While talking to my Aunt the other evening, I mentioned that my washer and dryer, Maytags that were purchased used 23 years ago making them about 30 years old, were never going to die thereby allowing me to purchase a new washer and dryer. I told her that I'd probably have to take the washer out and shoot it with a shotgun to get rid of it. Well, the washer heard me and was so frightened that the next day it spewed water all over the floor.
Off to Lowe's we went yesterday and snagged a nice set for $550.00 total with all the necessary accoutrement like drain hoses and such. Upon returning home we stuck the washer on the deck, where it is getting buried in snow.
You can click on pictures to embiggum, however I suggest you skip that step with the laundry room. It's waaaaaaaay too ugly for a Monday.
Why? Because when we re-tiled the kitchen we didn't do under the washer and dryer figuring when they were replaced we'd do it then. Well, then is now...
This is one messy sight...
While at Lowe's imagine my cheap thrifty little soul strangling with astonishment at the prices on some of the washers and dryers. Five or six thousand dollars to wash clothes? Nothing personal if you have one of these "Cadillac" sets, but I find that a strange way to spend money. Just my opinion.
And what's up with the snow? It's only November 22. I hope this isn't a preview of the rest of the winter. Look at those two goofy willows that will not drop their leaves.

Better?
How about a bit closer?
Closer still...
We have hundreds of quail that live on our property - mostly in our burn piles which means they never get burned. I think we have nine huge piles now that have become quail homes. Oh, well!
