Sunday Fun

I always try to call work fun, so I don't get down and out about doing it.  Actually, it was Hubby who said he's glad we had to go out and cut wood yesterday.  He said it's good to get fresh air in winter.   Then again, he's the first to say, "why do we do this?" when we run out of wood and we haven't planned early for it, ha ha!

The last few times we split wood, I found beauty all around us and went back out with my camera.  Hubby laughs at this, and calls me "crazy."

Here are the photos I took:





I may be crazy about certain things, but it was just too pretty not to take photos (even though we froze our ba-zoongas off slpitting wood).  

I had a carhartt over a full body carhartt.  Hubby's old ones that is.  And insulated boots.  Every winter I remind him why we need to cut more wood in the better weather months.  I know we had hiccups these past few years, but I am hopeful for a better planned year this year.

The snow is already rolling in (again).  I thought they said later in the week. Hm.  I hope it's not a lot.  At least it's not blowing today.  Whew.  My barn doors are froze shut (but one), so I'm looking forward to warmer days again.

I spent the rest of Sunday crocheting.  Hubby got called to work (prior to splitting wood), and housework just didn't sound right on what I call, my "rest" day.

I think I'll pull some more pumpkin soup from the freeze and get the day started.  I'm tempted to crochet all day (he he!) Or read a book.  Oh boy, that would be a treat.  I better got off here and get my chores done.  Have a wonderful Monday.

Your photos are so beautiful. Worth being cold to see such beauty.

Despite the hardship of that horrible weather, it does make for beautiful photos. Hope you managed to get some reading done.

Beautiful ice sculptures! But it had to have been cold splitting all that wood!
We are still stuck in the deep freeze around here too!

We’re due for another storm, too. Although, it doesn’t call for a lot of snow.
Isn’t the ice beautiful? Too bad it’s a bear to drive in!

mamasmercantile, I did not get any reading time, but I hope to this week.
Liz, I am thankful I have old carhartts to wear, but yeah, it's cold.
Debbie, you are right about driving in this weather. Brr!

I know when I used to split wood on the farm I liked it cold as I worked up a sweat! Are you sure you're not 'goofing off' too much? LOL! Just kidding. It has been brutally cold everywhere. Your pictures are pretty...nature pictures are the best!
I have Saturday as Craft Day otherwise I really don't get to focus time on them and then Sunday is rest also but sometimes I have to cook or do some chores....I need to plan my Sundays better. Good for you!
Sam I Am, my craft days rotate depending on what work needs done here too.

Question

  I have asked this before, but I know I follow a few writers who have written (and published) novels.  What is the best free or best least expensive (simple like Word) writing software to use that is not Google Docs? Thanks! I'll be back with an update soon I hope.  But I do appreciate your help, because I cannot find the information some of you suggested.

Horsetail Salve ~ A "first" this Year

We purchased some horsetail salve to try last year.  It is said to help with severely dry, cracked skin.  My husband was the first to try it, with very, very dry and cracked hands from work. He loves it!  He joked I could not have it back.   I started the infused, horsetail oil the last part of March. Something I learned:   horsetail is also called shavegrass. I infused horsetail in oil, and strained it.  I then made horsetail salve.  I remembered to label my jar with what oil(s) I used, so I can journal this all in my "Herbal Remedies" journal.  I often forget to write the oil used. Now, the one we bought, has more in it than I put in ours, as far as ingredients (the purchased salve had lanolin, and aloe).  We'll see if ours works just as good.  I added the sage essential oil, and vitamin E oil. A "first" time experience for us this year.    I bought the larger tins at a seed store in an Amish area last year.  They a...

Chit Chat

  The pickings are slim right now, but we'll take anything we are blessed with.  I made a salad and cleaned the beans.  The rain will give us more for a meal in a day or so.  The green beans are every so slowly coming on this season. I made a batch of homemade granola, and instead of my homemade vanilla extract, I used my homemade Christmas Spice Extract.  It smelled so good in the oven, and while cooling.   I picked some purslane, and am doing an experiment with it this time.  Update soon.   Chit Chat ©  August 2026 by Kristina at Pioneer Woman at Heart
