Tuesday Tidbits ~ Finished Handiwork

When it snows....all he wants to do is eat it, and he forgets why he's out there.  Sigh.  He leaves his personal tracks in the now - paw prints with a tongue mark in between them.




I finished the baby blanket.




I also finished a pair of baby booties.

We are preparing for a spring vendor/craft show this month.


Family funny - Hubby caught me sweet talking to the chicks and heard me call them all "ladies."  He busted out laughing.  Oh boy, this will be interesting.

I haven't heard from the kids lately.  One needs help replacing rotors on a car, one daughter's car is still out here and broke down, and don't get me started on the truck.  It now has a fluid leak.  We really need a time period to get repairs done and get ahead of all this.  Hubby told me to order what I need on "Amazon."  I told him the groceries I need are on on "Amazon."  Sigh.  I know he's busy and that it was too cold Sunday, but something has got to give.  I'm going bonko.

I finally installed a cheap TV antenna.  Now I can watch the news and work out on the treadmill (which is rather boring so I'm super happy).  Down the road we will upgrade to a more expensive one.  We have "big ticket" projects coming up, so those went to the top of the "get it done" list.

Woke up to a chilly -7°F.

Antenna's down here are really expensive because of the mountains/hills they have to be really high plus there are few stations.
It was 15 here this morning and 13 yesterday....but amazingly the hyacinths and daffodils are still blooming...either that or they are frozen in place! LOL!
Cheer up...Spring is right around the corner!
Thanks Sam I Am, but now we'll need to hire a plumber. I am so sick of this cold weather and trying to keep the pipes flowing. ugh.

Minus seven wow How do you deal with it? We are finally getting into the 50s and I am so glad. Take care and wear extra.

Wow!!! That blanket is GORGEOUS!!!
The dog is hilarious, but then so are most animals when they come upon something unexpected.
Been trying to rest up. Got scheduled for 3 days this week instead of the normal 1 or 2. I'm 71+ years old, and just can't work a heavy schedule anymore, but I'll see what next week's schedule looks like before saying anything.
Plus, sometimes that extra work is God sending it to you, maybe because it'll be needed for a vehicle repair or medical appointment. You never know.
Anyway, prayers everyone has a great week, and a safe one too.
God bless.

RB, thanks. I hope to sell that blanket at the soon to be craft show. Yeah, that dog is a head shaker. I laugh and often roll my eyes at him.
thank you mamasmercantile
Catsngrams, we just layer up and get indoor work done. Sigh....it's getting old this year for sure.

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 . . .
