It's a bit warmer today...it feels like 4 above instead of negative 1. Heat wave! (so to speak)
We are currently under a winter storm warning for 4-8 inches of snow along with wind gusts to 45 mph.
And when is the worst of it supposed to hit? Right around midnight. On New Years Eve. Yikes. We will be staying put right here in the house.
I did go out and sweep off the couple of inches of fluffy snow we picked up last night. And while I was out there, I got a couple better pictures of our sleigh:
For the whole story on the sleigh, it's worth it to read again how we got it. I had told that story here in a post called He Finally Got His Sleigh.
And how did it look when we bought it at an auction? Like this:
Boy, she was rough.
You can see more pictures of it in the link above.
Sometime later, we actually ran across another sleigh that was in somewhat better shape, and we bought it too, also on the cheap. Between the 2 sleighs, George was able to fab them together to make one pretty decent one. He amazes me! This sleigh was truly a trash to treasure story!
It's not a sleigh to ride in, it might not hold up to that. But we love to set it on the porch every Christmas!
If you are going out tonight, please be careful, no matter the weather where you live. But especially if you are under a snowstorm.
Happy New Year! I hope 2026 will be a good one!
