Brisk 14°F and high of 38°F. I used my clothesline yesterday, but the wind was crazy.
A small, removeable fence has been placed around the "weed" and herb garden. Thankfully, I had the fencing, and did not have to purchase any. Hopefully, it will keep the rabbits out of it, but I have seen a chipmunk who runs among the outdoors.
Ordered a few books and DVD's from the library inter-loan program. Just doing my part to keep the library open, but also to use the free resources.
Speaking of resources, you never know what freebie you can utilize, and one fell right into my lap last week. More on that later.
Finished this book. As a result, I learned a few new fun facts. Like the fact that Elvis sang with Kitty White in a duet to make a movie. You never know what you'll learn in any non-fiction book.
I am 3 granny squares behind on my crochet book blanket. Lacking the crochet mojo. It could be that, I have been making blankets all winter and I am burned out. Seriously burned out, so my attention will be elsewhere for a bit.
We finally found some organic buckwheat honey. I also picked up some lemon infused honey for summer salad dressings. They had so many different honey options, but many I can make myself.

I had been wondering about your book afghan. I miss seeing how you make each square, but I also understand burnout.
Good luck with your various seeds. I rarely get anything other than flowers, okra and green beans to do more than sprout when I plant from seed. Then again I know I have a black rather than green thumb.
Dennis and I listened to a couple of audio books from the library while we were in Galveston. That was fun. They were mysteries so we enjoyed trying to figure out "who did it" together!
It's good to be home again but we miss the camper and it's been cold and snowy since we got home. Tomorrow is supposed to be 70 so we'll enjoy that.
Blessings and hugs,
Betsy
Anne in the kitchen, I am working on getting caught up with the granny squares, but I sort of got behind with kitchen drywall repairs, painting and the like. Hopefully soon. Years ago, a blogger on here sent me some zinnia seeds and they turned out so huge and beautiful. The seeds were never saved or mostly lost that year. I have picked up some new zinnia seeds to add some cut flowers to the gardens this year.
Betsy, that sounds fun too. We love a good mystery movie, and often have fun trying to figure out who did it. The book I finished ended with her murder unsolved. Some parts were boring, but it's always fun to learn something new too.
Mullein? I've been considering this plant most recently. Do you think it will grow well in pots?
Faith, I have only harvested the plant when I found it growing wild here (tea, mullein tincture), but wanted to add the plant to our "weed" garden this year. I'm told it's very difficult to start the plant from seed. So far, no sprouts. I have transplanted a wild growing plant to a pot, but it does so much better in the ground (growing up to 6 feet or taller).
