The ice storm did come on Christmas morning.  Not as much as they predicted but enough to do damage.  So far, Praise God, we still have electricity.  As you can tell from one of the pictures, one limb is hanging over the power line.  George will have to work on this after the ice stops.   Christmas dinner did occur.  Lots of good food.  Turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, baked beans, sweet potatoes and homemade rolls.  I wish all the family could have been together to enjoy it.  Oh well, I guess we’ll just have to eat another  big meal next weekend.  Life is tough sometimes.  Today has been spend playing board games, cards, and other fun activities.  I pray your Christmas has been as enjoyable as mine.  Maybe next post, I’ll put something summery and cheerful.  God Bless.

Here’s our wood supply so far.  What do you think?  Enough for winter?  The back goes 7 rows deep.  Lots of work thats for sure.  But some surprises too.  I found 2 little black kittens in the pile we were moving today.  The mommy cat had them hid really well.  They were scared but friendly and of course very cute.  Weather was very nice for wood splitting.  Short sleeve weather.  Tomorrow is a slight chance of rain so I’m glad the wood is in the dry.  I am baking amish friendship bread this evening.  It has been a 10 day process but I think it is going to be worth it.  It smells WONDERFUL.  I can’t wait to taste it.  Hubby didn’t get a deer yet but we did have one donated to us.   Thanks, Eldon!  We’ve had tenderloin and gravy for breakfast two days in a row.  Good stuff.  Well, I’m pretty tired, all that wood is hard work.  God Bless.
