We had got our first snow of Friday.  It was nice because it was so late this year (and it’s been unseasonably warm , but also crappy because snow.  I’m already done with winter (I may be living in the wrong state…)

At least the sunsets have been pretty lovely lately!

If you’re also getting snow and not thrilled about it (or even if you are) here are some amusements to help get you through the week.

Homesick Candles. They’re supposed to smell like your state, but WI doesn’t smell like beer and cheese with a hint of cow so I have my doubts. On the other hand, MN basically just smells like winter so maybe they’re actually on to something.  I’m also a jerk and thought ND should have just been “unscented.”

Burglary thwarted by bees. Yes, bees.

Do you Twitter? I don’t, but if you do and sometimes find yourself running out of ideas you can always check out Yes, That Can Be My Next Tweet. It’s also Bloggess approved. (and if you’ve never read her blog, you really should… unless you’re super put off by random taxidermy.  Then it may not be a good fit).

A friend and I hit up a local craft fair this weekend.  If you’re looking for handmade (and green!) gifts, some of my favorite vendors were Made by Liz P. (there’s not a lot in her etsy shop at the moment, but look at her sales history to get a better idea of her full range), Tired Ol’ Belts, Raju’s Arts, and Nest Pure.

 

I’m taking the week off because this week off because I’m in tight with the boss (aka, Me) and Holidays are hectic (plus it’s getting dark early and I have things I need to photograph yet).  Enjoy your Thanksgiving!
