Snowfall

With snow falling yesterday in Louisiana and Missippi, I thought it appropriate to commemorate the event by starting on the project I had already planned as my Christmas project this year.

rain and Christmas 08

dark

I find these days of early dark and late lightening difficult to deal with.

Here in the sunny south, we are just not used to it.

However, the celestial show right now is amazing.

And I like when the light first starts to come up in the mornings. There is a blue to it that makes me think of snow covered fields.

recycling

Sometimes recycling can be a real pain.

I have a these cute little jars that bruschetta came in and I want to use them for pumpkin butter for Christmas presents. Yes, I know the pb needs to be kept in the friggy.

But the labels are stuck on with some sort of monster glue. I have washed them, boiled them (not energy efficient except that the weather is cold and the boiling adds to the heat in the house. Finally I'm resorting to scrubbing them off with ajax.

Grrrr. I'd give up, except stubborness has set in.
