Indiana Weather

December is upon us and the weather has turned, however it has turned to the extremes. Last week the highs with in 20's, today its in the 40's and raining, tomorrow the highs will be in the 20's again with snow. I understand that weather changes constantly, but this is ridiculous. It is two weeks before Christmas and it is suppose to be in the 40/30's and snow.... Come on...make up your mind!

Spring: Gardens, Flowers and Allergies

I love spring. I hate spring. The flowers, our garden, the trees, mowing....all things that I love, but all things that make me miserable. The cottonwood is going crazy this year and hence my allergies are going crazy. Yesterday as I sat in the living room, it looked as if it was snowing: beautiful, white, fluffy things flying through the air.

Spring

Spring....the hopes and joys are overwhelming. Wow!!! It has been a busy spring. As I sit here right now, I can smell the fresh dirt from the farmer planting corn behind my house. Nothing smells better than fresh cut grass and newly plowed soil. It has been a great spring for planting. Most of the farmers around us are all on schedule.

My back has finally healed enough that I have been able to start mowing (riding mower) and working more outside. This means that soon, very soon I will be able to ride my horse again. It has been almost 3 years since I've been able to ride.

End of day 1 of sewing

Oh my goodness....there is a lot more to sewing than I ever thought. Beverly is very patient with me and has taught me so much already. The one thing I'm good at is making button holes. We are a little over half done with my pajama pants and then I have a blanket to hem and a pillow to make.

Learning to Sew

Well...tomorrow is the day. I am learning to sew. It may seem like a small thing, but it actually is really exciting for me. I took industrial arts instead of home ec in school, but have found recently that domestic things actually interest me. Today my friend and I went to the local fabric store and picked up a simple pattern, material and notions. Tomorrow, another friend is bringing over her sewing machine and show me how to begin sewing. Wish me luck!!!!
