Snow Storm...

It hit fast and hard bringing freezing temperatures that brought snow to play in and making our roads an ice rink! The I-5 became a 5+ hour home to miles of drivers just trying to get home from work. Things were still at a stand still at 11:00 pm. What a nightmare! 

Here's some pics of around the house. I love the snow, it's even better when ya don't have to go anywhere!

Bird bath is frozen inches deep.

So pretty when the sun is shining but it's still so bone chilling cold out!

This little tub sits just outside our back door.

SNOWY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN!!!!!

Last of the Apples...

After several batches of sauce, pies, crisps, bread and muffins, I finally finished up the last of the apples into more sauce. These posted here are reserved for more muffins for the freezer.  They came from Eastern Washington where my girlfriends folks live. The Macintosh were a bit small but had great flavor this year.
Since they were small I decided to just core them, cut into quarters and use "Grandma's" strainer. It came out smooth and yummy! I LOVE the fragrance of cooking apples!

It's hard to see but mid-summer we installed a vintage farm sink ($200.00 @ a yard sale). It has double drain boards, one on each side. I'll take some pics of the vintage items in the house a bit later including the Youngstown metal cabinets that were installed in the 50's, the house was built in 1926.
We have been working mostly on landscaping but did a light bathroom remodel just after moving in and a floor and paint remodel in the downstairs bedroom a year ago.
