Declaring it Porch Time

That's it.  I'm declaring it is spring now, which means "porch time" and my furniture is coming out of storage.  Even if I have to drag it out on the sled.


The wood pile tells me so.  I should I say lack of a wood pile.  I did not even shovel the snow yesterday.  It is going to melt very soon anyway, and the scent on those sheets is so wonderful - natural "medication" for a good night's sleep.




The sun is blinding me at through the front window now.  That has to be a sure sign of spring.

The porch is calling me...........oh wait!!

The kids reminded we we always get snow the last week of March.  Hmpf.  A portable fold-up chair is now in the hallway, ready to tote in and out, when porch time (despite my kids logic on the subject) is needed.





In the meantime, I'll make some campfire starters, and dream of camping.  I had just enough beeswax to make two dozen fire starters.  The Island (and campground) is calling.  Then again, there are always new places to explore.

I've got another huge stack of books from the library.  Once I finish chores up here today, I plan to sift through it and see if any can help us with locating more scholarship applications for our 18 year-old.

We actually felt "springtime" up here yesterday, too . . . the temp went slightly above 32 degrees! Can't see that it managed to melt any of the ice and/or snow out there, but it sure felt good. Maybe spring will really arrive for all of us this year! Hang in there . . . folding porch chair in hand!
Mama Pea, we are to get a high of 38°F today. The sun is out too.

I was about to say "Wait" myself. March did come in like a lion most places across the US and might go out like a lamb if the old adage holds, but "might" is the keyword in that sentence, and we know from experience (and old margarine commercials), that "It's not nice to fool Mother Nature." (Remember that old Chiffon margarine commercial. It's on Youtube if you don't. LOL)

Enjoying the nice days we do have, patiently waiting for more to come with Spring and for Spring to last more than a day and a half which it often does in NC. Darnitall!!!

God bless.

RB, I am digging out my Farmer's Almanac to see what it says about weather (if it has anything for March).

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 . . .
