What got me dreaming...

Plant a Survival Garden

I found this: http://livingthecraftlife.blogspot.com/2013/05/go-to-skinny-scarf-free-pattern.html. online & started on it, but mine is beginning to look very different for some reason...

Dreaming & Gardening

Watching vids on survival gardening & dreaming about warmer days. One of my favorite website is:

Stones & Beds

I took up all the natural stones that I bought in Coldwater last year and replaced them with square foot concrete stones (45 of them!). I'm not happy with the aesthetics but maybe we can actually see where to walk with these. Raked up some of the leaves (again!) & blew all the rest off all three decks. Moved the chimnea to the middle of the back deck. Cleaned & mopped the sunroom. Cierra helped me move one of the twin beds to the shed - after I cleaned that out too. Let the cats stay in all day & sleep while the dogs stayed out, either on a tie out or the porch run. Watched some survival garden vids & took THREE hot baths because my muscles were SO sore!!

Crochet & Leaves

Yesterday I finished crocheting all the center "stars" for my Celtic Lace Afghan (or so I thought). I stopped at JoAnn's on my way to the city and intended to pick up a skein of Vanna's Choice in Burgundy, but as they were on sale I bought all they had (4 @ $2.49 vs reg $3.99). Today I was weaving in the last few Banana-colored stars and realized one was a petal short. I mounted them on my nail peg board and went upstairs to take a nap as heartburn was driving me insane - especially the constant burping! Watched a couple of Doomsday Prepper videos from the UK & Les Stroud's Off The Grid. For inspired and went outside and burned half of the leaves from the lower yard. Jerry caught his first mouse and brought it up on the porch to show me, I guess. He wouldn't quit playing with the dead thing & he had the complete fascination of Tom, so I finally had to take it away. Nitro tried humping him and he's so laid back he was allowing it! Smh... So now I'm making Red Beans & Rice with Italian Sausage and thinking I probably need to bathe & get rid of this smokey smell before my daughter gets home...
