Keeping Warm

The temperatures are slowing falling and the seasons are slowly changing. The leaves have lost nearly all their leaves from the crazy wind, and the snow has even fallen. We turned our clocks back and now it is dark at 5pm. The desire to be outdoors has turned into a desire to wrap up in a blanket and just stay inside. This all only means one thing:

Winter is coming.

And with winter comes the cold. And I'm not just talking about the cold outside, I'm talking about the cold inside. I'm wondering and what point I need to put the plastic up on the windows here in our lovely home before I have to shiver at the thought of watching the blinds blowing in the breeze so easily flowing through our horrible windows.

The other fun part is keeping the little dogs warm. Tilly tends to get cold easier than Charlie has she doesn't have quite as thick of hair as he does. But we try to help this problem by keeping the blinds open during the day so she can nap in the sun (which she LOVES to do) and we also let them style their awesome sweaters. Last year I made camo sweatshirts for the dogs to support AJ while he was deployed, but this year they are sporting some sweaters as they (aka Charlie) out-grew their sweatshirts! I'll have to make some new ones for them sometime, but not until after I actually have a sewing machine and don't have to make them completely by hand! Until then, these will do :)
