Spring Weather

Cold fronts approach and we have rain, cloudy skies and cooler temperatures.  Once they pass, the sun comes out and we have pretty decent weather.  I know technically it's winter, but this pattern suggests spring.  

The squirrels are chasing one another around the trees.  Birds are chirping and singing.  Everything is growing from all the rain.  Green grass but the trees aren't budding out yet.  This also suggests spring.

So, it's Spring here in Spring Branch!

This is the play area with the dog park in the background at Spring Branch RV Park. The oaks never lose their leaves. When the new leaves pop out the old one falls off.  I think that's why they call them live oaks.  And there are beautiful oaks here.

My goal again this year is to make 500 cards.  

25 January 2020 17 cards

Handmade Cards Because:

No one displays an email on the mantle

Or shows off a tweet on the fridge

Or saves a Facebook post in a box of treasures

Call Me Crafty Al posts a SheetLoad of Cards sketch each month.  This is the January 2020 sketch.  All instructions are posted on a printout and she makes it look easy on YouTube.  Here I used Echo Park patterned papers, chipboard and stickers on Stampin' Up! cardstock.

On Friday Jim drove to Discount Tire and got the new rims for the truck.  As they were removing one tire they split it, so a new tire was needed and they paid for it.  Jim bought the other tire so now the front tires are new.  As soon as I can I'll get a picture.  First we need to have the truck home.  As he was driving home he noticed a wobble from the rear.  He also had trouble getting the truck into reverse or out of...anyway...a trip to Pep Boys today to have it checked out.  Brakes on the rear were shot..So they're better now.  

Not sure, but I think we need to tighten our belts and get finances back to normal!  January has been an expensive month.

All is right (?) in our world
