lease entertain myself)


Anyway back to the good news, instead of pictures of green and beautiful plants you will get pictures of snow covered branches.....



and roads that say, "Stay home, drink hot chocolate."

Best of all instead of pictures of Izzy sitting in the grass you will get pictures of Izzy sitting in the snow.....
 

I know, I know but really you must control your excitement. The neighbors may be watching.  Anyway as I prepare to deal with the snow tomorrow I just wanted to get everyone excited for my upcoming post.  Admit it this is much more exciting then the flower pictures.  




Yah, I don't think so either.  

Dang mother nature!!!!

My kids have never been in the snow, isn't that weird! The closest they've been to it is when our neighbors brought some home from Tehachapi, they made a hill with it and they rode my snow board down it. Sad and a little white trash, I know! Looks chilly, are you ready for that?

I love the flower and snow pictures. Question: suppose you lived in zone 9 and could grow flowers pretty much all the time, and suppose your beds were woefully flower-light, what would you grow in such a temperate climate?

Just curious... no real reason I was asking...

I was making breakfast this morning, looked out the window, and it was totally snowing. What is up with that? I am not ready; I feel like it just barely stopped snowing from last winter. Oh well, what do you do? I love the pictures; they make my teeth chatter. By the way, very cool background; I reallly like it.

So, what's up with the bike training? We're suppossed to start out riding for three hours? What's that all about? I'm not sure about this. Are you sure about this?

Our Christmas Letter

Each year I send out a Christmas letter and the one thing that frustrates me more then anything about the letter is that I can not include all the pictures I would like. That and Brent's rule that the letter has to fit on one side of one paper. I have gotten pretty clever with font size and margins to keep this rule. All you that have read this blog know that I am a sucker for pictures. So this year along with mailing out the letters I am going to post the letter with pictures. YAY ! So fun having your own blog to torture people anyway you want. Our Christmas cards were sent out on Monday so here in all it's digital glory is the letter again, this time with pictures. (Beginning of Letter) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope that this letter finds you happy, healthy and enjoying the holiday season. If you are like us, it has been a little bit of a difficult year dealing with increasing prices and a budget that isn't quite stretching to meet every thing you want it to...

Hip Hip Hurray, Tomorrow is PIE Day

Well in a little less then 24 hours I am going to have to reset this counter.  I can hardly believe that it says 30 days.  I have to tell you I never thought I would make it this many days I really thought I would have to reset it at some point in time. It has been a huge motivation for me knowing that you guys are watching the counter.  Also, knowing that even if you didn't catch me in the time allowed you would see that I punked.  That I didn't have the self control, not to eat sugar. Every time I would think of eating a goodie, I would think about reseting the clock.  I would wonder who was online, I would wonder if I would get caught, I would wonder who would catch me.  By the time I got through thinking about all of that I would decide the treat wasn't worth it. Another motivation has been my kids, who have said, "Mom you don't have to reset the counter no one would know."  I wanted them to see that  I could be honest and not do something I shouldn't ...

Halloween and Cars

The Holiday season is officially upon us. The day of Trick or Treats is here. The pumpkins are carved and sitting on the doorstep. The costumes are ready and the kids are excited for the night to begin. If there is anything that makes me feel young it is the holidays. The holidays feel me with excitement, creativity, and hope. Basically, in my opinion there is nothing better than the holidays. Yes, in this particular post I am choosing to ignore the stress that often accompanies the holidays. What stress? Last week was a very busy week. Tuesday night was the pinewood derby.  H. was a little intense when it came to building and constructing his car. He spent weeks researching learning all the tricks and tips. He grew increasingly impatient whenever Brent tried to interfere during the construction phase. The night of the actual competition his mom could see the look of intensity and competition written all over his face. Even as he casually looked over the competiti...
