Cold Again ~ Tidbits

 Brisk 14°F and high of 38°F.  I used my clothesline yesterday, but the wind was crazy.  


We are seeing wild ramps on our walks lately.

Planted:  Mullein (very hard to seed start, so we shall see)
Harvested:  Green onions, Yarrow
Purchased:  Flower seeds


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.
