Monday Merriment

Last night the kids told me that school was closed for an in-service day today.  I didn't believe them.  The calender did say it was closed for that reason, but why not use it to make up all these snow days?

It may be a good day for me to get some more crocheting finished.  I'd like to at least, get the larger projects done, as they are more difficult to crochet when the weather turns hot.  It's not too comfortable crocheting a blanket across my lap in 90°F temperatures.



I don't know about you, but I'm ready for the snow to disappear and take a few camping trips.



It's pretty isn't it?  My  17 year-old daughter snapped this photo behind our property.  We may possibly get more rain and snow this week yet.


I'd rather be camping, however with all these extra helpers (hence my merriment) today, I can get chores completed faster.  I've already started gathering materials to get my book writing goals written down.


Our new baby chicks are doing great and our white tetratint has been named "Lola," which is short for Lolita.  She is loud, sings a lot, runs around the cage with vibrant energy and loves attention.  She is definitely a "show girl."  Yesterday she had a really thin, and darker colored piece of wood shaving in her mouth.  It was hilarious to watch.  She was running around in fast circles, with the barred rock chicks chasing after her.  She thought she had a hot little snack, and was going to keep it all to herself.  They are so funny to watch.  Our one dog, who is "mother" to all babies, is already giving them "kisses."

How old is your Tetra Tint? Mine have great personalities too, love them! :)
We just got the chicks early March. They are still getting their feathers in. We only have one, but she has a very good personality, and is friendly.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
