I’m wondering if we’re in for an early spring this year. The Redbud tree is in bud but I haven’t checked to see what else may be budding out. The daffodils that got beaten down by the downpour several days ago have perked back up to some extent. It’s 5:30 pm and we have theContinue reading “An Early Spring?”

Where Did My Day Go?
Didn’t sleep well last night. Ended up falling asleep in my recliner after a late breakfast and slept until after 3 pm this afternoon. Wow. I’ve been one step behind all afternoon, it’s 9:45 pm and I’m not sleepy. Brad’s gone off to bed and I am done with TV for the day. I’ve readContinue reading “Where Did My Day Go?”
Texas Weather, Ugh
It’s 78° outside and humid enough to drown frogs! It’s awful. I’ve been to Houston a couple of times in my life and Puerto Rico once and it’s almost that bad here today. Which means there is a front headed our way with thunderstorms tomorrow most likely. Good thing we have a good A/C system.Continue reading “Texas Weather, Ugh”
A Day Of Rest
The weekend is rapidly coming to a close and I’ve enjoyed the rest and relaxation. I didn’t even do any knitting today after finishing the Hitchhiker Shawl yesterday. I don’t usually do selfies…but I wanted a photo of the shawl so… I used my cell phone and the auto click button that came with theContinue reading “A Day Of Rest”
Fiber Inventory Is Finished
Stick a fork in me, turn me over, I’m done! My fiber stash consists of 135 lbs of wool, alpaca, bison, camel down, cashmere, silk, raime, flax and cotton. Most of the wool and wool blends are in the form of combed top. I have cotton sliver and cotton lint, line flax and tow flax,Continue reading “Fiber Inventory Is Finished”
Roast Beef For Sunday
I ordered a pot roast with my grocery order yesterday and put it in the crock pot with new potatoes, carrots, red onion, a cup of water and a cup of red wine after seasoning it with freshly ground sea salt and freshly ground peppercorn blend. I set it on low at 10 pm andContinue reading “Roast Beef For Sunday”
Wrong Day!
I’ve been pretty busy lately, getting a lot done around the house and making progress with my knitting and spinning, and somehow I lost track of what day of the week it is. I woke up thinking it was Saturday for some reason. Later, while we were having breakfast it came to me why. OurContinue reading “Wrong Day!”
9th Day of Christmas
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”
Friday!
The work week is winding down and the weekend is approaching. Trying to get any shopping done this week has been nuts! Traffic is unbelievable. How there aren’t a string of fatality wrecks is beyond me. One elderly woman parked next to Brad in the grocery store parking lot put her car in gear, trompedContinue reading “Friday!”
Enjoying My Lap Throw
I finished this the first week of August and had planned to add a lace edging but decided to go ahead and give it a soak in Eucalan, lay it out to dry and see what I thought about it. I didn’t stretch it much, just pinned it out to keep it’s shape as itContinue reading “Enjoying My Lap Throw”
