Mr. Gnome's Garden


Just sharing another picture.

It's still cold here.  The wind chill this morning when I got up was 17.  Yesterday's high gusty wind blew some of the outside decorations around.  Those are all fixed up now.  As I write this it is up to 32 and I  think that is it for the day's weather.  BRRRR!

I spent time at Best Buy this morning getting a new protective screen for my phone.  I had tried Verizon first a couple days ago, but none of their stores had any or could help.  Nice young Geek Squad man helped me this morning, so all is good now.  There were a couple other things I wanted to check out while there, but I discovered Best Buy is severely low staffed and I gave up for now.

I hope to get some cookies made this weekend.  I have all the supplies, just need to have time to do it.

Take care of yourselves and stay safe.  Be kind.  And God Bless America!

Update

 


The blog site had some issues, so I didn't get to post pictures when I had planned.  But it's working today, so here is what I've been doing.  I spent the weekend decorating the trees and cleaning.  This first picture is our dining room.  

Here is the living room.  


The week has been busy with lots of small jobs to get done, and a couple appointments.

It has been cold here, one morning it was in the teens.  It's a little warmer today and it's 40 right now, but the gusty wind makes it feel colder.  And that wind has also brought down a large limb in the backyard.  Sadly, it is NOT the broken one that has been hanging down over the patio for a few months.  Things are not looking too good for that tree.  When we had it checked in the Summer, the tree man told us to just let it be and see if it recovered and grew leaves next Spring. Told us something has been affecting Ash trees.   We'll see, but I don't have good thoughts about it at this point.

Today was filled with work here around the house, and a Commissary trip.  

Take care of yourselves and stay safe.  Be kind.  God Bless America!  Life is still good.
