A Lazy Sunday

Today is a typical overcast winter day. Maybe we'll get some snow in the valley, but right now it is just cold and windy. My two cats are sleeping the day away. Romeo has made himself comfy on the bed. The quilt on the bed was a birthday present from my grandma. She made it when she was 92! (This week she will celebrate her 94th birthday!!)

Angel found a hiding place up high in my office.

And I spent the day cleaning, doing homework and making a new neck scarf!

Okay, so I guess I had better get back to homework. I do have a few tests this week!

Everyone have a fabulous week!!

Mother Nature is such a tease!

What a difference a few days make. I woke up to a gentle reminder that it is not spring yet! lol
Oh well, I did get a variety on the morning exercise routine.

It feels like spring!

Well, the calendar may say February 7th but the sun and temperature made it seem more like spring! So much in fact, here is what I did today!
Clothes hanging in Feb

Here is where I found Snowball hanging out:

After all it was just too pretty to be inside the tipi!

Housework, homework, knitting, and yummmmmm

Well it's Saturday, so that means cleaning: dishes, washing clothes, cleaning floors, and other miscellaneous chores. I also have two quizzes this week, so that means time spent studying as well. And of course, a few minutes here and there knitting a few rows on my latest project. But the best part of the day, is when I pulled this out of the oven.

Sourdough cinnamon raisin bread

Ah, yes, whole wheat sourdough cinnamon raisin bread. The scent in the house was just lovely and now with a touch of butter, it will be a nice addition to my supper. Over at MaryJane's Farm, there are quite a few of us who are getting started in making our own sourdough. This is my third week of baking with the starter and it is only getting better. Tomorrow I think I'll try some pancakes.

Okay, so I'm still learning!

Here is my old lady, Angel. The two of us have been through a lot together.

This one is my teen-ager tomcat, Romeo.

And this little baby I lost in December. She was only a couple years old and it was hard to say good-bye. She was born a stray and adopted me a year ago. I do miss my little Munchkin.

My at-home babies.

Here are the ones that keep me entertained at home.

Oh My Goodness!

Well, what can I say? I started this blog just before last semester started and had good intentions and now here it is six months later and I am two weeks into the next semester! So I will try to do a better job in keeping up. During that time I learned alot. I also received a digital camera for my birthday from my beautiful children! So, now I can post pictures!
