It's February, so there is not much activity going on here at the homestead. Not even home repairs at the moment. Weather is the cause with freezing rain and bad roads. Weather continues to jump all over the map. We still need a trip for home repair supplies. The freezing rain put a thick layer of ice on everything over night last night.
My entire day was just changed thanks to the ice covered roads. If we lived in town, it would be a different story, but we live in the country. Nothing is just a hop, skip and jump to get to.
You get blessed with a rambling sort of post today.
I've made a bit of progress on the blue and white baby blanket. I haven't really devoted much time to it lately. I do need to verify her due date, so I can get this finished in time.
My intention this month, was to work in the utility room (purging first), while our affordable hired hand, worked in another area with wall repairs/painting, and stairway work, but that is changing.
The beauty of having a local library, is that you can borrow free books and movies. Of course libraries offer more than that, but I love that I can borrow a book to see if it is worthy to buy as a guide for our adventures with nature. I have ordered us more movies on DVD and more non-fiction books. I'm still waiting on some DVD's we ordered via the free library inter-loan program.
The "blind date" puzzle has been opened. The puzzle is not a new puzzle. We were surprised at this, as the clerk never advertised this at the store, and didn't say anything. We literally paid a higher price for it, but apparently, because the puzzle is an art portrait from a famous artist. The box was falling apart, so we had to tape the sides and ends to re-box it later. I am hoping all the pieces are there, but we'll find out. The pieces are smaller, and not uniform to size. I see a headache instead of relaxation. Should be interesting. I may, or may not, be back with an updated photo.
