For Today...blackbirds and christmas

Outside my Window...it is still dark

From the kitchen...a quart of warm blueberry tea

I am wearing... scrubs again

I am reading...cooking magazines and christmas recipies--looking at biscotti, food gifts in a jar with decorated tops, sewing table runners, and tiny quiches

I am hearing...the furnace jiggling fan

Around the house.....I have to change the water faucets outside so they don't reeze. I would love someone to build me a small shed for the car. oh well!! make sure the skirting is intact for the winter

things never change around here but i did get some leaves raked before the rake broke!!! have to buy a new one today

One of my favorite things...pink snap dragons and purple something flowers that i brought in from the porch, they might bloom for a little while in the house---still blooming. the white christmas cactus is blooming now and i only have two or three blossoms on the red one. i think it needs repoting as some large branches fill off....

Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week...humm have to think about that just work--getting two tons of wood pellets today, cleaned out the porch yesterday

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you...

work and play

For Today...it is the start of a new week and I am going to like it rain or SNOW or with or with out sunshine!!

Outside my Window...is a bright sunshinny day with grey clouds that threaten to bring down snow or slush! Green and yellow leaves glisten in the sun and with a slight breeze leaves are shuffling here to there. It is beautiful

From the kitchen...fresh asparagras soup made in a hurry with water onions, celery, chicken seasoning and boil just until barely done, then put in the blender. it leaves a rather chunky version of soup but that is okay, add a dab of cream and there you have it-- Soup before i rush off to work!!!

I am wearing...new scrubs again

I am reading...martha stewagetting ideas for a ladies meeting

I am hearing...the furnace jiggling fan

Around the house.....I have to change the water faucets outside so they don't reeze. I would love someone to build me a small shed for the car. oh well!! make sure the skirting is intact for the winter

For Today...monday ~~Good Morning!!!

Outside my Window...is dark, cloudy, hear a train in the distance, car drove by otherwise there is silence and leaves all over the place

I am thankful for...for the priviledge of being out of debt, that i was able to help the kids in a small way, for two part time jobs, one or the other should keep me going in this recession

In the kitchen...blueberry tea as always, buckwheat berries that have been soaked over night, rinsed, with raisins and bananas, with hemp milk on top for breakfast, salad for dinner and probably for supper too

I am wearing...Scrubs again.

I am reading...my bills

I am creating...an apron made out of black and white striped material and lace-you can see it on the other blog

I am hearing...dryer, water dripping and my stove has an annoing beep beep because i left something on it, i must turn it off!!

Around the house...trying to decide whether to put in a pellet or ordinary wood stove for heat

One of my favorite things...pink striped curtains with pink lace!! actually it is a dusty rose color and the stripes have a bit of brown in it

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week..re organize my house again after jaimie moving, we moved more of her stuff today. making josie a birthday cake which will be on the 7th she will be six years old !!!!!!

A picture thought.... these are some photos when i was a little girl and there are a couple of my sisters also. we were born in Oshawa, ont. and lived in a renovated garage.
