Christmas Countdown - 2016

[snowflake22]

Good Morning, Friends.

Moving on through the weekend and further into April.
(Can we really be in the fourth month of the year, already? Seems like just yesterday Santa was on his throne in Crabtree Valley Mall talking to the kids!)

This is surprising, too:
Days to the Season: 224
Days to Christmas Day: 266

But even more surprising is the nearness of our next TWO Milestones, the 1/3 Christmas Day mark and the 200-day Season Window, both barely over three weeks away now.
Wowzers!


A bit more rain yesterday morning, then clear and sunny for the remainder of the day with moderate temps and little wind.
Should be another nice one today although we have started it off rather chilly at 46 degrees.


Have a Super Sunday, Everyone.
I will -- the UNC Tar Heels are in the championship game tomorrow!

Morning, Crown!!
Thanks
Hope you have a wonderful day!

Happy Sunday!! Woke up to 8 inches of snow in the driveway!!!

That's too much snow for April. I have to clean my car off but we just got a little snow.

 

[Edge612]

Good morning and Happy Sunday!
Woke up to snow showers and very high winds. Our lights have been flickering all morning, hope we don't lose power.
I have to head out soon, I have an appointment. I saw my neurologist last week for my chronic headaches/migraines and he's sending me for a test. The radiologist had weekend hours so I thought it would be easier for me to sneak out of here on a Sunday morning than a week day. I'm kind of anxious about the results but hopefully everything will be alright.
Not too much else planned. We need a few things from Home Depot, I might take a ride there with my husband this afternoon if I feel up to it. That's about it for me.
I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!

Good luck with the tests HMG!

As much as I love snow in December, 8 inches at this time of year would depress me. Hope you are taking it in stride.

If precipitations were in the forecast, we'd be getting snow today as it's -14°C (7°F) right now with the wind. But they announce sun and cold temperatures for the next few days.

I'm about to make oatmeal with maple syrup for breakfast. Love warm oatmeal when it's cold outside. Gets me going for the day. Everyone have a great Sunday!

Yeah December snow is the best...April snow is a sick joke.

Good morning, friends. Look forward to a warm day outside after church. Hope y'all have a good one!

Have a great Sunday coach!

Thanks Crown! I can't believe we're in the 4th month of the year already either!

Good Sunday Morning MMC! Happy Weekend Part 2! Hope you're all having a nice one so far. I'm running around today like usual. This evening we are going to my Uncle's to watch the last episode of The Walking Dead and having a little party for it. The next time the show returns...believe it or not will be in October. Imagining that is pretty exciting for a BERS fan such as myself. I look forward to going there though and having a great time. Not dreading the coming week much because it won't be as crazy as last week was and I am off on Friday so a 4 day week for me.
Hope you all have a great SUNDAY!

Thinking of you folks in Ohio who got plastered with big winds and snow and damage ... I hope that weather system is out of your way and lets spring come through.

As advertised, we got a couple inches of snow last night and are expecting high winds this afternoon (not on Ohio's level, though). Now they're telling us to expect 2 to 5 inches more snow tomorrow afternoon into tomorrow night! Enough already! Mr. has to run a film show tomorrow night and can't cancel it, because it's been advertised in the newspaper. So I'll worry about him navigating snowy roads tomorrow. I'll worry about me navigating snowy roads on the way home from work, too. It's to be colder today and tomorrow, so they're telling us the snow will stick to the roads more than last night's snow. Is Mother Nature trying to fill a quota or something?

Radar says the snow has passed until 5pm. The. We have a storm warning until 2 pm Monday. I refuse to shovel..plus I still have a aching back going on 2 weeks now.

It must be, because it's been horrible here too. High winds, snow, just doesn't quit.

Stay safe!!

Good Morning all my Christmas loving friends !

We got dug out from yesterdays storm, got about 5 inches of snow. Another storm is on the way and we are expecting 5 to 7 inches of snow with this one. Are we sure it is April ?
Right now the sun is out and it looks lovely and I have a bunch of Christmas songs running through my brain.

Now I am going to play some games with my family so you all enjoy your Sunday !

 

[Edge612]

I think everyone will agree with this statement to Mother Nature: Enough with the Cold, Wind and Snow. It's APRIL!

Good evening, MMC!

Hope you're all having a wonderful Saturday!


We had an excellent afternoon, making picks on our new house, and being able to walk through our home for the first time!
Then then they sent us over to my favorite garden center in town to pick out our landscaping. So fun!!!
For our front yard tree choice, we picked and autumn Maple-gorgeous! Easy choice

This week, we need to pick out our lighting & plumbing fixtures, and our fireplace stone.

We just order takeout, and are going to settle in and have dinner and watch a movie.

Have a blessed night!

Maples are my favourite trees. They're so pretty and sturdy. The most greenery we can get here in our appartment is planting flowers in pots on our balcony in May. They usually last through most of the Summer. That must have been fun walking through your future home. It's one thing to see it on paper but to be inside and getting a feel for the rooms must be great.

Enjoy your evening and The Walking Dead season finale. We used to watch it at the beginning, but hubby, who loved the books, gets annoyed anytime a movie or tv show doesn't follow the book exactly, so we stopped watching because I got annoyed at him being annoyed.
