Without a lot of Spring-like weather. It's been teasing us- the mornings started out nice and sunny and pretty, then a couple hours later, the clouds move in and it is gray and overcast the rest of the day. The temps haven't been very nice, either. This weekend has been rainy and chilly. The weather … Continue reading Monday Musings: Another Week Goes By
And if April showers do bring May flowers, our allergies ought to be out of control this month! But, really, I am ready for some nice Spring weather. It's been gray and cloudy far too much so far, and Sunday was no exception. It started nice, but then the clouds rolled in, it rained a … Continue reading Monday Musings: It’s May, It’s May!
Maybe too fast! Too weeks from last Saturday, we are cooking chili again! Yes, that's right- ChiliCats and Rock'N'Roll Chili will be represented at the New England Regional Chili Cook Off at Pleasant View Golf Center in Somers, CT on May 6. This is a big cook off, with somewhere on the order of 50 … Continue reading Monday Musings: Mid-April and Things Are Moving Along-
I got a set of business cards and promo cards designed and printed recently. I think they look pretty good! I have to thank the BaldMan for helping me out with them. I worked out the basic idea I wanted, and he made them look very, very pretty! So, now, when I am talking to … Continue reading Monday Musings: I Feel Almost Professional
What do March snows bring? I 'm not sure, but it better be good. Anyway, have a video of the feeding frenzy at the birdfeeders today. Mostly bluebirds and goldfinches, with a purple finch or two. Meanwhile, the snow keeps falling. The gusty wind predicted hasn't started yet. If you don't need to go … Continue reading If April showers bring May flowers,
January is almost over, isn't it? We are just about one full month into 2017. Time seems to fly by so fast these days. Not sure whether it's because I am older or what, but I feel like I blinked somewhere along the way and time just speeded up. Maybe I just need to stop … Continue reading Monday Musings: Into the New Year as Time Goes By
Just a few pictures I have taken recently on my walks with Lambeau. Spring is springing right along here in MA. This my window box- ranunculus, white bacopa, and yellow and blue pansies. I like pansies with faces better than the solid color ones. And just because it has decided it likes its new … Continue reading Monday Musings: Pretty Pictures
Another gorgeous day, so Lambeau and I walked one of the woods trails here. It was cool and lovely, even with no leaves on the trees as yet. But the buds are swelling nicely, and the smaller branches are greening. And there are a few bugs starting to flit about. Two views of the … Continue reading Another Walk in the Woods in the Springtime
Well, it is another gray and gloomy Monday, with rain in the forecast (and outside, so I guess those guys were right today!). It has left me with a gray and gloomy attitude, also, and not a whole lot of ambition. I have stuff to do, just not much desire to actually do it! April … Continue reading Monday Musings:
Today (or tomorrow in some traditions) is the Celtic Feast of St. Brigid, the feast honoring not only the saint herself, but the returning of the Light and the early signs of Spring. It is one of the four main fire festivals in pagan tradition. Imbolc It seems she has sent us a lovely reminder … Continue reading Monday Musings: Imbolc, the Feast of St. Brigid (or I Am Ready For Spring)!
