Coming Down ~ Blast from the Past
Anyone out there with Christmas lights still up outside? Not on, but up? Come one, you can admit it.
With the snow finally melted, and the wind and rain and rotten weather finally giving us a break, our lights are coming down. Today's the day.

Cleaning for Camping ~ Painting ~ Timmy (again)
I'm still deep cleaning. I came across cloth napkins, that at one time, I had planned to embroider for gifting. Not sure what I had intentionally planned, but I did tackle this unfinished project.
Now, at this point, I could have just given them away or even donated them, but I tossed them all into the washing machine instead.

Goat Round Up
I didn't have to worry about where I'd get my 10,000 steps yesterday (I have a fitbit).
I gained just shy of 8,000 steps by noon.

A Few New Things ~ Possibilities Journal
I've already tried my hand at tatting, shooting a gun, and so forth, so this list will be more difficult to write and update. Hmm...what haven't I learned to do yet? And what do I still want to do? And which ones will I have time for this year?

Almanac Update ~ Goats ~ Writing Updates
The Farmer's Almanac was right on target yesterday. It snowed most of the day, but melted away by dinner time.
It's a good thing I was home too. I went outside for something and heard Misty (another lamancha goat) crying out in the goat fence. I was confused, because the barn door had not been opened for them to be out yet.

Elderberry Bushes (trees) ~ Fun Mail
The ground is very wet here yet, so we can't work in any of the garden beds. I did however, put more coffee grounds and egg shells in them.

142 Recycled Post Marked Postage Stamps ~ Saturday Rambles
In the midst of a mad-woman cleaning day, I ran across a box of printed cardstock that was storing an unfinished project.
