Christmas Notebook

Currently, my life is on hold. I have a terrible cold. I know I’m not the only one. It is making the rounds. Headache, painful cough, sore throat, low grade fever, you name it, I’ve got it. I have spent three days in the recliner trying not to move or talk too much. Both make me cough. Especially talking. So that means I’ve done absolutely nothing in the craft room. I’d probably cough up a lung if I had to climb the stairs. Our staircase has 22 steps (because of the twelve foot ceiling) and it is a loooong way up there when you are feeling sickly.

This is my life right now…

We have the twins this weekend. It’s nice that they are old enough to take care of themselves if we are busy (or sick!). Pa made pancakes with them this morning, they made the Valentine’s for their school parties, they took a hike in the woods with Pa…

…and rode the golf cart around the yard. And they flew a kite at the park behind our house!

We had a high of 69* today. The spring garden is slowly waking up. The bees were out today.

And the crocus are up!

We had all the windows open and I could hear cardinals singing their spring songs. It’s so early in the year to have such warm temps, but we are appreciating it while we can. Tomorrow Older Son and our DDIL are coming to cook a late lunch for us before taking the twins home. It’s always fun! I just hope I will feel well enough to take part.

Hopefully I can get back into the craft room by Monday or Tuesday. Till then! ~~Rhonda
