Love this!!

It's a rainy sunday!

We really do need the rain, and I imagine this will probably be the last rain of the season.  It has been so dry this winter, I just had to take a few pics of the falling rain!

Quote of the Day

Heard this quote on the radio.........thought it was funny!

I once had a rose named after me and I was very flattered. But I was not pleased to read the description in the catalog: no good in a bed, but fine up against a wall.
Eleanor Roosevelt

The Bachelor

The Bachelor (t.v. show) drives me nuts.  But I love this little video Ellen did.  I promise I'm not going to watch this next season.  Well maybe I will.  Take a look!

Orchids

My friend Uta gave me an orchid for my birthday last year.  Low and behold its almost that time of year again, and my orchid is still alive.  As a matter of fact it has four new blooms with five just waiting to bloom.  I am just delighted that I kept it alive....take a look.

Valentine Day

After years of telling my husband, I do not want cut flowers for anything, birthdays, mother's day, valentine day.
He has finally got it.  This year for Valentine Day he gave me a potted hydrangea.  I absolutely love it.  Of course I had to play with it a bit on the computer.  I will plant it outside sometime next week.

Pot Holders

Started a new thing, pot holders.  A friend of mine has given me crocheted pot holders over the years.  Well, they are great.  You can't beat them.  They keep you hands from burning and they wash up like a dream.  I made one in the seed stitch, and the other in single crochet.  Got the pattern on Ravelry.  Take a look!

Pink is single crochet, white is seed stitch.
