The mowers are here, finishing up the trimming and cleanup. It’ll be two weeks tomorrow that they mowed the first time this season and it looks really nice again. Everything is so green! It’s been an early, damp Spring and no sign of letup. It’s in the mid 70’s with 61% humidity. Ick. We areContinue reading “That Long Week Isn’t Over Yet”

On The Mend
We are both better, but tired. The antibiotics and steroids are working and I was able to drive in to town and pick up a grocery order so we have what we need for the foreseeable future. I’ve got a couple of things to prepare for the big freezer but it will wait until later.Continue reading “On The Mend”
It’s Spring In Texas
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”
Clear, Sunny Weekend
It’s been a gorgeous day, sunny and breezy, 70° all afternoon. The day started out very foggy but by 10 am it was clear and sunny. It’s almost 6:30 pm now and we still have the house open enjoying the fresh air and sounds from a perfect spring day. We decided to dip into ourContinue reading “Clear, Sunny Weekend”
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”
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”
Dreary March Day
It’s 65°, cloudy and damp. We’ve had a couple of light showers, a little thunder earlier this morning, but nothing much at the moment. We’ve got storms and high winds forecast for this evening and into the night. Not fit weather for man nor beast. Good day to stay in and get some things doneContinue reading “Dreary March Day”
Time For A Breather
I’ve been cleaning and re-arranging things in the kitchen and it’s time to put my feet up. I’ve done two loads of laundry as well. I moved the juicer and food processor off of the counter to the left of the kitchen range to the built-in counter top in the dining room giving us roomContinue reading “Time For A Breather”
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”
