!It’s Snowing!
And starting to stick at 36.5 degrees 😉
Apron from Martha in Mexico
Martha Molina sent me an apron from Mexico. It is made from an oil cloth that is used for table cloths. I’m standing beside the old cook stove that came with the homestead. Although we really like it, it is not airtight and has a very small wood box. We will soon be replacing it with an airtight cookstove that we will be able to bake in. It will also have a huge fire-box that will take large pieces of wood and hold a fire all night.
Standing with me is Cuca and Señor Poco.
The floor shows where we tried to pull up the old linoleum. After realizing what a difficult (if not impossible) and smelly job it would be (having to heat/burn the linoleum to pull it up), we have given up on removing it. Instead, we have decided to put a new floor down, using 2nds of maple flooring.
Under the apron, I’m wearing the new denim dress I bought with Joy at the Salvation Army a couple days ago. (on sale for 99¢ 😉

Snowed in Again-
We appear to be snowed in for the second time this winter. Carl was in Mexico and missed the first snow storm in late November, 06. Although we only have 3-4 inches of snow this time, (rather than the 16″ after Thanksgiving), an Artic cold front is suppose to come thru tonight that will turn all the roads to icy messes. Assuming this happens, we won’t be going out till it warms up, which at the moment is rumored to be at least a week away.
Carl was out with his camera as it was getting light this morning.
