Why I am so tired?

Even though I slept pretty well last night, I am just dragging today. I didn't think the weekend was all that taxing, but maybe it was. Maybe it was the time change? I'm all for blaming just about everything on the ridiculousness of changing the clocks. (I didn't grow up with it, you know. Arizona always figure they had enough daylight and they didn't need to save it.) The whole thing is silly. I wish they would just pick a time, I don't much care which one, and stick with it. 

Anyway, I don't have a lot for you at the moment. I can show you some pictures, though.


The seeds are starting to sprout and I have a good amount of seedlings which are growing. These are tomatoes. I also have a lot of basil, poblano chiles, broccoli rabe, leeks, and various flowers growing. At the end of the month, I have quite a few more seeds I will start.


I received my official certificate showing I am now a 'senior member' and not just a member of the ACCPH. I worked hard for this. Once I find some time to work on it, WC and I will be adding another page to my website about my parent coaching. This will be aimed primarily at people who are not close by and can't come hang with the horses.


Do you know what this is? These are goose prints in the snow. For some reason seeing them makes me happy and it was about the only bright spot to the snow earlier this week. It is also extremely difficult for the camera to focus on goose prints in snow it seems. 

And that's it. I sure hope I have more energy tomorrow.

Making bias tape... otherwise known as the Sew, Mama, Sew! Giveaway

Image
( Sorry, the contest is now closed .... though you're welcome to leave a comment if you like.) It's Sew, Mama, Sew Giveaway time again.  I love bias tape.  It is so useful and so easy to use... finishing edges ... finishing seams ...  And while the pre-packaged stuff has it's place and I use it often, I really like to have patterned bias tape as well.  Enter one of my favorite little tools: the bias tape maker.  This one make 3/4 inch bias tape and I will be giving one away at the end of this post.  But first, I thought some of you might like to see what it does if you've never used one before. I don't have a rotary cutter, nice cutting mats, or even a proper cutting table (I cut-out things on my floor), so if I can do this, so can you.  Here is my admittedly quirky method. Step 1:  Lay out the fabric and fold a corner over to find the bias.  The woven threads should be at right angles to the part you turned up. Step 2:  Using a ruler and some sort of mark

Apple picking in the rain

Image
Today was our planned day to go and pick apples.  It was raining off and on, but when it comes to fruit, we don't let a little water get in our way so off we went.  We met our friends and enjoyed their company and picked a lot of apples (3 1/2 bushels).  We also ate quite a few. G.  L. K.  (with an apple nearly as big as his head) P8, TM and L. Now, I don't know about you, but even picking 7 bags of apples does not take us very long.  It's a shame to drive so far only to turn around and go home, so we packed lunches, headed to a park, and enjoyed the now sunny weather. TM and P8 A good day all around.  Of course now I have to do something with all these apples...

Kenzie on the beach

We have made it back home. I am feeling a little more balanced, but it was hard saying goodbye to a house we've created such meaningful memories in for the past 34 years. I'll write more about both later.  In the meantime enjoy pictures of Kenzie living his best life as a beach dog.  Note the ears blowing in the wind (Photo credit TM) (Photo credit for the rest MC)
