Tomatoes...maybe

Farmer Brown, aka Larry, is trying the topsy turvy thing this year. We shall see if it's all it's cracked up to be. We have some plants in the ground in case this doesn't go well, but we are thinking positive. :)

It's been a year...

since the Handmade Challenge was posted on her blog. Guess what...Frances still has not made anything for the five people who posted on her blog. Kim, Jenny, Anita, Megan and Jered, I have not forgotten you. I need to get busy and work on your "surprises." Stay tuned. :)

    Check Paula Deen on the food networks website. I LOVE her dishes and she quite possibly has a great one to use!

Ok....where is the sun??

No wonder I'm freezing...our heater is broke! Good news is we have a repairman coming out today at 3pm. Might be bad news when we get his bill. :(



update: Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr...5pm and still no repairman yet!

update #2: repairman musta heard me grumbling...he showed up about 10 minutes after I posted at 5pm...we now have heat...YAY! $75 for a service call to replace a piece of tubing that was plugged up... a safety feature kicked in and wouldn't let the furnace turn on because the tube was plugged up
  • aleta
    :(

    The sun isn't over here either.

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood...

The sun is shining...hardly a cloud in the sky, 60 degrees...wow what a beautiful day! If the grass didn't look so pitiful, who would know it's the middle of winter?? :)

    It's pretty here, too, but the wind chill when we walked this morning was in the 20's. I wouldn't do it if my DH didn't!

    Beautiful! I hope he doesn't have to go back to the hospital either. He's really getting sick of it all, and that worries me.

    Beautiful skies (and home). Looks like we're headed for a cold snap again though. :)

    we stopped her from getting into it.
    it's full of silverware.
    she would have taken it all out of the drawer and relocated them in her "stove."

    If you live in Texas long enough, you start thinking the song is "12 Days of Winter" instead of "12 Days of Christmas"
