Ohio Valley Weather Update

 When I got up this morning it was 30 degrees here at The Compound.  That's the warmest it has been in a week.  It's supposed to be 50 tomorrow and 60 on Thursday.  With a heat wave like that, I will be able to wear some of my new size-smaller Christmas t-shirts.  

Ohio Valley Weather Update

Yesterday morning, it was 8 degrees when I got up.  The high made it to a balmy 12 degrees.  Today, we've had a heat wave - it was 10 when I got up, the sun was shining and as I post this it is 20.  I see an end in sight.  Tomorrow is supposed to get to 40, Wednesday it is supposed to be 50 and Thursday it is supposed to be 60.  Which means Friday will be below zero.

Stay tuned. 

Craft Bazaar Report

 I'm sorry to say yesterday's craft bazaar was a bust.  There were barely a few shoppers that came. I talked to 8 of the 30 vendors there, and none of them sold enough to break even with the fee they paid for their booth.  I was happy to have sold enough ornaments to cover my booth fee and to come out $10 ahead. But it was a great day, in spite of the weather.  I'm already planning for that church's April bazaar.  Stay tuned, 

Snow Report From The Compound

 According to my Precip app, we got 8.8" of snow last night.  Phase 1 of snow removal is complete - I cleared off the front porch steps and sidewalk.  Phase 2 will be later this afternoon when I clear off the back porch ramp.  Our road is very clear, thanks to the snow plows that came through.  According to the morning local news, all main roads are clear.  I hope the snow doesn't deter shoppers from coming to the craft bazaar tomorrow.  I'm glad I loaded up everything in the van yesterday afternoon.

Safe And Sound

 I honestly can't remember when I have driven through heavy rain as I did this morning on the Watterson Expressway going to BSF.  It was Jesus take the wheel, and I made it there and back home in crazy traffic safe and sound.  For that I am thankful. 

Crafting Update

 I spent a good part of yesterday and today working on more bottle cap ornaments and pictures to get ready for Saturday's craft bazaar.  I'm on schedule as of now.  Tonight I will fire up the hot glue gun and make another picture and tomorrow after BSF I will glue antlers and tails onto fifteen wine cork reindeer.  So far, so good. 

Stay tuned. 

The Old Man Was Right

 The Old Man and his parents always said that snow waits around for another snow.  They were right.  We still had a little bit of snow hanging around, and this morning we woke to a heavy dusting of snow.  It didn't last long, but the old wive's tale was right.
