Finding it difficult to dig in the Frozen Ground! |
It was ironic that the soil was so rock-hard frozen that they literally could not get the dig into it. They tried ( and kinda failed) to smooth out the mounds of dirt still adorning the landscape. All of it was set up more solidly than the concrete they poured three days ago!
IKEA furniture? When did we order this? |
Cheryl did not run today...choosing instead to focus our energies on catching up a few stockings. It was terribly cold today and she needed a day off anyway. What better time to divert that extra energy and time to the stocking shop!
We arrived home to see that IKEA furniture had been delivered. It was a good thing the driveway was finished, or else the poor guy would have had to lug all that junk down the 1/4 mile of driveway...In the COLD!
My button collection....replenished! |
And then on to stockings. 40 total today! I forgot we did 36 yesterday. 40 seems a lot like 36...but it is currently 10:15 P.M. and Cheryl is still packing things up. And we did not run today....so I'm not sure if the time is the same.
Hiro, the "Unwilling" Shop Cat! |
He's trying to go outside, not inspecting. |
He looks so bored....And not very helpful. |
So another mountain of stockings for us....and now we are down to only 49 open orders! However, many of those orders are of 4 stockings.... so that might still be a serious effort. We shall see.
And to Celebrate our achievement? The Calling IPA from Boulevard Brewing Co. I really like their Wheat Beer and I have been enjoying these special season limited releases. I have yet to try the sour ale ( probably will not.) and their special Dark beer. But who knows. We have not been in the spirits section in a while. And with Wisconsin beer on the Horizon, it is possible I might miss out on any new seasonal beers. But we shall see how it goes.
Hope everyone is staying warm Lots to blog about at the moment....and A motivated, unemployed writer at the ready. It makes for longer blog posts, I guess. Thanks for reading and stopping in.
