Walking in a Winter Wonderland

The street looks a lot more benign than it really is. It is Monday and Jonathan and I are locked up at home. After much deliberation this morning we decided to not go into work today...unprecedented thing for Jonathan...due to the ice storm we had last night. You could literally slip and fall on our grass right now...it is totally frozen over. Our poor little tree is almost horizontal. We hope it survives!

Our front garden is above and some fescue/rye that we planted is below.

You can see each individual blade of grass encased in ice. It is nuts!

I worked a little from home today, but mostly we are just bumming around. I worked some on my next sewing project and we watched a James Bond...Thunderball.

We played disc golf at Mitch Park in Edmond. It was really fun and Jonathan and I are planning on doing it again soon.

We also went out to Ted's Escondido. GOOD tex-mex food! Here is a picture of us after dinner...full!

Yum! Thanksgiving was fun this year. We had turkey, green bean casserole, mashed sweet potatoes, homemade stuffing, and pumpkin pie.

Oh yeah, and cranberry sauce, roasted carrots and home made bread (from Amanda's little bread maker we bought from her.

Matthew is thinking of where to put the potatoes. How bout on my plate?...they were SO good!

Here we are playing cards. It is so much fun to play cards with those two! Boo yeah!

We went out to eat at Lucille's in Mulhall. It snowed so hard that on the way home it looked like we were driving into a broomstick. It was cool....no real snow accumulation as far south as Guthrie, though.

Before Thanksgiving I said I was working on something I couldn't take a picture of because it was for one of our readers. Well, here it is. Matthew, Jonathan's brother, and Krista, his girlfriend, came down to visit us over Thanksgiving. We asked him if he wanted to open his Christmas gift a little early. I had made him a dual-sided fleece "quilt". It is two pieces of fleece with cotton batting in between. It is quilted and bound. It was a fun little project and pretty easy. I will never be sad I took a quilting class! Jonathan is getting a Dallas Cowboys one for Christmas. According to him and Krista it was very warm to sit on the couch under. Matthew is a Cubs fan, obviously.
