All of Canada is experiencing colder than normal temperatures as a Polar Vortex has descended from the North Pole. Of course here on the west coast our cold is nothing compared to the prairies and East coast where frigid temperatures are bone-chilling ( think wind chills of minus 40 C which is the same as -40F ).
The sun is shining again today. In spite of the cold Youngest Son came to wash some of the outside windows as well as the sky lights. The sunshine is lovely but one can certainly see how dirty the windows are when the sun shines.
When I opened the back door to give Kitty her breakfast I was greeted not by Kitty but by a raccoon. I chased him off and fed her but barely had gone back in when he was there again. I suppose he was very hungry but to feed one raccoon would soon have every raccoon in the area in our yard wanting food.
I decided to change the things on the old sewing machine. This is the 'before' picture.....
...and this is what it looks like now. Small changes. Next I'll get out some Valentine decor. It's not that long any more.
Thanks for visiting
Small changes always make things seem new again! LOL about the raccoon, you might have a regular visitor at your door. Stay warm, we're getting some of that arctic blast down here in Texas this weekend. brrrrr
ReplyDeleteAh - you alsohave very cold clear weather ***** We here in the Bavarian Forest, too *****
ReplyDeleteI'm happy, that we here in my region don't have racoons, but they come nearer and nearer. They really are naughty!
Fine, that your son is helping you cleaning the windows******
I enjoyed seeing your changes to the decor. Sometimes we just need a small change to boost our mood.
ReplyDeleteIt was -21F this morning with the windchill. Love the photo at the top of your post. It's very appropriate for this week isn't it?
Blessings and hugs,
