Snowy Maine

Here is the view from my kitchen window this evening :

It's been below -4 most of the day here. I forget old houses and their frosty....windows...

Nights like these I truly wish we had an old fashioned wood stove!!!!!
Stay warm and safe my friends <3

Groundhog Day

For those of us in New England and even the Great Lakes region we had to laugh and all the polls asking what we thought Mr. Phil's prediction will be.
We're in for a Nor Easter so we knew it was 6 more weeks of winter. It's still fun to see. :)
December and most of January we had more rain. But now winter has hit us full force here in Maine!!! Time for some coffee and maybe some homemade muffins.
I'm thankful in a way for the snow as hubby has lots of work!
Stay safe and warm :)

New Year 2015

Hello friends and family. We had snow today after our very green Christmas here in Maine.
Here are my youngest 2 boys playing outside today.

I signed up for backyard chickens as I am doing some research now on a coop and what types of chickens to get. Due to our town ordinance we are only allowed 6 hens and they have to be in an enclosed coop. Which after seeing pics that is what I wanted to have anyway.  

I need to call and find out what I can have for barnyard "pets" as they are deemed here. I know with my zone we are in some of the restrictions do not apply but better safe than sorry!!

Hubby and I put up some old window picture frames yesterday. I will post pics soon of them!! Our home is getting cozier!

Our next project will be putting in our sink and faucet in the kitchen. Not sure when we are doing that but it should be in the next couple of months.

Thoughts of our garden are in the plans too!!

New Year, new hobbies, dreams slow becoming a reality!!
