Good Morning, Mid-Week 'Pines Attenders.

Yes, Folks. It's 'Pines Day one again.
And with it come today's numbers, delivered to your computer with an MMC smile:
Days to the Season: 298
Days to Christmas Day: 340

Well, after the exhilaration of reaching the 300-day Season Milestone and the commencement of a 200's count, is it too soon to discuss Milestone Marker number two?
<< Never, Crown! >>
OK, then. Let's consult our handy post number 1 chart.

Hmmm......... It seems to indicate that our next marker is set to arrive on February 12.
And.......believe it or not.......it's the ONE QUARTER MARK to the Season.
Well say, now. That's less than a month away. 23 days, to be exact. Three weeks from the day after tomorrow!
Wow. Nearly a quarter of the way back to the Christmas Season already.
I may swoon!!


Nice (well, not so nice) and cold here all day yesterday and the same will be the case today.
We have commenced at 23 degrees here this morning with the chance of some light snow late today.


Have a Wonderful Wednesday, and I hope to see you all at the 'Pines tonight.
For some reason, I have an extra strong hankering for a fired twinkie this time!
(I swear that camel must be putting something in those twinkies to make them addictive.)

Good morning MMC! Happy Hump/Pines Day!!!! We have SNOW this morning!!!! Not enough to make the roads terrible, but they were covered with a dusting. Unfortunately I don't think it's going to last long....it started while it was dark & will probably be over soon, so I won't get to watch it much! Bummer! Ah well - it's still pretty & refreshing! Makes the world new again!
Everyone, enjoy your Pines/Hump Day!!!

Merry Wednesday,
It is very mild today at 2C and it feels like autumn. It's a beautiful dry morning with grey skies and crisp cold.

I will be catching up with some work today as well as some house chores in between the school and nursery run.

I could not wake up this morning even though I went to bed fairly early. Hope the rest of you wake up rested and ready for another day!

Good morning Sam, Merry Pines Day!
I did not want to get out of bed this morning either. Hope work and your chores go well!
What a lovely spot, see you tonight!
Have a great day!
I hope work and your chores go well!

Love to see this

It's going to be a FUN night at the pines!!!

 

[Holiday]

Thank you, Holiday! It was a very rude awakening, but at least it was jazz music which I find far easier to get up to than every other type of music except for Christmas. I am having a very good day, thank you! Hope you are having an even better one!! Give Miss Gracie a hug from me!! (((HUGS)))

Will do! Miss Gracie goes to the groomer today. She's excited. Hugs back to you & Palmer!!! Hope you got some sleep last night with merry dreams!

 

[Holiday]

Thanks!
Yep, the basement was optional to finish. It will be our large family room, we are adding a stone fireplace, utility room, full bathroom, and 3rd bedroom =]

Wow! Sounds like a beautiful basement!!!! You will love it!! More room for Christmas (and fall) decorations!!!

 

[Holiday]

Its Goodnight from me christmas friends....Time to watch a movie...Ive reached 4000 posts tonite Wooo-Hooo...See you all tomorrow

Congrats on 4000 posts!

I'm jealous, too!
(Add to winter storm shopping list: Yarn. I'm liable to run out of the color I need to keep working on my current afghan this weekend! I've been buying it a couple skeins at a time.)

Yarn is way more important than bread & milk!!! I worked on my afghan awhile last night!

 

[HomemakinGirl]

I've had a headache for a couple of days now, it's more annoying than anything. I should make an appointment to see my chiropractor. Other than that, I'm feeling much better. Thanks for asking!

Hope you have a lovely day, too!

Sorry to hear about your headache, I feel for you. Hope you get relief very soon. ♥
