Is it here

 Woke again to sunshine, went for our walk and took off my mitts, scarf and unzipped my coat as it was such a nice day.  Is Spring just around the corner. I hope so.  My thermometer is registering 10*C. and  snow is melting, however, it is going to take more than one day to get rid of all this white stuff.  Maybe the rain we are forecast to get later today and tomorrow will help.

There was a red winged blackbird at the feeder this morning and I thought I saw a robin in the field across the street,   signs??? usually they are the first indications of warmer weather as they need to eat the bugs as they emerge from their Winter hibernation.   

Cleaned bathrooms and kitchen today, so they are all as spic and span as they can get.  Plan on starting a new project this afternoon, which will be the one I will also do for my demonstration next month.

This sunshine does make me feel so much better.

Have a great day,

Cheers.

Window open

 Only window open is in our bedroom, I like to have some fresh air come in, even in the Winter.  I close the bedroom door so the furnace does not come on more than it should.  It gets cold in there but, once the sun has moved around the window will be shut again.   I cannot wait until I can turn off the heat, fling open all the doors and windows to get all of the stale air out.   All of the windows need a good cleaning too,, I can only do the ones in the living room, others are just impossible, for me to reach or even get to.   The screens collect the dirt, so when it rains hard against the windows, all of that dirt get on them too. 

Do you open your windows in the Winter?

It is a lovely day, sun shining, still cold but, we cannot do anything about it.   We did go for our walk this morning

Was going to do errands yesterday however, it was so cold and blustery, they did not get done, will do that this afternoon.

Nothing else planned at the moment,

Have a great day

Cheers.

Old Mother Hubbard

 Went to her cupboard..............and now it is full as well as the fridge, she now has food for another week.   We got groceries today, a Tuesday ritual, why Tuesday, I have no idea.   Could be in the past, the B B Q chickens were on sale on Tuesdays, not any more.  Did get a break on a few things that we normally buy, as they were on sale.   Cheerio's  was one of the sale items, I really do not understand the  logic but, the large family size, which is quite a large box, was on sale for $5.49, the small I  will call it the regular size was also on sale for $5.89.   Why would anyone buy a small box when you can get twice as much cereal for less money.   I am sure the powers that be have an explanation.   What day do you usually get your weekly groceries?

Windy and cold feeling like -13*C today, so tired of Winter, weather man indicated it will warm up later this week with rain.  Just warm up enough to get rid of this snow and I would be happy.

Need to do a couple of errands today, printer ink, and also see if the sewing machine store is open today.

Dinner tonight is chicken, asparagus and some rice.   

Have a great day.

Cheers.

When will it end

 Winter, I am so tired of cold, clouds and snow, which by the way more of it is forecast for today.  

Today, what am I doing today, 

First ...we put all the clocks forward an hour this morning, we never seem to do it at night when we go to bed.  A short day, I always seem to have a slight feeling of jet lag when the clocks change.

Second... will pull together the information, fabric and start on the project I will be giving a demonstration on next month at our guild meeting.  Looking forward to doing this, don't understand why as usually I am not comfortable speaking in front of a crowd of people but, as long as I am well prepared, what can go wrong.

Third....get myself cleaned up and presentable, I will be taking my son and daughter in law out for dinner tonight.  They will be busy doing things with their grand daughter at Easter, so this dinner is my Easter dinner with them.

UPDATE

This post was yesterday's and I did all three of the above.

Nice  to have an evening of light tonight.

Got all the information together for the presentation.

Had a lovely dinner, appetizer delicious, salmon cooked perfectly and all washed down with some nice white wine.

Glad I don't do the bill paying often,   $ $ $'s   we had a nice visit and scrumptious food  that's all that matters.

Today, Monday:

Cloudy with a few flakes of snow which melted on contact while we were walking this morning.   Continued throughout the day,  was hoping for some sun to break through the clouds, unfortunately that did not happen.  

My sewing machine still is not working as I think it should, took it back to the shop, only to find it closed today.  Try again tomorrow, on I will call them first. 

Today is my eldest great grand son's birthday, 13 years old, where did that time go.   Good God women you are old.   He is a nice young man, very thoughtful and kind.   Also, very handsome, he will have the girls after him one of these days.

 Have a great day/evening.

Cheers.

Another day

 Same stuff happening, so nothing interesting to talk about today.

Ii would just be boring stuff any way,  just checking in to blog land to let everyone know I  am still amoung the living.

Have a great day.

Cheers.

Here it comes again

 Yes, it is snowing again.....just as some of the previous storm was melting we are suppose to get another dumping.   Winter's last fling, I certainly hope so.

No walking for me today, the street looks too slippery to take any chances.

We had a disturbing, disturbing to me anyway, phone call this morning from the young man who owns the house next door.  He is rarely there as he has a job that takes him all over the world.  The house has cameras located inside and outside of the house, which he can access on his phone no matter where he is.  This modern technology is mind blowing.  He was calling to advise there was a man knocking at his front door, last night and the night before at 2:00 a.m.   The call was to let us know so we make sure to lock our doors, which we do religiously.   Makes me feel very uncomfortable when I hear people are roaming around at all hours of the night.   Some time ago we did have a break in. 

A couple of weeks ago I spent a small fortune to have my sewing machine checked over as I was having an issue with the bobbin case.   All fixed!!!  still have the same problem, it was going back today, however, with this weather, it can wait until the roads are in better shape.

Dinner tonight is still a mystery, 

Have a great day.

Cheers.

Pedi

 It was such a lovely day yesterday, wall to wall sunshine, still cold but we can't expect much more than that at this time of the year.

We went for our walk in the morning, walking around the block gets us facing the wind for one leg of the trip, for the last portion of the walk  the wind is at our back and the sun full on our face,  which was actually warm, felt so good.  

Still not wanting to stay in the house, I took myself for a pedicure,  then went to purchase some flowers and birthday cake for my second eldest granddaughter.    A nice afternoon being pampered just for a little while and a lovely visit with D and her family.   Her children all arrived home  from school, all full of chatter.

Another sunny day again today, however, clouds are starting to arrive in time for the forecast snow we are getting tomorrow.   Early walk which was nice once again.

Dinner tonight, turkey, dressing, gravy left over from Christmas along with some brussel sprouts.  Don''t know what I would do without my freezer, it is so handy for taking care of left overs.  Warming them by putting them in the microwave and they taste as if made today.  

Have a great day.

Cheers.
