Winter is wonderful

 Good morning everyone. Well, it snowed again last night and my snowblower broke down because, the choke was frozen from all the very cold weather. When we got the first snow, I started it up and the choke was frozen. Because I forced it, it broke and am waiting on a new carburetor to come from the East coast. 

So I am waiting for my neighbor to come with his 4wheeler and plow  me out. Here is the new snow from last night.

As you can see, I used a lot of wood.

Not to worry,  my friend Matt hooked me up with close to a cord of wood.

Because today is a bit cold and I am waiting on a new pair of gloves,  I will stack the wood when it warms up or the gloves come. 

More snow

I got the Christmas spirit this year and it really feels nice. I really like this Wreath.

       New Christmas tree

                   Inside

I bought 2 of these for outside.

As you see, I put the new siding on the front

       The new look

I have been downsizing inside a lot and have made the interior more cozy. I got rid of the big recliner because,  it took up to much room.  Here is what the inside looks like. It is a little messy but, it will soon look much nicer.

I was looking for a small couch that fit in the cabin.

I plan on finding a more rustic cover for the couch.

I bought these pillows for the couch, they looked festive.

I am sitting here with my fire and drinking tea as I make this blog. 

I bought a new air purifier to clean up the air from the wood stove. It seems to work well.

I bought a new Mr. Buddy heater that came out it provides 180 degree Omni directional heat and 8,000 btu to 11,000 btu's you can also turn it into a cooking stove. This heater is great.

Well, I hope you enjoy this blog. I have really got into the Christmas spirit this year and I am not sure what made it so but, am glad it happened. My Christmas wish to everyone is that you will please, help someone less fortunate. This year, I purchased a lot of toys and distributed them to the many Toys for Tots barrels and it makes me feel good to provide a child with some happiness.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE. 

Finally, Winter has arrived

 Hi folks, finally Winter is here and today it is 22F a little overcast but, still bright. The minus 25 degree weather  for 2 weeks made it impossible to have much fun. I started off this morning with a nice breakfast.

                                Decided to go outside and split some firewood. This is what it looked before.

                             This is how it looks now after the cold spell we had.

                       Here's Aurora playing in the snow. She loves to roll in the snow 

            I am changing the outside look of my cabin, something a little more cheerful.

                                           Getting ready to split firewood.

I split this log and both pieces went right into the sled, that will never happen again, LOL.

These Birch trees look so nice in the Winter. 

Trees look so nice when covered with snow. 

I changed my kitchen around, still have more work to do. Gonna add shelves on the wall.

I am in the process of downsizing and sold my big refrigerator and replaced it with a smaller one.

Here is what the living room looks like now, kinda messy but, I will soon start getting rid of things there as well.

There are a lot of  changes coming up. I will close for now and will be working on another blog.  Thanks for those of you who stuck by me. 

            Take Care

I'm back

 Well, it's been awhile but, I'm back. I've had a lot going on medical, socially and work wise. First of all, Freddy is gone, he got to be too much with his running away and not wanting to go with me anywhere and I need a dog that is more willing to do things with. So. I rehomed Freddy with a musher who is close by and has told me Freddy is doing very well on his team. 

Which brings me to Aurora, she is an Australian Shepard and a great companion. 

Aurora is 7 years old and is very intelligent and obeys me very well. 

She is good off leash and pretty much stays on the property but, when going on a walk, I have to keep her on the leash because,  she will chase a vehicle. We will work on that.

I started residing my cabin

I really like the color, it is a more friendly look. I had to put the work on hold because, I noticed the front was drooping and I have to raise it back up.

Here are a few meals I've had. 

Orange Chicken

                      Moose vegetable and tomato soup 

I took this picture of a tree at night with frost on it, thought it was kind of neat.

                        Got most of my firewood cut

That's it for now, I will be posting more often take care and stay safe.

This is a test video

 I tried this on YouTube to see how it goes. My thought is to do videos instead of pictures. Tell me what you think.

Progress on the front yard

 Well, I finally making progress.

                     Before

                      After

I moved everything to the back.

It looks a lot better and neat. Now, I have to figure out what to do with the front. I do have some ideas.

Tonight's dinner was Chicken and veggies with a Chinese sauce. 

I hope to have another post soon. I really need to get some exercise to makeup for the 4 weeks I took it easy after eye surgery.  Hope you enjoy. 

         Take care
