or mittens or scarf or extra heavy parka or below zero boots and maybe even a blankie!
The deep freeze is here. 40 BELOW zero windchills...uffda...such is life in the frozen northland. What happened to Global Warming? Apparently it does not apply to Minnesota. The only good thing about the cold weather is that it is making good ice so the fishermen can get out on the lakes without drowning.
Far Guy and I attended at Virtual Craft Get Together sponsored by the VA. They mailed us supplies.
Christmas card report: 10 more are done drying the total is now 117. One more productive day and I should be done...but tomorrow is filled with many appointments and errands.
We got the Christmas letter printed out..not without some drama...upside down a couple of times as the paper was all mixed up....must have been the Christmas Elf:)

I wore my signature, balaclava, Sherpa hat, mini gloves and mittens along with insulated coveralls and warm boots to do chores. Oh. And I wore ski goggles to keep my eyes from getting cold. Only the tip of my nose was exposed.
ReplyDeleteCold here too. At least the wind chill was nicer than your cold!
The sun will shine and the equine will sleep in the hay out of the wind.
Hope your back is doing a tiny bit better?
Hi Val, No huge improvements but slightly less pain.
DeleteThere's a cold chilly wind blowing outside here, though not quite as cold as where you are. (we are just below freezing)
ReplyDeleteCute nomes!
These gnomes with round noses, woolly hats and pine cones are great. Well done. I like it very much.
ReplyDeleteYour Christmas card campaign is great fun, you used the paper wonderfully. Continued good progress.
I send you a varm greeting.

Brrr, bundle up and be safe! The gnomes are adorable.
ReplyDeleteWe are cold, but not that cold. Those gnomes are cute!
ReplyDeleteCute gnomes! We have a cold wind ablowing here too, but not quite as cold as yours. I'm here, cheering you on for your Christmas card race. Stay warm out thre today.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Betsy
Sun dogs…ummm I’ll read about those. I hope you don’t freeze to death.
ReplyDeleteBrrr. Yes, you need indoor projects, and those gnomes are cute.
ReplyDeleteMy Christmas letter is finalized and fit into the border paper and will get printed up today after I bake a batch of fussy cookies.
Our cold temps haven't quite dipped that far, yet. It was -33C ( and we're expecting a warm up starting tomorrow. I'm looking forward to that!
ReplyDeleteThe gnomes are cute! I was at a shop the other day and there was a hand printed sign indicating they had knomes...LOL
That darn elf gets into a lot of trouble around here. Good luck with the appointments.
LD... The gnomes are cute. Yes the cold is beyond bearable. When I do go to the grocery store I am going to stock up for a long haul.
DeleteOh gosh! Those gnomes are so cute! I have made the hats before, but have not seen the gnomes in them until your photo. So fun! Hope you didn't have any power outage like we did here last night. Brrr!
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, that previous comment was from Goodnight Gram. Sorry, I forgot to add my name,
ReplyDeleteReally cold--yes! I think I need a balaclava!
ReplyDeleteCute gnomes! :)
For some reason or other we are missing the extreme cold.
ReplyDeleteI know we have balmy temperatures compared to yours but I still don't venture out without my warm coat and my rechargeable hand warmers. I love those and have even been known to use them when my hands get cold when at my computer. GM
ReplyDeleteWe have ICE. Schools cancelled today since there were so many accidents over night. Luckily I was prepared for the school grandkids with lots of hot cocoa and homemade cinnamon rolls.
ReplyDeleteThose are cute! We're cold, but not your cold. Yikes!
ReplyDeleteWell you're moving right along with those Christmas cards. Yes, we have that terrible cold weather too. Thankfully it will be warming up soon.
ReplyDeleteTake good care you two.
And to think I complain when temps are in the 20's! I know I am a weakling! You will be done with the cards soon!
