It’s in the mid 70’s today and was near 80° earlier this afternoon. It’s just after 5 pm and we’ve had the house open enjoying the fresh air. It’s cloudy, but still a nice day. I’ve spent the afternoon working on Brad’s socks and puttering around on the laptop, enjoying what’s going on with TwitterContinue reading “It’s Spring In February, Sort Of”

A Quiet Monday
We had nowhere to be and stayed at home today. We were able to enjoy having the front door open again. Plenty of fresh air, but not much sunshine. We have a chance of rain, 95% around 2 am and some wind later tonight and again in the afternoon tomorrow. Tuesday is chiropractor day andContinue reading “A Quiet Monday”
Recalculating…
I had thought to be finished with this plying project by now but it seems I’ve been overdoing the spinning thing lately, requiring a second visit to the chiropractor this week due to muscle spasms in my upper back. So today will be a ‘rest in the recliner and knit’ day instead of sitting atContinue reading “Recalculating…”
Another Rainy Day In Texas
We went to bed to the sound of thunder last night and woke up to more of the same this morning. We’ve had a steady rain since last night and it’s 12 Noon now. This is supposed to taper off and clear out in a couple of hours according to the forecast from last night.Continue reading “Another Rainy Day In Texas”
Not Much Going On
The snow is gone, it’s still above freezing but will dip down below 30° tonight. I’ve spent the day in the recliner with a case of the sniffles and a bit of a cough from sinus drainage. Typical winter stuff in our area when the weather waffles back and forth this time of year. GladContinue reading “Not Much Going On”
Happy Roc Day!
Today is Roc Day, or St. Distaff’s Day. Time to get back to work after the Christmas holiday. I still have an ounce to spin to finish the first bobbin of BFL/Tussah Silk I’ve been working on. I’ll stick to that for the time being instead of ‘sampling’ a different fiber for the fun ofContinue reading “Happy Roc Day!”
Cold And Foggy
I woke up before 8 am, rested from a good night’s sleep and a day of doing pretty much nothing yesterday. It’s 28° outside and foggy. It’s also our youngest grandson’s birthday. He is two years old today. We need to pick up a load of cattle feed to take to the farm later thisContinue reading “Cold And Foggy”
Lazy Monday
There is a certain disadvantage to moving my spinning wheel into my studio. Namely, everywhere I look I see more fiber that I haven’t spun yet. And for some reason the bin on the far right, second shelf from the top keeps catching my eye. I know what’s in there. But I’m not finished withContinue reading “Lazy Monday”
Thunderstorms On The Way
It’s 65° and solid overcast this morning. The temperature will begin to drop soon and the storms will be rolling in. There’s been some fog in the area but it doesn’t seem to be very thick where we are. It’s a good day to stay home and knit. Brad is having breakfast with a gameContinue reading “Thunderstorms On The Way”
Finally! A Finished Project!
I cast these off the needle last night. The ends are woven in, they’ve been soaked in Eucalan and are on the sock blockers overnight. I plan on wearing them tomorrow. I’ve got quite a bit of ribbing to do on the purple socks… …and I’ve put these socks on separate needles to finish theContinue reading “Finally! A Finished Project!”
