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”

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”
We’ve Had Enough Rain
I emptied the rain gauge this afternoon. We’ve had another 3.75 inches of rain since this time last week. There are puddles all over the yard and you have to watch where you step. A lot of it has run off but if we keep enjoying sunshine in the next few days it should dryContinue reading “We’ve Had Enough Rain”
Made A Little Progress
I’m enjoying some plain stocking stitch knitting on a size 3 needle. I’ll need to go stash diving soon to decide on the next yarn for the cowl. I should be able to make a decent dent in the left-over fingering yarn for this project. It’s been cool, cloudy and damp today. Brad was outContinue reading “Made A Little Progress”
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”
It’s Spring In February, Sort Of
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”
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…”
The Ice Is Gone
The sun is shining, no breeze to speak of and it’s 41° in our little corner of Texas. Nice to see the sun again. Brad is off to pick up a couple of pounds of chopped brisket, BBQ sauce and sides. We’ll have some for lunch and divide the rest of the brisket and freezeContinue reading “The Ice Is Gone”
It’s Warming Up!
I waited a little late to get an optimal photo of the ice on the Ash trees. It’s above freezing for the first time in days and the sound of melting ice and dripping water is all around outside. The gutters are trickling water nonstop. We got a little freezing drizzle during the night, henceContinue reading “It’s Warming Up!”
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”
