the wall is so darn variable for me!

can't plan for it, just have to cope.

and it comes a LOT sooner if I have something ELSE going on (sinus, back-ache, etc)

many days, ALL I get done is my one-hour-each AM and PM feeding chores.

lol, Finny, my house hasn't been swept in three WEEKS!

;)

Kay thanks for the pep talk..I know a dx wont really help me hehehehe

the way you said I could pick thru the pictures on your site..thought maybe you had some graffic ones lol..hehehehe

Von, yes very coldddd burrrrrrr, our house apparently isnt insulated too too well..the old house..so once a day goes with below 0 temps...and these winds so high.....well lets say indoors in some of our house it is maybe 61 or 62...
glad you do taxes that is a good way for income...hubby used to do that for friends in Boston area when we lived there.

hUGSSS to all, sarah

Crazy weather going on again. It's in the single digits right now with windchills in the negatives. We have a winter storm warning for tonight. Hope all stay safe.

Just trying to wake up this morning. Not sure why, but have been having nightmares the past few nights. :( Definitely doesn't make for a good night's sleep.

Hoping the coffee hurries up and kicks in, LOL :D

:hug:

Hey everyone! I took a break from the computer this weekend to just focus on family time! Finished my flower beds and they are all ready for spring planting! I made a large pendant for a necklace in my glass class am going to start taking some fusing and slumping classes with a girl cause hubby is buying me my own kiln! Went to the beach and picked up sea glass....cooked a couple of meals did a little laundry....but overall just goofed about!

Renee, Sounds like you had a great weekend! :cool: The kiln sounds so cool! Hope you have fun with it. Your DH is a sweetie.

ERRR-er-er?

sort of a truncated baby-crow. :rolleyes: :D :cool:

as for the coffee, found a NEW grinder yesterday... so, fresh-ground Guatemalan beans just went into my drip coffeemaker, after a WEEK's abstinence!

YAY !!

:Trapeze 2: :trampoline: :Excited: :trampoline: :Trapeze 2:

and here's my update thing-a-ma-jigger-dealie-bopper:

today was the BIG day for the most recent batch of ducklings...

the gate on their safety pen was opened to the big wide world, and they made their first ventures out into the "general population" at 7 am.

brave little duckies... first they followed the "Salad Lady" (that'd be me, trailing greens galore) all the way to the guinea hutch, exploring everything along the way, then... they got REALLY courageous, and trooping after Mama Buffy and Mama Choco, the nine babies checked out our pond...

wheeeeeeee!!!

oh, and I couldn't find a photo of my rooster Halloween, so I tracked him down, and he graciously posed for my camera:

(sorry it's a wee bit blurry, this was taken BEFORE I had coffee :D )

and, from the bonus photo dept: a hummingbird nest at my friend's house:

and here's the mama hummingbird on her nest:

I think it's a Canivet's Emerald Hummer

:p:p:p Too cute!

Sabimax - How was the game?

AwifeRM - We want pictures! I'm awfully jealous!

Fin - I'd give anything if the weather would get one way and STAY for a while here. We keep swinging back and forth between 70 degrees to 30 degrees. The sudden change KILLS me. I have to admit some of those winter storms around the country are just incredible!

Vonn - Glad you had fun shopping.

Gotta go. BUSY BUSY day today

Renee ... what's sea glass?? good for you that you enjoyed that!!
(ps .. make sure you leave room for us when we come to visit - I know .. you're going to take the spare room and make it into your craft room!)

thanks for the congrats on everything ... still have heat and water ... and it's still 12 below .. but the sun is shining and there isn't that cutting wind ..

off I go ... things to do, people to see ... OH, I designed and cut out and sewn an 'ergo-shopping-bag' last night ... going to make some for a craft show for next month ...

later ... luv yas!!

Well, we have stuff to be proud of here in Minnesota (read that VERY sarcastically)..International Falls finally won the decision on being called "The Nation's Icebox"..Yep, it was a serious competition and has gone on for years with Fraser, CO. This morning, Fraser was a toasty 20 above. International Falls? 40 BELOW..And that was the air temp. Didn't hear what the windchill was. They're excited up there 'cause now they can print up official banners, posters, mailers etc..Maybe get some tourism going (but probably not in winter..LOL)..
