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”
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!”
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”
Spring Is Almost Here
March 20 is the first day of Spring and things are greening up around here. Now that the last pine tree is down the iris get more sunlight. I still need to divide those plants and I’d like to move some of them to the other side of the house in a new flower bed.Continue reading “Spring Is Almost Here”
Productive Day
I started the next colorway on the cowl and our electricians came out today and located the problem with the breaker box in the garage. It’s nothing that can’t be fixed fairly easily, basically connecting it to the main breaker box on the side of the house the way it should have been done whenContinue reading “Productive Day”
Storm Hit, Generac Running!
Today 12 yr old Joshua and I had a day together. We stopped at Best Buy and found some movies. I found the complete boxed set, entire series of Magnum PI, the original series, for Audrey. He picked out two movies, one is a newer Spiderman movie that his sister has been waiting for andContinue reading “Storm Hit, Generac Running!”
Productive Day
After our chiropractic visit this afternoon…we’ve switched to afternoons instead of mornings…we stopped at our local Home Depot for a couple of things. We found what we need to replace the old line on the clothesline poles and we decided on a deep freeze for the garage. We found a 20 cu ft Frigidaire thatContinue reading “Productive Day”
After The Storm
The sun is shining, it’s 68° with a light breeze. The worst of the storm missed us but hit Oklahoma pretty hard. Grass is beginning to turn green, I’m hearing frogs in the pond north of the house through the open living room window. The crows and hawks are vocal but I haven’t heard theContinue reading “After The Storm”
Too Much Chocolate Cake
Today was Brad’s birthday and we stopped at the bakery yesterday and he picked out a cake. No, not the one in the photo…but it’s awfully close! I didn’t think to get a pic before we started eating the candy off the top of it or slicing into it. In any case, it was aContinue reading “Too Much Chocolate Cake”
