Winter Can Be Over Now!

All the decorations are down and packed away for another year.  Now I just have to wait until the rain stops so I can take the boxes to the shed.  At the rate it is raining I will probably need a boat to transport them.

 

Penny has started a new project.  She lays on the kitchen floor staring at the base of the sink cabinet.  I have gotten on the floor to see what she is staring at, but I cannot see a thing.  Oh well, at least it gives her something to do.

Yesterday I downloaded pictures of Mattie that Jana had taken to my computer.  Since Jana doesn’t have a printer I printed some 4x6’s, 5x7’s and one 8x10.  They turned out really good.  She is going to do a collage with the 4x6’s.  We just need to get to Walmart or Hobby Lobby to find a frame.  By the way, my new printer worked wonderfully!

 

As most of you know, I love to read.  James Patterson is one of my favorite authors.  I have been reading some of his books known as bookshots.  I have enjoyed a couple, but I think most of them are pretty dumb.  Just an observation J  When Jana leaves I will go back to doing crafts.  I have a whole list of projects, and since I am feeling better who knows what all I will accomplish!

 

Jana and I both bought one of those new small Polaroid cameras.  They work well, however, the pictures are really small and the paper is rather expensive.  Anyway, it’s fun to play with.  We both need a lot of practice though.  And, if I want to save the pictures to download on my computer I will have to buy a microchip.  Oh well, live and learn.

 

Jana had this small quilted piece made for me for Christmas.  I love it and wanted to share.  At first I was just going to hang it as it, but then I decided to frame it.  It looks great as you can see!

We sure were lucky yesterday (Monday).  We did not have a tornado but we had plenty of thunder, lightning, some wind and almost seven inches of rain.  It was pretty rough for a while.  This morning the sun is out and there are just a few clouds.  According to the weather reports we could have snow flurries here by this weekend.  J

 

This morning was really busy.  Jana is doing her laundry.  I cleaned the living room which included moving furniture.  Really needed it.  Sure smells good.  I fabrezed all the furniture, curtains and rugs.  Kevin and Ryan moved all my boxes to the shed.  Yea!  We have some room to move around now.

 

Okay, it is cold.  I am going to complain.  I know it isn’t as cold here as a lot of you are experiencing right now, but when it goes down in the 20’s with wind chill in the teens that is really cold for us.  I am dripping the water at night now so it doesn’t freeze.  The wind is blowing hard which makes the cold even more miserable.  When Jana takes Mattie outside to do her business Mattie pees and poops faster than any dog I have ever seen.  Kevin has covered the lemon trees so they hopefully will survive. 

 

Okay – winter can be over now.  We have had 24 hours of cold weather.
