Hurry, Hurry, Hurry!


For some reason I was almost, almost but not quite idle sometimes last winter but this year I seem to be racing from one project to the next. At this rate I won't find time to grow elderly and snoozing in a rocking chair!
 My mind is racing so fast I won't spend time writing off a ponderous essay so will dash off a few pictures. (It's more fun that ways, not?) Pretend that's me shooting off this blog.
 But here's a few other things, past present and future that are swirling through my mind! When I'm not running off to care for the chickens
I've been doing a lot of this. And there's a lot more to do!

Now, because we had such a long winter, I had a typical spring-fever frenzy, and this happened!
Which undoubtable leads to lots of this and lots of this:
But that's not all: has to happen more often if my next book ever hits the press. Make that plural. I have more than one manuscript that is languishing because of lack of researching, plus editing.


Then these winter projects are being squeezed out of the picture and there's a NEW GRANDBABY coming! I often resort to doing this in the car:
So if you see stray strands of colored cotton sleeping in the snow you might trace them to me. Obviously I must fly...I didn't even mention the regular. Laundry, Cooking, cleaning etc, but I think I've entertained you long enough. But just remember: we're expecting this in August!! A grandbaby girl!

Slappin' and Slickin'


Whether you're inclined to get dizzy or not, I don't think too many of you would care to spend too much time painting ceilings. If you read yesterday's post you will have 'seen' me industriously painting our secondary bathroom a cheerful yellow. Well, you know how it goes; one thing leads to another and it didn't take long to discover that the ceiling needed a touch up also. (And yes, I am typing this with dabs of paint on my fingers.) My head doesn't care to be up-tilted all that long so I developed an excuse to go a-blogging. Hey, all those people that are are impassively sitting in buses, trains, and what-not's need something to read, something to think about for a few minutes so here you go! And here I go back to slapping (??!!) on paint and slicking up the bathroom. My, but it's beginning to look bright and new in there!
Have a good day, folks!
That's about the color of my hair but I sure ain't quite that young lookin' !
