I know it's a little early to be posting Carl's specials, but I just couldn't keep this to myself.



He's calling it the diet killer bloody Mary.

I'll have one waiting on you Snowflake!!!

Headed to the Pines a little early, Carl says he has something to show me. I'm not sure how scared I should be.

He's supposed to be making me a 'special' blend tonight to help me get over this winter virus.

Merry Wednesday! Happy Pines Day!

What a morning!!! Funny story ... and it's okay to laugh so go ahead.

Early this morning some random guy turns up with a chainsaw about to cut down the tree in my front garden. The one that houses the Christmas robin that visits every year. I was dumbstruck as to what was happening at first. I ran out into the rain, still in my pajamas and fell over into the garden which is a muddy pool these days due to the heavy rains. The guy informed me that he was here to cut the tree down on the request of the owner who claims it is on their property.

After much arguing and me throwing myself in front of the tree (wet,covered in mud, twigs in hair) the guy makes a phone call only to discover he has the WRONG tree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is meant o be doing the neighbour's tree two houses away!

He seemed scared at that point and made a very quick exit.

Can you imagine!!!!!!!!!!! I shudder to think what could have happened! I would have been devastated!!

Here is a photo of the robin. It's not a very clear shot but hopefully you can see him. He spends ages near the window looking in at us. He comes every year around mid autumn. He has become one of our signs that Christmas is coming.

I am glad you were able to save the tree before it was too late. You must have been quite the sight covered in mud and twigs.

Good morning, friends~
Merry Pines Day!
We have snow coming this afternoon, and it sounds like it could continue through Saturday.
My car appointment went extremely well last night! They didn't hear the noise I've been hearing, and they checked my brakes thoroughly. They're still looking decent, so they gave me a complimentary car wash, and sent me on my way. No charge on the diagnostics, either. Luck was actually on my side last night =]
Wishing you all a safe, cozy, and blessed day!

It must've melted along the way!!
It hasn't started here, yet, but when it does I'll pack some up & try again!

Sad but enjoy these 3 days with them!

I will, if we get are large snowstorm after the 8th, I will turn them back on so I can get some pictures of the lights in the snow.
