Rhythm

Being home creates a sort of rhythm for me; and, it is never tiring or boring. I cannot imagine ever feeling as if there were nothing to do. Days are simple and each has its unique flavor.

Today: 

 my flour container is an old coffee jar

Is bread day... Since I have broken two joints on my right hand (yes, I am right-handed!), I am using my bread machine. The Mister loves plain bread, so that is what will be waiting when he gets in tonight. 

 Cooky, please?

 
Babies everywhere! We have 16 right now of which 11 are bucks. I go out and sit on the rocks in the pasture with the girls in the afternoon. They sun and search my apron pockets for animal cookies. They are such pigs! 

Working on the garden. the white posts mark the berries; the yellow mark the end of the asparagus rows; and, the rest is tilled and ready for planting. We are going to build a pallet fence around the garden this year to keep the deer out. I have  found a neat product called "PlotSaver" that we will use, too. My friend Arwen and I have been stalking the pallet fences on Pinterest. Her's is up and can be seen here. While you are there, check out her aprons and repurposed items! She is so talented! 

And, in the afternoons, while having tea, I watch this: 

 hello, Ms. Phoebe

oh, waitress!! more, please!

I can't keep this filled! We have hummers from April 17 - ?? every year. This year I have four feeders up and they are not enough! 

 aren't you done, yet??

And that's my cue. Miss Annie-Bananie has something of great urgency --- she hasn't been kissed or petted in five whole minutes.... So I am off to get some stellar kitty love and see what the day brings! 

Have a marvelous week!

Hooked....

Dancing Stars!

Courtney at Sassafras and Winterberry sent me this cutie patootie

when I admired her rug hooking. 

I have worked to learn the art of this new needlework and 

feel that the result is well worth it. 

Next up..

Darling honey bee inspired chair pads for the dining room. 

Can't.

Wait. 

Duck tape.. 

Have you seen what they have developed now?? 

Too cute or what? 

 I thought Duck Tape was only for patching. 

Heck, no! 

This is the "smooth top" variety. 

However.. 

Can you believe there are four other styles

all for the care and comfort 

of your cabinets? 

It is padded and washable with a cloth. 

In heaven! 

I am doing a roll a day until all the kitchen cabinets 

are wiped and tidied for spring. 

Annie is sitting next to me and being a dor a ble. 

Supper time! 

Meanwhile, it is snowing... 

How about you?
