Normally, I'd start my morning around six o'clock, by putting wood in the wood stove, feeding barn cats, letting dogs out, and feeding house cats (all before a cup of coffee).
This morning?
My alarm went off at 2:35am, I slipped on shoes, brewed a pot of coffee and was out the door by 3:00am with Hubby, Son, and Youngest (one daughter didn't make it back out of bed, ha ha!).
I told the kids I was just going to sleep in my clothes, to make it easier, and I did. Worked like a charm.
Son's Christmas leave was over and needed to fly out today. Yes I teared up at the airport, but you can't sit in the departure lane very long, so I had to let go of him sooner than I wanted too.
Thankfully, the weather held out for us. Although it rained, the temperatures stayed up above freezing, and the snow is due to arrive later (now that his flight has departed and I've gotten a few more hours of sleep), along with "bitter cold" temperatures.
Alias, however, is confused. He's curled up in Son's bed, and normally he's up and walking around. I'm sure the two miss each other already.
I'm finally back to putting together a binder with collected recipes for good health.
I'm compiling recipes, instructions, tips and whatnot. I've already started to collect ingredients (along with my home grown herbs) to mix up a "high calcium, bone building" tea.
I have a long wish list of medicinal seeds for this coming spring herb garden as well.
As I look at the cover I printed, I see I left out "elixirs." Hm. I may have to re-print that as I compile. I already have a "vinegar" to make this coming spring, and am pretty excited to continue my herbal journey.
The kids continue to bug me about having a facebook, but I am still saying no. There is just so much propaganda my younger ones "share" that it's like reading a gossip magazine. If it was all family stuff, then maybe. And when you see anti-cop stuff posted? Well, it grinds on my nerves (my brother is in law enforcement)....however, if the kids promise to be nice....
Son graduates in May, which could mean a 10 day leave, followed by orders to ship anywhere at this point. And, Daughter may be moving two hours from here. So....there is no rush to say yes just yet.
As for handiwork, I am slowly finishing up some projects I found while cleaning up. I'll post them when I have a few finished.

For some reason, today seems like New Year's Day to me . . . will I never get my days straight now? Our weather has plunged into the deep freeze (10 degrees BELOW zero) so we're hunkering down and staying in as much as possible today. I'll think of you finding time to work on those unfinished projects . . . I'll be in my quilt room! Or on the couch reading!
I too agree with you on Facebook, I won't join it.. and I don't tolerate all this police officer bashing. These men and women put their lives on thr line daily and they deserve better than threats and harassment.
Please keep us posted on your wounded barn cat and Alias too.
I do see how my kids get into arguments over something posted and shared on facebook. There is too much bad influence and then people get swooned into the hype (at least I see it with the kids).
Regarding Facebook, because one gets to choose and set their own privacy settings there, they don't have to see anything posted on it they don't want to see. I, for instance, am set to "Friends Only" and that pretty much means I only see things posted by family members and friends with some of the same thoughts and values as myself.
What I enjoy about Facebook is, it's a good, safe place for family and friends to share their own family photographs without having to depend upon emails to do so, it's a good, safe place to store them too instead of tying up one's own hard drive with them, and if one has their privacy settings set to "Friends Only" no one else can see them but those one has chosen to accept as their friends.
But that's just what I enjoy about Facebook. I limit my activity there by not playing any of the games, clicking any of the ads, etc. I simply don't have time for all that anyway.
God bless.

Hope you will be sharing some of your herbal wisdom with us.
I'm not on facebook either - don't like the sound of 'anti-cop' stuff!! - my favorite cousin ever is a wonderful Police Man!!!
