March

You know the old saying March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb? Well here in Wisconsin it has come in like a lion and is going out that way as well. We did have a couple of nice days in the middle so I soupose that could be the lamb part, but I think it was eaten by on of the lions. So here we are with two lion's in the month of March. I hope they don't get into a fight or maybe they already did and that is why the month did not go out like a lamb.

Happy Cesar Chavez Day.

Week 13

Q13 - what was my worst (or best?!) hairstyle experience to date?

I think my worst hairstyle would be when I turned 18 and decided to cut all 18 inches of my hair off and get a perm, which proceeded to frizz out after I spent a week long bike trip in Kansas with my head in a bike helmet.

Week 11 & Week 12

Q11 – What keeps me awake at night?

Everything from the drip in the faucet to my sister, keeps me awake at night. I need to try and leave my problems outside when I get home. I have a tendency to sit up at night and just keep thinking and thinking about everything that I have to do.

Q12- What are you grateful for right now?

I am grateful for my husband I do not know what I would do without him. I am grateful for the sun that shines and everything God has give us.

Rain

Rain, Rain go away come again another day. Well at least it's not snowing, even though we are suppose to get some of the white stuff this weekend. I am praying that it does not happen, because there are some daffodil's that are just starting to come up in the flower beds. Yellow is my favorite color, so I just seem to love any flower that is yellow. The seeds that we planted in the house have just stared to come up. I am getting really excited. Pretty soon we can start planting more.

Seeds

I have finally gotten around to planting my seeds for my garden this year. We have planted 4 heirloom types of Tomato's (pink ox heart, Amish paste, Belgium giants and fuzzy peach), 1 Hot Pepper type, 1 Bell Pepper type (yellow), lavender, and Rosemary. At the end of the month we will plant some of the flowers we plan on planting along with the rest of the vegetables, except the seeds to be planted directly into the ground. I am so excited for spring to be here.

Week 10

I hope I can do this question justice. The only movies that come to mind off the top of my head are movies that I have been to just for the pleasure of being out with my husband.

Q10 - name 5 movies that inspire you creatively...

1. The Labyrinth
2. Pan’s Labyrinth
3. Pride & Prejudice
4. 1776
5. Moulin Rouge

It's Beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Well it's March here in Wisconsin and we have a nice fluffy layer of snow on the ground again. Yesterday I was sitting at home rotating between ogling seed catalogs and unpacking the piles of boxes in my new home, when we were hit with a snow storm. Well it did not start out that way, it started by raining for a couple of hours then the water froze on the trees, making them look like glass sculptures and with the wind whipping around the branches it sounded like some one was dropping beads on the roof. Then it started to snow, and here I was already to start my garden (not outside of course but inside). Well the snow put a damper on my mood, so all the egg cartons are sitting in the living room window already to be planted and I am not in the mood to put even one seed in. I think I have a Love/Hate relationship with snow. I love the snow at the beginning of the season, but I hate it when I get the spring itch to start planting. Oh well I guess I will never learn.

Voodoo Chicken Queen

My sister Heather has been sending me chicken after chicken on my farm. So I have knighted her Voodoo Chicken Queen. So let’s send her lots and lots of chicken. All hail Heather the Voodoo Chicken Queen. Now all she needs is her royal cloak, which will be some chicken wire with paper flowers on it. (You know like from a float from a parade), her royal scepter will be a bedazzled chicken leg and her crown will be a KFC bucket turned upside down. She will also need her royal jewels, which I believe will be some chicken bones. All hail Heather, The Voodoo Chicken Queen. (Everyone should back away slowly genuflecting)

Week 9

Well they posted the next question and I have been so busy that I have not had the time to write it out let alone be creative. Well here it is:

9. What was the last brave thing I did?

The bravest thing that I have done is bought a house in this economy.

The New House

Well I am finally back from my vacation, if you call moving in one day a vacation. We signed on our new house last week Tuesday and I have been cleaning and packing like crazy. My new house now looks like I have not cleaned it in weeks with boxes on all the counters. We have a lot of work that we are going to do to the house but it will take us some time. Here is what it looks like now.

We are planning on doing some painting because the choices of colors are not what we would pick.

We really want to put new window's in the house because some of them have been broken and then sealed with cauk. Almost all of the windows in the house have been caulked shut. We also want to update the Kitchen the layout is very odd.

We also want to remove a wall from that seperates the sunroom and the livingroom so that we can have one great room.

I will try and keep everyone updated on our progress. Have a blessed week.
