a little bit of fun

We had a bit of fun today after we got the groceries for tomorrow and everything was in order in the house. Leo put the snowman up. We bought it than took it back and bought it again and then took it back and the third time is supposed to be the charm because we got it again today and Leo put it up right away. It is so cheery and I love snowmen so much. Its arm waves to everyone that passes and to the children in the house accross the street. We got it up while it was still easy ~ the ground is not frozen and it has not snowed yet either. Besides I was in so much pain last year at Christmas time and before and after that I couldn't enjoy Christmas, this year I hope to make the best of all of the stages of the season. It can't start too early or last too long for me. When we have to take the lights down it will be a long snowy winter and a waiting time for spring and my flowers again. So I will make the best of this. And then it will be a time for Leo to use his brand new snow blower and me to take pictures of the beautiful snowy days. So this is a nice beginning of the winter... Its getting very cold out now here in Wisconsin... and will be getting colder ~ I have not worn my winter jacket yet but I probably will tomorrow if I go out at all.  Hope everyone will have a beautiful and happy Thanksgiving and enjoy the parade and football if that is your choice.
