White is a good color!

What a difference two days make. I was ready to start my garden(yes I know we are still in Jan) But the difference in all the shades of brown are getting me down. I want color!!!!!!! The Lord listened to me...we are now covered with beautiful white snow. So beautiful, and even nicer since my dh takes care of the outside for me. He wouldn't even let me go and pick my meds. He is very wise, he knows I'm not good in snow.
I found a mag. called Hobby Farm Home. I bought it because is shows how to make Mozzarella Cheese, can't wait to try it, but it is a great mag. has a little of everything in it.
I love to grow spinach!!!!!!!!!! And this year I plan to plant a lot. The bad thing is it doesn't like hot weather. I found in the book a spinach substitue and it loves hot weather. Yah, only I can't find anyone who knows where to find it. It vines up and could grow in a pot. Another good thing. The mag. has a web site so I will have to go there , I know when you have to go to their web site it will cost an arm and a leg. I really don't want to find out I can't get it!
Spring is just a day closer, Yah!

should I laugh or cry

This weekend I fixed bbq wings for my hubby. I really don't like them but for lack of anything else to eat ,I had two wings. Hate the mess and almost no meat. Plus all the work for very little. Well , as I was getting messy and thinking it was just to much mess, it hit me. When I was a little girl and on the farm. My mom would fry up chicken (first she had to chase it and kill it, but that is another story) we would start out getting the wings to eat. As we grew up, we worked up to the drum stick and then the thigh. We never got to go up further than that because the adults would eat them. So at last, I have started working backwords again. Can you believe that hot wings are the thing to eat now. And you pay big buck for the wings that have no meat and little kids get stuck eating them. Ug, that is probably why I don't like anything but the white meat(the breast). My hubby doesn't understand why I don't love the bbq wings.....I guess you had to be there to understand.

Another day.

Well, I finally got started on Christmas. I have finally found something that I can do and it looks beautiful. Not anything I'm doing just the thing that I'm doing. Can't wait to see everyones face.
I have been going through all my cook books hoping to see something great that I haven't tried, but still go back to the same old cookies and candies. My dh is complaining about all the books that are stacking up, plus I finally went through all my mag. and tore out all the things I wanted to make,notsure if I will ever get around to useing them but they were to good to toss.
It is cold today and I want to bake something, but I have so much to do not sure if I will get to it.
I found this in one of my mag. and just loved it.
A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor man perfected without trials.
So when trouble comes, it always does, I hope to remember this.
May the Lord wrap you in his arm until I can wrap you in mine. love m

Ug!

Well today is rainy and gloomy. And I feel just that! Just found another idea for Christmas gifts. I go between yah and oh well. Everyday goes just like the other and I haven't started a blasted thing. I get what I need to get done but nothing for Christmas. I'm not sure a promise note will do. I know I will feel better when I can get started but mdh doesn't like anything in his way and with a small house that is impossible. I have started telling him that this year I want the Christmas tree up, and he looks at the table by his chair(that is where the tree needs to go, the only place it fits) and he would have to give up putting his things on the table. May I say it went over like a lead balloon. I have to ask, is it worth the struggle with him or just give up again and not feel like Christmas again. Time will tell.
I feel like we are going back to "The Little House on the Praire", all homemade things, I dearly love it when I get such special things, but I feel bad when I think that my family will only get homemade things. Wonder why I feel that way. Maybe , it is because I really don't do things very well. I just tell them, it is the thought that counts. Now that I see that statement, it sound very shallow. I think I will start to make bread this afternoon, that will make me feel better, just the smell will up my spirit. Hug your dear ones and hold them close, there is nothing that can make you feel great. love m

Well, winter came a bit early, Ug! I was praying for a long fall a short winter and a long spring with a short summer. They say becarefull what you wish for it could come true. Sure glad I'm not in charge of it all!
For some reason our OES dog is shedding, she didn't shed before and now it is coming out is clumps. She doesn't have anything wrong with her but I guess the puppy fuz is now falling out , sure does look funny.
I have pictures to put on here but I just found out Christmas is just about 70 days away and since I'm making the gifts , I better get with the program so I don't go crazy at the last min. Just love RL pictures, but couldn't leave her a message, not sure why. I hope the beauty of the season makes your heart sing.

I give up

well thats all for today. Everything that my helper said to do isn't working. So maybe I will do more tomorrow. Maybe not, it sure is discouraging to not be able to read the instructions , they are so clear.

still working on it
