Breeze

Love a cool summer breeze. Ah, bliss,sigh~

Panzanella

Love, love , love Panzanella Salad. Of course I am a bread junkie. Yum!

Tree Houses

I like living in my Tree House. Well it is not actually a tree house. you see it sits on the edge of a little ridge and the hill slope steeply down so I am at tree top level. I love being able to see off in the distance.

I also have the advantage of being able to see the wildlife at all levels. Ground level has opossums, worms, lizards, turtles, salamanders, foxes, deer, roadrunners, snakes & rabbits.

Mid level of low branches and tall shrubs have small birds, praying mantis, lady bugs & butterflies.

Tree tops are larger song birds, squirrels, hawks, crows.

There is always something to watch from the tree house.

Long Night

It is going to be a long night. Actually the next 3 days are going to long since we are in the middle of the bullseye for severe storms. Basement is almost step up. Think I will just leave it set up over the winter so I don't have to go through all this work next year. Well off to watch some more radar. Everyone stay safe.

One Step Closer

It has been a long winter, short spring and now summer is here . I'M NOT READY. Oh well, it is here.

Master Classes

Well, I decided to jump off the pier into the deep water this last weekend. I just decided to start my Master Knitting Certification classes. I also decided to start at the very basics. Hopefully I can complete all of these courses before my grandchildren graduate from college.

So back to knitting. Have a wonderful evening.

P.S. These wonderful hats patterns were designed by Jared Flood. He has the most beautiful designs. You can find him on Ravelry or at Brooklyn Tweed

Rain Clouds!!!! Southern Missouri is floating down stream already. I know one thing for sure - 12 inches of rain is a huge amount of water.

Time Phlys

Time passes at warp speed these day. Spring weather has developed it's own schizophrenic personality.

First we have snow, then heat close to 90, then cold below freezing, then back into the 70's, and now...... Does someone have an Ark we can borrow? In the last week we have had 10 inches of rain. Spring is usually 2 to 4 inches. Clouds, rain, hail, tornadoes,and wind. pond and creeks are flowing over.

But this is Missouri so give us 5 minutes and the weather will change.

Spring

Seven days ago the temperature was 80 degrees. Alas today it is below freezing but there is still beauty.

Peace

There is a time in the night when all is at peace. The world is silent. Nothing stirs, there is no sound. It is a time of rest.

Lord, bid war's trumpet cease;
Fold the whole earth in peace.
~Oliver Wendell Holmes

Spring

Spring has sprung here. Today I mowed but only about an acre, started tilling the garden and discovered a new fun play toy. The best part is it is free!

I love to read but I also love to knit. I have always had problem knitting while reading. Balancing book, knitting directions, yarn and needle was just beyond my capacity. So I discovered Kindle for my PC and since I have a 13" laptop I can now read books and knit at the same time.

The best part is that most of the great classics are free and so is the Kindle app.

I love reading the classics. This is a very good spring indeed.

Water

Water in it's mild forms is gentle, comforting & beautiful. When it becomes vicious it is horrific. Please remember the people of Japan. Most if the deaths are not from the earthquake it was the tsunami. They had 20 to 30 minutes from the time of the hardest earthquake to the tsunami to get to the highest point nearby.

Prayers for the people of Japan.

Stop the World.

Today started out with me being, literally, dizzy. Since my Meniere's disease has decided to flare I have been riding a tilt-a-wheel almost every day. Not getting much done. This to shall pass.

Spring is almost here. We change time next weekend. Now if we can get rid of this cold raw weather. I am ready for the red bud and dogwood to bloom. The grass to green and the trees to leaf out.

I love spring.

Ahh Saturday

Saturday has turned into food day.

Made yogurt it won't be ready until tonight or tomorrow. Vegetables ready to go into the oven for roasting. Love roasted veggies. They can be eaten as they are or in a stew or blended down into a mole for burritos.

Next is to do the refried beans and rice. Now off to make bread and then maybe some orange & yogurt "ice cream".

Good eats the rest of the weeks!

I know

I know that I didn't blog yesterday. Yesterday's schedule was up early and out the door. Not home until dinner time. I had a great time all day. Just no time to blog. So I will forgive myself and go on.

Today made Lemon Drops cookies and had my hair cut. I have the absolute best young lady who cuts my hair. She is my youngest daughters bestest friend, great mom., wife & a so kind.

So tonight I need to knit. Which I may do. Then again I may not, haven't decided yet.

It is about time!

I am making some changes in this blog and my life.
1) I am going to blog every day except when I have no internet connection.
2) I am going to get rid of some more of the clutter in my life.
3) I am going to stop making so many plan and go with the flow more.
4) I am going to stop feeling guilty about doing nothing.
5) I will stop now because I am getting bored.

Tomorrow on to doctors and a lovely day with one of my girls.
Now back to Tasty Kitchen.I love a good recipe and they have many.

Nothing

Today is one of those nothing days. I don't want to knit. I don't want housework. I actually want to so nothing. But I must do something. I have a deadline to meet. I dislike deadlines actually love the sound as deadlines go quizzing by ( line borrowed from Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy). I want to go sledding. I want to walk in the snow while it is snowing. I want to eat. I want to cook and I want to eat.

So because of circumstances beyond my control. I must do things I don't wish to do and by pass things I would love to do.

The End
