We started the year off with 70°, sunny and the house open to a light breeze. Even for Texas this is unusual weather. It’s cloudy today, in the low 60’s with thunderstorms on the way. The temps will stay in the 60’s and 70’s for the next couple of days. I picked out a fewContinue reading “9th Day of Christmas”

November! How Did That Happen?
So, November 1st just snuck right by me yesterday. Here we are with a brand new month and absolutely gorgeous weather to boot! It’s a few minutes after noon on Wednesday, the sun is shining, a lovely breeze is blowing through the house from the open living room window and the front door. It’s 67°Continue reading “November!

Getting Back To Normal
In most cases when I am stressed it helps to work on my knitting. That hasn’t been the case lately so everything got put on hold until a couple of days ago. I’m making progress on the green socks and I’m almost finished with the gusset increases. As usual, I ended up separating the socksContinue reading “Getting Back To Normal”
Some Adjustments Necessary
Knitting up one garter ridge on the diagonal side of the throw per pattern ridge for the lace does not allow for enough ‘give’ or stretch so I started over with the edging. Somewhere along the way I noticed that I’d started knitting on the other end of the picked up stitches. Hmmm. Not sureContinue reading “Some Adjustments Necessary”
Almost There
The propane tank is set and connected to the Generac. It works! All we need now is for Douglas Propane to send a truck out to top off the tank. During a power outage the generator will come on after 15 seconds without power and shut off again when the power comes back on. AndContinue reading “Almost There”
Home Cooking
I put three large, boneless, skinless chicken breast halves in the shallow crock pot insert and seasoned them with salt and pepper. Then I topped them with sliced garlic cloves and a sliced medium red onion and poured BBQ sauce over the top and set the crock pot on low overnight. After breakfast I turnedContinue reading “Home Cooking”
A Respite From The Heat
It was 75° this morning and it got up to 91° during the day, now down to 90° at 7:45 pm. It’s been overcast all day but we haven’t had any rain to speak of. Still, the respite from triple digit heat was what we’d been praying for. Brad and I spent some time inContinue reading “A Respite From The Heat”
It Was Only 106° Today
It wasn’t quite as hot today, just up to 106° and at 9:30 pm it’s 93°. We had overcast skies as evening came on, some thunder off in the distance, but as far as I know we haven’t had a drop of rain. Hava got her muzzle off this morning and she has some soreContinue reading “It Was Only 106° Today”
Another Blazing Hot Day In Texas
I stayed indoors today but Brad took Magen in to see the vet and get her shots. She was such a good girl, much calmer than her sister Hava. He picked up our grocery order on his way home. Tomorrow he takes Hava back to see if her muzzle can come off or has toContinue reading “Another Blazing Hot Day In Texas”
