Opening the Windows ~ Gratitude
The first thing I did yesterday, was open a few windows. It was so nice to get some fresh air in the house and clear out the germs. It was nice to hear nature as well, and kind of relaxing - birds, the pitter patter of rain, Sparta crowing.

Still sick, but plowing through....
Hubby bought this new sign for me. It's totally me. It's totally him too. To start my day requires a heavy dose of organic coffee.
The ironic part, is that we ran out of coffee yesterday. The last thing I wanted to do was run out to the store. I truly missed Hubby's help yesterday.

Herb Garden Happenings ~ Tidbits
The rain came and went on Monday, so we worked accordingly. I did not, and do not, feel good anyway.
Rain flowed in again Tuesday, but I was able to check in on the herb garden(s). Today, we were to get bad storms early this morning, but we got fog (and a school delay) instead. I was happy with it, as I go to sleep in. Here is what is currently happening (including medicinal herbs) in the herb garden:

Fun Day ~ Tidbits
The younger two were begging to do another "fun" thing while they were on spring break, so Hubby agreed to take them to the zoo. The aquarium was shut down for a large remodel job, and it just re-opened last week.

A Year of Hemingway ~ Tidbits
I finally finished The Sun Also Rises, and now I'm onto the next one. I think the most enjoyable part of this one, was reading his descriptions of the bullfighting. I, as a youngin' got to see a real life bullfight in Madrid. I have a photo album with photos somewhere around this place.

Crocheted Placemats and Chair Cushions ~ Vultures and Tidbits
I think these placemats will look nice when I finish them all. It will work until I have a day to antique shop for some long tablecloths (in spring colors). I made them as large as our largest dinner plates. The width is good, but I could crochet less rows and still make them fit nicely.
