WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES

Today was a great day ~ it was warmer than the last 2 weeks and the snow was melting.  There's still some in the shady spots but after tomorrow's expected high of 45, my hope is it will all be gone.

And, I have a new garage door opener.  The cost was $625 installed so decided to only do the side where my vehicle is parked.  The other side is the same age and it will eventually bite the dust but I've other costly expenses coming up in February so chose to not get the other side done.

I've started binding Magdalena's Animal Parade while watching The Five at 5 p.m.  Since I hate binding but enjoy The Five and a glass of vino, figured it would make that bitter pill easier to swallow.  There just may be a friend joining me when she's feeling better.  Won't mention her name as I don't want to put pressure on her as she needs to rest and feel better first.  

Besides, I've more days of work on this long rug.  Hey, Rome wasn't built in a day y'all,😊.
Like Lauren, I've been shredding documents and filled a big black garbage bag full.  Still more old info to shred but those will be for next week's trash.  

I can remember as a kid thinking to myself .... 'I can't wait until I'm an adult and can do whatever I want, no school, no parents or other adults telling me what to do..."  HA! ain't it fun to be an adult?  Oh to be that kid again back in the 50's when life was so much easier and safer.

  1. I know that binding a rug is not as exciting as creating the rug but it's what gives it dignity I think. Yes, I really think that binding a rug gives it dignity. Congratulations for finishing that big rug.
    It was warm here too today but colder again tonight. Yoyo temperatures.

    Take care, hugs.

  3. Yes I sometimes wish I was a kid again on my grandparents farms. I loved being there during the Summer. Now like you it is expensive bills you need to worry about and costly repairs. I have to pay taxes next month. UGH Janice

  4. I tried to leave a message this morning and it said publishing , but never happened ....Hmmm ???
    Your garage door opener cost a lot more than I thought it would, everything seems to cost $500 or more ...
    Binding a rug can be boring , but I feel so good to have it all finished & can use it !
    We have had a mix bag of weather . Was sunny & nice to walk this morning , then the wind start whipping , we got some snow & rain , luckily not much of either . Hope your snow all melts away ! We still have a coating all over our yard. The wind has just been strong every day . I was thinking of your Windy Day pattern you hooked !
