Just thought I’d sit down and catch up while drinking my morning coffee. Rain again! I am actually thrilled with it, I’ve always loved rain. We live in a small ranch and farm town, so people are wise to not complain about the rain here…sure I’ll hear that when I get to work in Austin this morning.
We’ve had some rudimentary rain barrels (read trash cans) set up since last year, but just set up our first real one a couple weeks ago….come on RAIN!
Shoot, just realized what time it is…gotta scoot to work, I’ll catch up later today. There’s so much to mention…new knitting projects, a puppy, a sign, completed stairs, butterfly gardens…

WORST dog mom ever
I have already managed to not keep my New Year’s resolution to wake up earlier (more often) and walk the dogs before work. I can’t believe I could resist this face this morning….so sad. I’ll excuse myself ‘cuz it’s deadline…but it is unfair. Callie, I promise to get home as early as possible to walk you today…rain or shine, looks like rain.
I plan to start my first adult size sweater this weekend (finally) and sew a cushion cover for my porch swing. I will be testing recipes for work this weekend… migas, granola, blacberry blue corn muffins, and pear rosemary bread. I also need to plant some iris bulbs, even if it’s late. Not a bad way to spend a cold (by Texas standards), rainy, three day weekend.
The longer I live in Texas the more I am ready for Spring to begin the DAY after my birthday. I mean, without the snow…winter can be bleak.
I have just completely (yes, seems and all)finished my first baby sweater…replete with sweet little label. I ordered some cute little embroidered labels for my stuff. It has been raining every day this month, about 5 inches total in my yard…woohoo. I need to take some shots of my surprise plants…Crinum Lily. A friend told me they are also known as 4th of July plants, I guess not only because they look like fireworks, but seem to bloom around the 4th. Not sure I love them, but they are a nice surprise. I have learned that tropical plants fare well in my new hometown.
I am loving Mason Dixon Knitting!!! I’ve already begun the crazy lady work of looping a bunch of potholder loops and knittign a rug. I’ve been inspired and have started a rag bag to get crackin’ on some more rugs.
