A Day To Snuggle In

The weather turned cold and snowy today. The wind howled and it was the perfect time to stay holed up in a nice warm house.
I did venture out early in the morning before the snow hit to do some shopping for the upcoming week. Made it back inside before the weather got too bad.

So I have spent the day working on getting the knit material cut into strips and put into a bag for easy storage. I also managed to cut a large piece for two infinity scarves. It is at times like this that I wonder why on earth I wait so long before getting things like this completed. It actually makes more work for me in the long run.

Yesterday afternoon I made a visit to the library.

A few mysteries and murders to keep me occupied before I go to sleep at night. Amazingly they don't keep me awake. The gorier the better as far as I am concerned. 

Everybody have a wonderful evening.

God bless.

Sunday Ramblings

Cooler day today, and from the looks of the weather forecast things will be cool for the next little while.

The church was packed today, probably because it was Palm Sunday. Lots of unfamiliar faces, but lots of familiar ones as well. So nice to see the faces of some of my old youth group attending Mass.

Quiet day as I am still not too steady on my feet at times. In fact today was a bit worse than yesterday. I am hoping that this bout of whatever (I have a feeling that all you who said vertigo are correct) is over very soon. Only moving my head small increments, and walking very slowly is getting to me.

I was at our library early last week and came home with these.

My fiction fix for the week. I just have one Anne Perry left to read, and the Stephen King. Probably heading back to the library again early next week.

I pulled these out of my bookcase. One belonged to my father and the other two I picked up at various garage and rummage sales.

I am hoping to get started making my own cleaners and some homemade body care items. I am loving my body scrubs from The Body Shop, but think I could make my own at a fraction of the cost. The same goes for bath salts, and hand lotion (a friend makes lotion bars and swears by them).  The other one, well, I am going to see if I can glean any new savings tips. Prices are continuing to rise, and we are on a set income (we could take more out of savings, but I really don't want to).

Lastly, here are the Moonflowers I planted at the beginning of the month.

They popped up very quickly. I do have more seed left and I think I may just direct sow them into one of my longer flower boxes and make a trellis for them to climb.

Everybody have a wonderful evening.

God bless.

Since Blogger Gadgets Don't Seem To Be Working

I have been trying to post some more books I read this past week on my reading list, but it always comes up "Fix errors on this form." So I thought that today I would just list them here on my blog until this is repaired.

So far my additions are:

lost boy, lost girl
Blood Loss
Mourning Gloria
A Dilly of a Death

Hmmm, do I see a pattern forming here.

Everybody have a wonderful evening.

God bless.
