Good morning, my friends. It was such a pretty day yesterday, and unexpectedly warm. My usual morning routine was still intact, though. I took the first stitches on the ninth block for the Snowmen and Reindeer. I stitched their faces first so that we could chat while I stitched the rest of their bodies. (Doesn’t everyone do that?)

It's been almost a month since the last post on our photo challenge. This new deck of cards we started late last year has some challenging subjects, such as this one:
My Guy and I were going to go photograph at our local skate park. He got there first and took this photo.
All that remains of the skate park is the sign and a slab. The skate park was opened in 2020 and was really nice. I've searched our local news sources, but don't find any info on why it was removed.
We decided to end ...
read moreGood morning, my friends. The morning is "good" despite being a grocery shopping day. The sky is clouded over and we're expecting more rain, but it's good sewing weather. That makes the day "good" by definition.
It was a productive day here yesterday. I stitched up the 48th Tiny Treasure. This one has stem stitch, fishbone stitch, and satin stitch.

Good morning, my friends. Before I say another word, please join me in wishing this handsome hunka mancat a very happy 14th birthday.
My, oh my. How time flies. It seems only yesterday we brought home this little squirt.

Good morning, my friends. It was a good and tiring day yesterday. As I mentioned, my friend Sue and I walked across a newly-opened pedestrian bridge in the neighboring community of Sherwood yesterday. We started on the far side of the bridge and walked across to where the new high school is located.

Good morning, my friends. It was such a beautiful day yesterday, how could I resist getting outside for a walk? Truth is...I couldn't. First, though, I needed to stitch Tiny Treasure #41:
This one has French knots, stem stitch, fly stitch, backstitch, and lazy daisy.
With that finished, I walked around the house to see what was blooming. As I mentioned in yesterday's post, the cherry trees are starting to bloom. It's a good time for them, with plenty of sunshine in the forecast for the coming week. We're hoping for plenty of cherries this ...

read moreGood morning, my friends, and a fine morning it is! The sun is shining, and it's still warm from yesterday's nice weather. It's going to cool off a little bit by tomorrow, but then we're looking at warmer weather for the remainder of the week. Is it possible that spring has sprung? I sure hope so.
There was no negotiating about getting in some exercise yesterday. I forced myself onto the treadmill, and I felt better for it. There's no way to know for sure if it gave me more energy for the remainder of ...

read moreGood morning, my friends. We're pretty happy about our weekend weather...although the weekend has nothing to do with it when you're retired. Every day is Saturday. In any case, we're gearing up for the warmest weather so far this year...into the 70's today and tomorrow. Hopefully, we'll be able to eat outside for the first time.
Yesterday was another busy day, and it ended with a wonderful family dinner. Before I did anything else, I spent a little time on my slow stitching. This is Tiny Treasure #38. It has stem stitch, backstitch ...

read moreGood morning, my friends. Our weather seems to have taken a turn for the better. We were expecting rain all this week. Yesterday turned into a pretty nice day, and it's even nicer today. It makes me happy since we're getting together with the fam. It's always nicer when we're not confined to the house. The temperatures this weekend are supposed to reach into the 70's. That's what I'm talkin' about! If our dreams come true, we'll be able to eat outside on Sunday for the first time this year.

read moreGood morning, my friends. It's going to be a busy day. In addition to a few housekeeping chores on the day's agenda, I'm going to do a couple of make-ahead dishes for our family dinner tomorrow. On today's list is creme brulee (just the custard for now), and some deviled Easter eggs. I was happy to find some beautiful fresh asparagus at the grocery store yesterday. That will be for tomorrow, and our dinner is shaping up nicely.

read moreGood morning, my friends. Beware. Pranksters will be out tomorrow. It's never to soon to make plans for defending yourself. We have a trip to the grocery store planned. Do you think we can April Fools Day our way into some free groceries? I'm thinking you do your debit card, then reverse the charges, and yell, "April Fools!" Yeah...probably not, but it has me thinking.
So yesterday I made good on my threat to get outside and clean up the culinary herb garden. There was an alarming amount of grass growing in some places. Grass can't ...
