Wow!  It's Christmas!  Not really but we did wake up to a snow covered landscape!  It was gorgeous and short lived!  Thank goodness!  Actually, I went into panic mode yesterday afternoon when the weatherperson said snow level was going to be down to 3000 feet. We are at 4800 feet.  So I went to our trusty Walmart and bought 3 packages of firewood to supplement the  logs we already have and got a couple bottles of water, just in case.

At 3 am I got up for my usual trip to the bathroom and checked outside.  Nothing, nada, zilch!  No snow, no rain, just wind, wind, wind!  The blasted weatherman got it wrong again.  At 6 am it was a different story.  It was a whiteout!  I couldn't see mountains behind us nor in front of us, just white.  Big white snowflakes were blowing in sideways.  The alpacas were covered and the goats were no where to be seen.  They were hiding in their warm little shelter.  They didn't stick their little noses out until I went out to feed them.  They did not like the white wet stuff at all.  Poor babies!  I know just how they feel.  I was so thankful it was Sunday morning and no one had to drive to work in the horrible conditions.  I could take pictures in my pjs, make myself a strong cup of hot tea and kick back and watch the blizzard from my cozy Arizona room. 

I spent the day prepping my bathroom and painting it.  I had to remove old wall paper which took a couple of days.  I also sanded and taped, then put on 2 coats of soft blue paint.  Steve helped toward the end by painting the last wall and then cleaning up after.  We still need to remove wallpaper over the sink area and paint around the tub.  I would like to get a new vanity to put in there.  We plan to check prices on those at Lowes on Tuesday.  I need new tires on my SUV and we plan on shopping while the tires are being put on.  It will be like having a new bathroom! Ha!

We had another of our "Praise the Lord" sunrises yesterday.  Enjoy!
