Weather

 We all have weather...sometimes good (most of the time if you think about it) sometimes bad.  We all mention bad weather, great way to complain.  He mentions rain and she says well we had hail!  It's like we have to one up the event.

This time of year, here in Tallahassee,  is lovely.  We're getting into the 80's and 90's.  But we've been staying comfortable around 75 degrees inside our home.  I've noticed the  cement slab under us is warming up because it doesn't cool off as much once the sun goes down.  

Weather, we all have it!

Our patio has an upgrade.  We're hoping the screen will help block the sun during the mornings.  

my plants are growing and evolving

I repotted my oregano and bought a German Thyme to pair with it.  I also bought two type of basil and another thyme

The poinsettia is hanging in there

My crafting has been all over the place.  My cards are turning into mixed media from several sources

I'm even dabbling in journal pages

We joined the Leon County Library today

Spring is Here!

Well, according to the calendar Spring is here.  We had a small front move through the area this morning which dropped the temperature a wee bit.  Had some gentle rain but once it passed through the sun came out and it was quite pleasant the rest of the day.

We didn't venture out.  Jim slept in and I was up at my normal time before the sun came out.  I was able to work on some cards while he slept.

Did all sorts of exciting stuff before he got out of bed...Like laundry, run the dishwasher...you know noisy things...but it didn't wake him up.  That man knows how to sleep!

I also stripped the bed and changed over to our light colored, floral quilt.  Now the bedroom is more summery.

We both had a nap and I'm sure Jim will stay up late because his nap was a long one!  

We had a bizarre thing happen earlier this evening.  A person walked into our  apartment!  This poor child was mentally challenged but very friendly!  She had her puppy with her.  I went outside to see if there was anyone looking for her but after about ten minutes Jim called 911 and they said they'd come around.  

They were able to find where she lived, so all is well.  They stopped by to tell us and the father came by and thanked us.  I'm glad we were able to help but I think I'll lock our door from now on!

I love grocery shopping!

I love reading labels and discovering new items to eat.  I especially like when my favorites are on sale.  Today was fun shopping at Whole Foods with Sonsearae.  She gets it....look for sale items, see if there's something new etc.  Trying to find compliant foods for the various diets we all consume.  I try to find food items that are healthier for Jim and I.  He pretty much doesn't care what he eats but I prefer he eats whole foods and I try to entice him.  I'm not saying I eat as healthy as I should but I'm always striving to do better

The weather today was perfect!  This time of years has us with warm days and cool nights.  I understand another front is going to bring us colder weather, according to Jim.  The older he gets the less tolerant he is of the cold

These cards are made with Echo Parks, House of Pooh

Are you a lucky person?  Do you enter giveaways?  I do and lately I've been wining!  Like the Package of House of Pooh I made the cards with.  Yesterday I got a huge box of Goodies from another giveaway. And an envelope of ephemera from just joining a stash busting group.

Wonderful Day!

This time of year is so nice...except for the pollen.  We get spring storms that can be pesky but the temperatures are what we like.

We had lunch at Casa, it's taco Tuesday and they have an all you can eat buffet set up...and the two for one margaritas are tasty!  After lunch we headed to Costco and picked up a few things, can't say we needed them but we got a new rug for the entry way. The previous rug didn't have non-slip so this one is safer. Raspberries for my breakfasts, cashews in a lovely glass jar for reusing in the pantry.

Then we headed to the car wash so Jim could get the pollen off the car.  He has a subscription and if he wants he can pass through everyday!  Once we got home I had me some iced coffee and sat outside for awhile

These cards are from a Stampin' Up Kit, Heirloom  Arrangements.  The kit makes eight cards using ephemera so each card will be have different items on each card.  I'm finding I like working with ephemera!

Using ephemera from Not 2 Shabby I made three ATC's.  An ATC is an Artist Trading Card that is 2 1/2 by 3 1/2 inches.  It can be traded or used as a card from.  Two of them use Stampin' Up! DSP.  The sentiments are from Paper Rose

I hope ya'll are enjoying some pleasant Spring weather!
