The impact weather has on us...

 Hello to you this Thursday morning,

Just enjoying my early morning coffee and bowl of porridge thinking about weather or rather trying NOT to think about weather. Things were so much better a few weeks ago when we had no snow and the bare ground was visible all around and ones mind thought of the coming summer and ability to sit out. I even put two chairs on our patio and had lunch outside one day sitting in the sun, and did an early morning walkabout one early morning, with my coffee in hand. Not so right now. It keeps snowing and blowing and I keep having to shovel again. And the plough just went by again after another night of snow and cold. Keeps me busy trying to monitor the temps in both greenhouses.  The heavy and frequent wind gusts all day and last evening prompted me to get the two propane heaters at the ready in case I had to do a quick switch if the hydro went out. Fortunately that did not happen....but I was ready 😉

I watched the first half of Canada's Ladies Curling last evening before bed. I lasted until the end of the fifth end but had to crawl into bed as my eyes were closing on me. But thank goodness I have the option of checking the WFP in the morning to get the results. Yeah Canada!

The other day I finished cutting out all the rectangles of fabric I think I need to create a few blocks of the Potato Chip Block that I saw on The Quilt Show. I put a sample block together (without sewing it) and took a picture that they say will tell you if the tone and value of the arrangement is ok. I still could not really tell, but it is all put away for now. I will take it out another time but it was fun to do what I did do. 😊

Have a fair to middling day today my sisters. Take care of yourselves. and be kind to yourself. Love XX 🥰

The energy-sucking garage sale panic is over.

  We both made it through the day without faltering, very much looking forward to a good nap once things were over.  But then were so high couldn't sleep.  Both Loren and Amber were there to help us, with Amber stopping at Tim's for breakfast on her way.   I was up and immediately dressed at 7:00 (Omg!  It even hurts to be able to say that)  Then off in the car to set up 5 signs.  Of course, each stop one has to find a place to park, get out of the car, place the sign, and reverse the process.  That finished, I parked in the mall across the way, pulled my walker out of the car, and trudged off home.  I was so glad to have the walker during the day, mainly because the float was hidden in the small zipper compartment in the walker and I sat on it most of the day.  We moved the patio table and umbrella to the front yard.  Amber and I spent most of the day there, while Loren and Dave spent their time in the garage, until later in t...

Baking

  Yesterday I forgot to mention that I've become concerned about how much money we've been spending on muffins.  So I decided to try baking them on my own.  We got rid of all my baking pans at the garage sale so had to make a trip to Dollarama for a new one.  It's silicone and soft and wiggly, but also dishwasher safe.  I've made some Blueberry muffins that didn't rise very well.  Turned out the baking powder was over a year past it's "best before" date.  Went out and bought more. I've found recipes on-line for Banana Chocolate Chip, Chocolate, and another Blueberry that uses frozen berries rather than thawed--great--as all of mine are Frozen.  I'm also going to look for a recipe for Bran, but not today.

Yes. It is Sunday again

  Time keeps passing. Faster and faster every day. We had freezing rain last night and this morning but it seems to have stopped for now, but that damp chill goes right through me!  Lucky and Ally are both sleeping so is almost like having time to myself. I did walk Lucky this morning but we stayed off the road. We went around the trail cause it wasn’t icy. Less dangerous for both of us. I snuggled down this weekend but I will have to venture out tomorrow.  Hopefully the roads will be clear. They don’t look bad right now so it is promising. I get my flu shot on Wednesday and Ally has a vet appointment on Friday. And I’m going to call for a lawyer appointment tomorrow.  Chloe is going to have her “old people” birthday party on the 18th. Kik and I will go together. And I told Kik I would go to Winnipeg with her on the 14th. I hate the time change. I was awake very early this morning, even though Lucky stayed sleeping until 6:30!  It’s just going to be an extra lon...
