Nope, Tracy!  It's a bear!  LOL!  If you look at some of my Paisley layouts, you can see him better when he isn't covered with snow.We had a tree that died, and so we hired a woodcarver to come and carve us a bear from the stump.  I just love him!  He carved it in about 75 minutes!  Amazing!

Thank you, Tracy!!!!  I was thinking the same thing!!!Looks so pretty, Laura!  I love the snow, when I don't have to be out in it . . . driving, etc.  We had a snowstorm back in January over the weekend.  It was so nice.  Then by Monday it was all nice and clear.

Trish, we have a generator and a fireplace.  Normally, we don't have weather like this, though.  The last time we had this much snow was in 1996.

Hey Laura!  Isn't this crazy???  I posted some pics from my house in the picture gallery.  This is so crazy.  It's supposed to be in the 50's by Friday.  When you live in Ohio, you wear shorts one day and carry a shovel the next!

Yeah, Julia, I can't believe it.  I don't think school will be a go on Monday, though.  It will take them awhile to clear all those back roads with the blowing and drifting.

I'm hoping school is a no go, but the district I'm student teaching in just  used their last day on Wednesday!  Either way it doesn't bother me.
