It’s Spring In Texas

It’s 65°, cloudy, humid with a light breeze. The grass is getting taller by the day, all of the trees are budding out, even the Ash trees and the pollen is everywhere. We are both battling sinus/allergy crud. I just made a trip to the pharmacy to pick up something for Brad so he doesn’tContinue reading “It’s Spring In Texas”

Hump Day

The last few days have been busy and we’ve accomplished quite a bit. We decided to downsize with regard to the microwave. We’ve had a large Panasonic, 1,250 W since 2010 and we don’t really use it for cooking, mainly for reheating left-overs. It’s quite large and takes up a lot of room and weContinue reading “Hump Day”

Clear, Sunny Weekend

It’s been a gorgeous day, sunny and breezy, 70° all afternoon. The day started out very foggy but by 10 am it was clear and sunny. It’s almost 6:30 pm now and we still have the house open enjoying the fresh air and sounds from a perfect spring day. We decided to dip into ourContinue reading “Clear, Sunny Weekend”

You Are Going In Time-Out!

There is something different about this photo compared to the one in my last post. I frogged about half of what I had knitted with the cranberry red yarn when I found two dropped stitches, side by side. I noticed a couple of loose stitches, turned it over and voilá! There went over an inchContinue reading “You Are Going In Time-Out!”

Soup’s On!

The weather has been cool but has warmed up into the high 70’s today. I’ve been meaning to start a pot of soup so that’s what I just finished. It’s simmering on the stove. I browned a pound of ground beef, sliced some turkey sausage, added chopped red onion, left-over corn, a can of blackContinue reading “Soup’s On!”

Simplifying Life

Here I am on Monday evening sitting down to write a blog post. I deliberately didn’t post on Sunday and may only post Monday thru Saturday for the foreseeable future. For now it seems a good thing to do for Lent. I’ve been spending too much time online lately and waaaay too much time onContinue reading “Simplifying Life”

Been A Slow Day

I finally got started on the semi-solid cranberry red yarn. And looking at this photo I can see that the last colorway that had a knot in it about halfway through the ball of yarn is clearly from two separate batches of yarn. Not that it matters since this is a scrap yarn cowl anyway.Continue reading “Been A Slow Day”

St. Patrick’s Day

It’s after 12 pm now and I picked up our grocery order after we had breakfast. Brad brought us breakfast croissants from the coffee shop and we enjoyed a pot of coffee. It was 35° when we got up this morning and it’s up to 45° now, sunny and breezy, too cool to be workingContinue reading “St. Patrick’s Day”

Dreary March Day

It’s 65°, cloudy and damp. We’ve had a couple of light showers, a little thunder earlier this morning, but nothing much at the moment. We’ve got storms and high winds forecast for this evening and into the night. Not fit weather for man nor beast. Good day to stay in and get some things doneContinue reading “Dreary March Day”

Time For A Breather

I’ve been cleaning and re-arranging things in the kitchen and it’s time to put my feet up. I’ve done two loads of laundry as well. I moved the juicer and food processor off of the counter to the left of the kitchen range to the built-in counter top in the dining room giving us roomContinue reading “Time For A Breather”
