Where's the snow?

Scratchy started getting his yucky nose back.   Anitbiotics are not m maintaince drug.   So, I have started giving him 1/2 mL  of childrens benedryl every morning.   He really doesn't like it, but after given time he does better breathing.  It is the last option I have.


Waiting for the big storm to hit, we batten down and prepare for a long few days.  Now I see where it may miss us completely.   That is o.k. with me.  I hate driving Miss Becky back and forth to work with the snow coming down so hard.


When I did take her to dance Tuesday night, I did window shopping at Lowes.  Lots of good ideas!  I came home with a $2 can of "oops" paint.   I ended up painting under our wood stove because it really looked bad.   I then took some of my craft paint and did some free lancing.  Then I sealed it with clear acrylic so that it will withstand some beating for now.


Here is a picture after I finished just an hour. Eek!  Looks like I need to paint the stove again too.  It has had its workout this winter!



I also have been reviewing  and studying American History with Jessalyn.  Using at least 3 different resources has been really helpful.   She and I both are getting more out of it.  Yesterday we went through all the amendments,  to day we worked our way through to the War of 1812.   Did a little history of our Lake Erie, too!

I agree we loaded up the porch with wood for the long weekend too. I thought we would have enough wood since the wood shed was filled to the top, but nooooo we just got a load of wood from Jeff. Nice hard wood and will get one more load. This has been too long and cold, I sit at night wrapped in a blanket and am still cold. Seeps into me at chore time and never leaves. I love your art work under the stove. But don't paint the stove yet I think we will be burning well into May.
