Mother Nature Is Mad

I think those of us who live on the East Boulder have done something to make Mother Nature mad!!! It snowed hard last night and we woke to a new 10 inches of snow and minus 10 degrees. It did "warm" up to about 15 degrees today but tonight it is all ready below zero again!

I managed to clean our house this morning, it really needed it. Did the Monday laundry--sheets and towels. Michael was slow to get started today, too--the cold just depletes your motivation! I cooked a good lunch, shrimp scampi with pasta and made homemade bread.

After lunch I headed into town to my friend Barb's. Barb quilts and has rented my longarm machine but she also is a very talented cardmaker and representative for the card making supply company "Stampin Up." About once a month we gather at her house and she teaches us a new technique. A few weeks ago, Barb was diagnosed with breast cancer. This past week she got a very good pathology report and will undergo radiation but no chemo. The party today was part Stampin Up and part celebration of her good report. We learned to make gift tags for Christmas presents. My creativity was not the best today, I think the cold weather took it but I did get some tags made.

When I got home Michael had just come in the house from the garage to one upset little dog--someone left her all alone the whole afternoon. She destroyed the wrapping paper on one of the Christmas presents under the tree and when I went downstairs to the quilt studio--Emmi had been in the trash can and there is paper everywhere! Poor little puppy!

Tomorrow we are off to Billings with a list a mile long. Hope the roads aren't too bad!
