The Timberjack crew finished grinding the stump and got the ground leveled so water will not flow towards the foundation of the house. They left a little after 4 pm. I’m thinking that after the soil and mulch settles this would be a good spot for a new flower bed. I need to move theContinue reading “All Done”

It’s Time To Decide
I am ready to start the last pattern repeat on this shawl but I still have 1.4 ounces of yarn left. Do I go ahead and finish with 42 saw teeth or do I keep going and try to leave enough to bind off? Honestly I think I’m ready to bind off and just addContinue reading “It’s Time To Decide”
Happy Saturday!
Since it’s Saturday and it’s been awhile since we had a breakfast croissant from the coffee shop Brad drove in and picked up our breakfast. It was more of a brunch than a breakfast since we were both slow to get moving this morning. Up and down, cool/warm/cool weather has our joints complaining and we’reContinue reading “Happy Saturday!”
Lazy, Cold Day
It’s in the low 40’s today but feels more like the mid 30’s, damp and overcast. Brad is in his Man Cave, I heard him on the pistol range a little while ago. I’ve got my knitting to work on and Midsomer Murders streaming on Roku. He made us each an afternoon cup of coffeeContinue reading “Lazy, Cold Day”
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 Adding Up
You are looking at another 48.56 pounds of spinning fiber. I weighed the contents of one basket, no problem. I weighed the other basket including the contents and then weighed the basket and subtracted the difference. Same with the plastic bin. A lot more there than it appeared to me at the outset. The lighterContinue reading “It’s Adding Up”
What A Difference A Day Makes
OK, then! Let’s get this show on the road and pick up where I left off, except I’m no longer feeling like crud and no longer bored. Reset! First of all, I’m not the only one in the house battling the crud. I’m a lot better but I had to go in and pick upContinue reading “What A Difference A Day Makes”
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”
Snow, At Last
I stayed home this morning but Brad went on to the chiropractor and picked up the mail and lunch for the two of us. My herb and spice order from Simply Organic arrived. Does this look like $60 worth of herbs and spices to you? Prices are becoming ridiculous but at least these are goodContinue reading “Snow, At Last”
Winter Storm
It’s 42° and raining this morning. The temps will remain in the 40’s most of the day and begin to drop into the mid 30’s later this afternoon, staying above freezing as the snow moves in. Our weather guy says not to let the above freezing temps lull us and to stay home if possibleContinue reading “Winter Storm”
