Silent Sentinels

There must be a full moon somewhere close by. I'm awake.... and nobody else is. Like what's that all about? As I was coming downstairs I happened to look out the window. It's been snowing a lot in the last couple of days and the trees are loaded with snow. Right now the street light, that lights the road out in front of our house, is shining on the trees and it really does look like a scene from a Christmas card. All the trees are white. I thought I would call this blog post Silent Sentinels because that is what the trees look like out there.

There have been some exciting developments. First, we are getting new furniture! Hubby and I sat down last night and had a look at our house and decided that it was time to buy a sofa! I was given a second hand couch last year and you can see the results of the reupholstery job I did here and here and here, but when Mudder and Fadder's couch died on them, just before Christmas, I gave them my new old couch on permanent loan. Since that time we haven't really had the need for a sofa since it was only a few months later that Hubby and I started the "Big R" and the house became a complete disaster zone. But things are starting to look better and so it is time to think about Christmas decorating... which means we need a couch. I went online to our handy dandy website for our local furniture stores and started perusing... we found this.
It will match our nice red floor (har har!) Since we are buying a couch we have decided that we had better move things around... (how do you know I'm on the mend????... I start moving furniture!) We now have the office moved over in the sunroom taking up some of my studio space and we have moved the dining room table into where the office was. I would put some pictures here but my camera's batteries need charging and I can't find the charger. I'll try to get on that later.

In addition to that exciting news, we are losing June the chicken.... I couldn't see her so lonely and so we have a friend who will come and take her to their chicken coop to live among the other chickens and roosters..... I think I've had it with chickens. I can think of much better uses for our chicken coop. Hubby suggested that we use the coop for an outhouse.... I'm thinking that might not be such a bad idea. You can never go wrong with a two holer!

The next exciting news, (well... it is to me) Hubby has lost his boot. The snow has become deep enough that it is time to bring out our winter boots and jackets. Hubby went looking for his and can only find one boot in the heep in the shed. He has gone through pretty much everything and can't find the second of his pair. I'm thinking it might be time to buy him a new pair anyway. He has managed to clean up a huge pile of junk in the shed. He will take the pile to the dump but meanwhile where is his boot? I know, just know, that if I buy him new ones he will find the old one the day after. It's Murphy's law you know.

Ok.... I'm getting cold and it is almost 5 a.m. and I'm starting to yawn. I think I've pretty much covered everything anyway so ta ta, I'm off back to bed to warm up and catch a few last zzzzzzzz.
