Hey Cherries. Geez it’s still cold here. We had wind chills in the teens overnight and this morning. Ugh. I worked on cleaning up
my desk and tables in my office yesterday. It’s worse than cleaning up my scrap room. Going to continue on with that today. 

Have a great day Cherries. 

Cold here, too!  The warmest forecast temp for us in the next 10 days is 54 for one day -- the rest are all 40's.  Spring is taking her sweet time.  I'm not worried, though.  It's only a matter of time before I'm on here belly-aching about how freakin' hot it is.  For now, I'm currently enjoying hot chocolate. 

I'm going to tackle some closets today -- move everything out, vacuum, sort, etc.  That should keep me out of trouble. 

Have a great day ALL!

Still cold here too and that breeze is terrible. brrrr...... Getting worn out from helping our daughter clean and move into her new house. Grandpuppy Ridge and I are taking a day off to rest and hopefully he can catch up on his naps. Friday and Saturday we are moving the big stuff furniture, etc. So Ridge is missing out on his naps without any furniture. LOL

Enjoy your day, everyone! 

Good morning cherries. Wow....that IS cold! We woke up to 50 and now it's already 65 and our high will be inching towards 90. Still low humidity and lots of sunshine.

Slow moving for me. I didn't feel well at ALL last night. Stomach issues...totally drained. Felt like cr@p. Went to bed early, shut my alarm off and slept for an extra hour this morning. No longer exhausted...but still got a sour stomach, on top of a headache. Drank some peppermint tea last night and had a piece of toast this morning.

Haven't gone on my walk nor done my gentle yoga and core exercistes. Will try to do that later if I'm up to it. I did strip the bed and got the sheets going in the dryer. Dusted our bedroom and was in the kitchen earlier making some doggie treats. Tried 2 new recipes that I saw on Instagram. All of them using just 4 ingredients. One you pour into molds and freeze for a few hrs (greek yogurt, honey, pumpkin, and bone broth). The other one is a no-bake cookie that's now chilling in the fridge (PB, Pumpkin, Coconut Oil, and Oats). And while I was at it, made them a batch of "barkies"......PB and Banana cookies.

Now I'm at my desk, about to get started with work.

Hope everyone has a great day.

Cold here also!  The high today is 50.  We dropped the Camaro off for service this morning and stopped for breakfast on the way home.  DH is mowing and I'm working on purging craft stuff.   I have a huge order coming so I need to make room!  LOL!

Where are the Spring temps?   I would settle for 55 right now.

Ew...closets.  I have to say that since it's just me and DH, ours are not too bad  I have all of my Rae Dunn in tubs in one bedroom closet and all of our winter stuff in another.  So I only have to keep ours in order.

Yes I'm so tired of the "breeze".  It's been very windy here too.  Sounds like you need a rest.  Take care.

I can deal with 90 and now humidity.  We aren't that lucky though being so close to the Chesapeake.  I know it gets pretty humid there too in the summer.

Play with all of the papers today!

Hazy blue skies, no breeze, sunny today and 80 for a high.  But still cool in the house when I got up.  

Made it to Home Depot finally yesterday.  Spent a whole lot of $$.  Came home and put everything away.  Then planted the new cacti and quit for the day cause by then my back was bothering me.  Today will plant the pansy’s and this beautiful red flower I got without actually knowing what it is!  lol. My DS will know what it’s called I’m sure.  Then get the tomato barrels out of the shed and set up on edge of patio and get those planted as well.

 I used to plant a huge veggie garden.  DH built me raised garden boxes in one corner of the yard.  It was pretty neat but during the years I cared for him, there just wasn’t time for much of anything else so gardening went away.  After he died, I wasn’t interested and disassembled the boxes.  2-3 years ago I started wanting fresh tomatoes from the backyard again.  My boys got me some big wooden 1/2 barrels and I have a patio garden. lol

Have a wonderful Wednesday.

Laura, have fun tackling the closets! Our highest temp for the next 10 days has a highest temp of 46 and rain every day too. We could still get snow… The mountain behind us got snow last night! Hopefully spring will break through soon!!!
