day 7

Here's our little valentine give
away.....

Can't wait to draw a name.....(I'v got a second prize too! show you that tomarrow!)



I'm feeling better today! We've had snow, but, I heard Snohomish did also! My manly man is busy as usual, I think he likes that alittle. Isn't it amazing how opposites attract. He still wants me to be him (and love all his hobbies) its just a hope . When I was a young mother with more then I could handle , no money, or time (and he didn't have any time either) he'd try to get me to take up spinning, quilting and I'd just laugh at him. I sewed for the kids and that was all I had time for. He just wanted someone to do what he couldn't. Well, theres a time for everything, and now he does all that stuff, and I'm happy for him that he can! He fills his life up with things to do and I spend my time trying to keep my life simple. With my chronic fatigue I have to really pace myself. Its not fun but, it could be so much worse. I have decided two things while I'v been away........
1. I'm going to have someone help with cleaning (so I don't have to spend a day in bed after cleaning)
2. I AM going to get a small riding lawn mower this summer, no matter what! (so I don't have to spend a day in bed after mowing lawns).Last summer I was going to get one and my manly man tricked me into deciding not too."I'll do the lawns this year" I know he meant well, its just it was 20th on his to do list. And you never get to 20!!
Its not to late to make a comment!

    Ok. Now that I saw the Norah Jones CD in there, I really want it. Of course, I can probably talk whoever wins into sharing. Now that we sisters are adults, I think we're much better about that.

 I've always had a bird feeder, for years now. They bring alot of joy to me, nature so up close and personal. Now that we don't have any pets, we've loved having our bird feeders up again. We have this one tree out back and we have a little of everything for them. A little bird bath, three feeders and a suet feeder. There's usually ten to twenty birds in the tree at all times. Lots of beautiful finches, lots of yard birds, lots of black birds (who are quite noisy) red wing black birds and yellow headed black birds. We finally identified one that we couldn't figure out and its a Evening Grosbeak. Some come and we never see them again, just passing through. But, it's our little obsession right now, gives me something to do every morning. But, dang those birds are eating us out of house and home!

 chop, chop, chop were the sounds I woke up too yesterday. I've been hearing those sounds alot these last few weeks as my manly man has made hot sauce and salsa galore. But..............this morning it was different. I woke up to a beautiful bowl of tabbouleh...my favorite salad. The combination of the bulgar, parsley, cucumber and tomatoes just tickles my palet. My favorite part this time of the year are the pomegranate seeds, they add such color and flavor.(I really shouldn't be eating it but I chewed extra well ummm) Oooops a jar of grape juice just broke, manly man is canning....be right back. O.K. that's cleaned up and I'm heading out for a long overdue walk. It's a lovely day, blue skies and sun.

all is well

My daughter Becky should be home from the hospital soon, her surgery went well. Next the mourning for what was and will never be again, she had a lot of good cries last night. They weighed the breast and it was seven and a half pounds! I knew it was close to ten. Like she said jokingly she was looking forward to getting "alot off her chest". When I talked to her on the phone this morning I asked her how in the world did she ever get anything done with a two year old and 5mon. old! I did manage to get us all clean and fed by eleven. Is that good? And to think I raised six! Todays is Becky's Abbie's birthday, we hope to go to the movies this afternoon. I guess on the way home from the hospital they are picking up a new kitty for the children. They had promised them one when they moved in to their house, so how wonderful of them to realize what a good time it would be to bring one home. My children are so wise in so many things.Well........baby calls! Happy Day to you a
