It's Hello, How are you.....Good Morning is not really whats happening here right now. It's 12AM here and I'm off to dreamland, as posting in the regular daytime will not be probable this week. We have a list of things starting at 8AM away from home. The breakfast out sounds the best, and the worst will be the depressing tax appointment. Hoping to somehow squeeze in a visit to an Antique Shop and the Chocolate shop!!!! I'll even buy.
Oh Ms.Julia at the
STAMPING GROUND is host to #247 of What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday. And she has all the info on her blog if you are new to this adventure.
My desk since last week has had a variety of things happening
The Sympathy card I was making, looks like none of the items I had gathered together. The gentleman was a Military man and I so thought this was perfect paper. The eagle flying high and the colors.
Click the photo to see a larger view....bits of a baby card, Easter stamps, tape (hoping temps rise so my glue can be mailed) and my trusty glasses.
This is the remains of Valentine supplies to organize and stash....seems the sofa takes the brunt of my picking up and placing things here, then there, and no where.
This is a photo of the storm Thursday, 8 inches of white stuff. Roads were covered with ice from the rain that proceeded the heavy wet snow. 4 Foot drifts all about our yard and lane. We were lucky, electricity was only out 4 hrs during the night. Some lost power for most of Friday because of ice and 60 mph winds.
Now our forecast is -24 degrees with wind chill, and more snow Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Many people are having frozen pipes, as it has been so cold for so long the frost is so deep. So no water for them til the thaw. I' m thankful we have had no real problems from all this so far.
I will be around to visit a little late this week, but looks like I should have time if this storm comes about.
So thanks for stopping by, and I hope you are having Sunshine and Flowers popping up.

Goodness me, that looks cold...it's that pink light you get in the sky after a lot of snow has fallen. Beautiful but brrrrrr!
I love that sympathy card you made, so poignant for someone who was in the Forces. I'm sure it'll be well received.
Hugs, LLJ 43 xx
I'm thinking it would be very difficult to have frozen pipes on a farm for sure. Hoping you do not encounter this problem. We have turned cold here again. We were in the 50's and this day we will only be in the 30's. Winter isn't finished with us yet. I really like your card. Sympathy cards are a necessity like it or not!
A stunning card and I agree, perfect for a military man Sylvia. Roll on Spring - we have a bright sunny day here for a change - it's so lovely. x Jo
good grief, can't imagine those temperatures! the sympathy card looks perfect. Helen 15
We are having some sunshine and snowdrops and crocuses popping up Sylvia, I really hope the thaw sets in soon! Meanwhile, glad to see that however much indoor time you're spending, the couch still gets to be the stash collecting point!
I love the snow when we go skiing in France but I can't imagine what it must be like living with it like that.
Here in Lincoln we are two weeks in advance and the bulbs are coming up. Hope your weather gets better soon, Angela x 68
This has been some kind of winter, huh??? And I know, if it's been bad for us, it's been triple bad for you! We're making it through, though, aren't we??? A day closer to spring than we were yesterday!;) I'm sure that beautiful sympathy card will be treasured, Sylvia...those papers were such a nice idea! I owe you a big 'thank you', my friend...you're so very thoughtful!!! You made my day back on the 20th and I so appreciate it! I do hope there was time for both antiques AND chocolate...you deserve it!
Bbbrrrr I'll shiver for you then share my sunshine and warmth as soon as they come back. ;) Fog yesterday and heavy rain today (Wed) maybe tomorrow, sunshine. Beautiful card. Take care on your outings. Hugs and Happy WOYWW! Nan G #92
Your work space looks like mine right at the moment, oh well, just part of all the fun.
Boy, all of this cold weather has to take a hike soon, so tired of it. It is cold again here in upstate Vermont, will be around zero next several days.
I wanted to thank you for stopping by my Easter/spring tag post. It is always great to have you.
Have a great rest of the week.
Hugs
Michele
Hi Sylvia,
I hope your appointment with the tax man went well.... as for me, I'm paying just a bit so it worked out well. (Although I'd rather get a little bit back instead.)
I really wish we would get some of the snow that has hit your area. We are bone dry and in desperate need of moisture - any kind.
Your card is beautiful. Very fitting for a military man.
Happy belated WOYWW
