SPRING 2011

2011-03-11T16:04:00.000-08:00

Well I am certainly ready for it. Some of the trees and bushes are budding, hearing some
new tweets outside, and the wind is mild, not harsh and biting like it was in the winter.
Looking forward to spring flowers more than ever this year. Winter was hard on everyone.
Spring fever is just around the corner!
Preparing some more picture frames for Etsy, and have a healthy amount of other nice
items listed. Sold several purses that friend gave me, on Ebay. I in turn, bought some
much needed things and am going to try a new craft, needle punch. Every new craft
needs lots of expensive start up materials.... the most expensive in rug hooking and
needle punch is the frame. I learned the hard way, you must have a frame. I have had
tendonitis in my hand for at least 6-9 months because of the strain of rug-hooking without
a frame, but hey, i made $15 bucks selling my completed items on Ebay! worth it? NOT!
See? I'm learning if only the hard way.....
turn your clock ahead Saturday night!

Well this year has certainly gone by fast, almost Christmas! I treated myself
to a new family member, she really needed a home, she's 8 years old, has cataracts
a bit deaf but is the sweetest little gal.

Who can give up something like this? Merry Christmas to me!

Where's Summer Gone

2010-07-25T16:55:00.000-07:00

July 25. Hot outside, which it certainly should be. I've not checked to see if there are the usual buzzings of critters in the trees and grass yet this year, I know I missed the little frog peeper sounds in the Spring, mainly because we had a cold, cold Spring and it really JUST started feeling like summer only 4 weeks ago.
I have a peach tree. It has 7, no 6, peaches on it. Keith went out and pulled one of the peaches down yesterday. The tree's blossoms must have frozen, usually I have to prop the tree branches up, it's usually so laden with peaches. Oh and we have huge bushy tomato plants. NO tomatoes! strange, like I said! We're using the tomato plants as a green ornamental because they certainly aren't acting like tomato plants. Like I said, wierd season.

Spring has finally Sprung here in Boise. The temps actually are above 70 and
staying there for the most part. This spring was C.O.L.D. Good rains tho so we
won't have a drought later this summer.
Welcome SUMMER, I AM SO READY FOR YOU!

Easter

2010-04-04T14:16:00.000-07:00

Well Easter's here and tomorrow I'll be ready to decorate for another holiday. What's next, I'll have to check. Perhaps the 4th of July? It hasn't even gotten warm here yet! 50's, cool and windy.
Happy Sunday irregardless!

St. Patty's

2010-03-12T16:57:00.000-08:00

St. Patty's Day and Easter, so close to each other! Never mind that we push our clocks ahead 1 hour, Spring Ahead, Saturday. Lose an hour of sleep. Oh well, WELCOME SPRING!!!

Happy V Day!

2010-01-16T19:22:00.000-08:00

Here's to the BEST Valentines Day ever! I have my lights to do up my office, they are so cute, pink led's, clear strands, with several settings. I am so ready!

WELCOME 2010!!!

2010-01-01T10:26:00.001-08:00

What a fabulous start to the New Year! I am extremely optomistic, this new year WILL be better than last year! Welcome New Year while we stand, heart to heart and hand in hand!

Fall and Thanksgiving

2009-11-07T10:18:00.000-08:00

Lovely Fall, cool, brown and gold, sweater and coat time. Outside plants are now inside in various wierd places to catch the light, I put my Christmas Cactus right next to the window, it should get gobs of buds and flowers on it around Christmas... Here in Boise today it is a bit windy, around 45-50 degrees, perfect for raking leaves. Welcome Fall and Thanksgiving, you are coming too
fast but I still love you.

October - BOO!

2009-10-12T09:15:00.000-07:00

Not sure where September went, but I am so into October! Lots of shadows outside,
turned cold here in Idaho, very dry so send some rain! Leaves haven't changed yet
because it's frozen lightly only once. Welcome October!

August

2009-08-21T16:52:00.001-07:00

101 dry Boise degrees farenheit. Send rain.....

August, 2009

2009-07-31T17:36:00.001-07:00

Already? Halloween stuff in the stores, 100 days until Xmas? Whaaat?
OMG! Weather in the 90's right now, heavenly!!! We could use a little
rain here in Idaho but then we had such a cool/cold spring and early summer
I am not complaining, the tomatoes could ripen a bit faster however!

July 2009

2009-07-11T11:13:00.000-07:00

July already, going so fast! It seems it just started warming up here and now lovely... garden
is growing like crazy, I am overly ambitious in that part of my yard, maybe need to plant a bit less. Neighbor said I am ambitious in what I am growing, but not to ambitious when it comes to the weeding part! ha ha! Oh well, isn't that what grass clippings are for? And in the process, going a teeny bit "green". I may not separate my plastics from my tin cans, but I do compost... And shop at thrift stores to yet re-use something that has some life still in it!
Farewell for now..

Hot June Nights

2009-06-25T19:49:00.000-07:00

Finally! Heat! Seriously, this has been the coolest, rainiest Spring/Summer I've seen in my 15 years here in Idaho. But I am not complaining mind you, there is NO hose to drag around, no need to water plants! The tomato plants don't seem to be happy however, didn't they originally come from AFrica? Where it's a billion dry degrees, they adore HEAT! So maybe, with it warming up, we'll get some yummy 'maters this year yet! Here's to a great SUMMER!

2009-05-15T19:59:00.000-07:00

Well Winter is over, but there was no real Spring, it was cold, and will be 90 by monday. wierd weather, huh?! I'll be glad of the warmth tho, planting garden this weekend, yeah!!! Now to keep puppy out of the garden! Cheers!

Easter

2009-03-07T20:35:00.000-08:00

Easter is coming so fast this year, remember to change your clocks, "Spring Ahead"
tonight or you will be late for your appointments tomorrow!

Oh My

2009-02-19T19:49:00.000-08:00

I truly saw my first robin today. I mean it was actually a decent day, in the 50's, I did not
see the robin's cold breath, so that must mean Spring is almost here! I smelled the earth
on a walk today, it was coming up out of the ground and it is SO ready to grow! You GO
Mother Earth! Start coming alive!!!

February already?

2009-01-27T17:30:00.000-08:00

Time flies, I cannot believe the month of Jan is almost over. Ready for Spring!

It's the New Year!

2009-01-16T14:47:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year to all! I've set my sights high this year and am going to
accomplish many of the goals I've set for myself! Mostly about ME but
some goals for my shop, I hope you will take a look at the new items I've
just set out!
