Weather Warning!

While I was doing some chores a few days ago, I glanced out the window.....

............ and saw Poppa outside with his shovel.  Yes....we got even more snow.  Because of some recent health issues that Poppa had - Squeegie and Taffy were keeping an eye on him.  Earlier....

.......... he had the snow blower out - and you can see it was quite windy and chilly and....

........... there was quite a bit of snow.  For a while........

........ both Poppa and the chap across the road were out dealing with the snow.  Later....

......... there was just Poppa - blowing the edge of the road so that the mail person could get to the mailbox and so there would be less snow for the snow plow to fill in the end of the driveway.  The shovel at the edges was the last step and thankfully he was finished for a while.  Since then we've had a couple of milder days - and there is actually less snow outside right now.  We did brave the cold weather and...........

............ go for lunch with Auntie Cecile and Auntie Colleen for our regular Tuesday get-together.  Another day....

.......... Auntie Jean came out for a visit.  She brought her i-Pad with her and we spent a while together figuring out how to do the things she would like to do with it.  When I went into the room reserved for our little grandsons to do some dusting, I was somewhat alarmed when I looked at Curtis' bed.....

....... to find this rather large fellow sitting there.  After a brief conversation, he said his name is Hershey and he is planning on staying!  Not only that...

........... his brother, Pumpkin, is settled in on Munchie's bed!  Oh gracious - just what we needed - two more bears.........

........ especially as they have been known to sneak into our space and take over Poppa's chair!  It appears that Squeegie and Taffy don't mind at all!  I sat in my chair anyway and worked on....

.... Auntie Colleen's sweater.  The arms and body are now attached and....

........ I am currently working on the yoke.  I'm hoping to finish it up in the next week or so.  It has been a really challenging and fun project after so many socks and dishcloths!  The weather?  Well it is still really cold outside...........

............. the bears bundle up before they go out in the car......... and..........

.......... when we're at home, they snuggle under blankets.
