This is Vince's old pickup . . with the windshield safely protected from any big hail that might have fallen last night. Glad you aren't my neighbor? :) The hail can damage the body but if it cracks the windshield, that would have to be replaced so it was safely protected by cardboard. We got very little small hail so the cardboard was not needed but better safe than sorry. The weather ...
Drama Queen
This wasn't funny when it was happening but I can't stop laughing about it now. Vince had taken Rita out this morning and he came back and said "She was just walking along and all of a sudden she stopped and wouldn't put any weight on her left front leg. She was holding it straight up in the air like "Pick me! Pick me!" We have a ton of dandelions in the yard and they are full of bees. ...
The April Fool’s Day Start
It was back in February that Denise came up with the idea for the April Fool's Day start. I wrote about my plans here. I bought the chart and copied it to a PDF so I could work from a tablet. I ordered Vikki Clayton's silks and never got around to deciding what fabric I would use. I had been saying for a week that I needed to figure out which fabric to use so yesterday evening I started going ...
Stormy Monday

I said "I don't know but I'm going to be ready just in case." I picked up things that had landed in the safe room that didn't need to be in there. I knew there were some things stacked in there from ...
A New Microgreens Set Up
In November, 2020 I started growing microgreens. It's been hit or miss - mostly because I didn't have a great place to do it. The sun room works great when the weather is mild. In the summer, it's too hot. In the winter it's too cold. I can also use the greenhouse at certain times of the year but, for the most part, I've been doing it in front of a sunny window and it's been one or two 10 x 10" ...
A Wonderful Saturday
Chad and Vince were supposed to go fishing today. Nicole was working this weekend so Addie called me yesterday and asked "If I come down with Dad tomorrow, will you take me to Sephora?" I told her yes . . even though you know how much I don't like shopping. Then she asked "Can we eat at Cane's?" which is where we ate last Saturday when they were in town. Again, I said yes. Chad and Addie ...
