Today is: Thursday, March 1, 2012
I got up this morning: after listening to the sounds of trucks whining by since around 4:30 am... What's up with that?
I was dreaming of a great little place to sit and talk, eat a bit.. great ambiance with a water feature filled with something that looked a lot like bamboo... Youngest son John was there (there were several of us) and he was ordering paper bags full of olives.. We would talk a while and I looked down and saw the most adorable, hefty looking frog sitting on my leg and just looking up at me.. Everywhere I went in the little deli I would find a little frog just sitting and looking at me.. ;o)
I looked it up this morning in my book of "Dreams" and found that dreaming of frogs means you will have a pleasant and even-tempered friend as your confidant and counselor.. ;o) Love that part..
Dreaming of your own child denotes cheerfulness and the merry voices of neighbors and children.
Eating the olives with a merry band of friends foretells favorable results in business, and delightful surprises.. ;o)
I've had this book for years and every now and then it's just fun to go thru it. I really can't see that much of it has come true, but it all sounds really nice today.. ;o)
As I look out my windows: the sun is shining and today the weather man says we will have temps in the low 80s... wow.. It will be a lovely day for our Red River Fiber Arts meeting this afternoon, but I have to wonder what will happen to the lovely pear trees that are all in bloom when we have that usual hard freeze around Easter.. ;o/
I am thinking: that I have way too much stuff..hmmpfh I think it's more of an organization problem than really having too much of a good thing.
Creatively: it's been a busy couple of weeks. I have this quilt top started and need to finish up.
This quilt has been tied and is ready for the binding... that I am hand drawing and coloring in.. This seems to be taking more time than I had anticipated..lol This one is for our soon-to-arrive Great-Grandbaby.
I've been stuck in Pinterest ever since I first found it.. ;o/ But... I did find the coolest little quick pattern for DIY little baskets. Here's the one I made...You can find the templates and tutorials at Craft Passion.com
Today I am thankful for: creative and fun friends... They keep a healing and healthy smile on my face. This is include those on the net who share their activities and thoughts through their own blogs and pop over here to share mine.. ;o)
Plans for the rest of the week: include doing a little more thrift store shopping. I found these lovely egg coddlers in perfect condition (Royal Worcester Porcelain) at one little shop here in town. Too much fun to wander around and find hidden treasures..
Something I'm happy about: .... In Arizona the oranges, lemons and grapefruit all ripen in December. When our son bought his house in a suburb of Phoenix, they were lucky enough (or was it planned?? ;o) to have several orange, lemon and grapefruit trees growing in the back yard. This pleases me no end because he sends me some! ;o)
Did you know that it is remarkably easy to can oranges? Amazing.. and so luscious!
Here's the website that shows how to do this... CLICK HERE!
Well... I think I should stop here before this becomes a book! I hope everyone has a lovely day. Spend at least a part of the day either talking to or visiting with a friend.. ;o)
