A Splurge

We went to a lovely resturant that has opened in the past year.

While new it looks like it has been stretched along that lake for a 100 years. 

There are cozy places along the way to relax. 

Every little detail has been seen to. 

It is a hotel,spa,resort, and resturant. 

********************

I have been painting a bit. Still very much learning. 

The weather has been getting warmer and the frost is coming out of the ground making some roads a ruff ride.

    ***************

Some beautiful weather coming in for the next few days. Mud season all around.  The snow is melting fast but March is fickle there is more snow to come I am sure.

    Have a wonderful week!

Sage

We got 5 more inches of snow overnight. And now we are in the 50s. 

The first thing husband did this morning was break the toaster. 

Since I had a 8 am dental cleaning. I stopped and picked up a new one on the way home. 

Husband just finished another puzzle. This was a very hard one and had a couple of pieces missing. 

Because we had such a nice day I opened some windows for awhile and burned sage. Out with the old energy in with the new. 

I have a Mahjongg class tonight. I am enjoying it but don't feel good enough to play a game yet. 

We spring a head this weekend looking forward to longer days!

  Enjoy the rest of your week. 

Missing

Well we made it through February. Still cold and snow coming in but we are a bit closer. I hope!

Our sweet B came for an overnight. And now I am feeling greedy and want more time with her. 

Her dog came too. She loves these windows watching the birds. 

I made donuts for breakfast.

We got some time at the thrift store. She got a beautiful silk skirt and a Jean skirt. She is such a joy to be with. 

Husband is finally feeling better. I had a great day with my sweet friend this week. I have also been cleaning out drawers and closets. So I have piles every where but in the end it will look much better. 

       ************

I haven't blogged or visited much at all. I promise to get back in the grove this week. 

I hope you are all well and looking forward to spring. 

Craft Room

I have had some good time in my craft room.

I cleaned it up and did some better organizing. 

It didn't workout for my grand to come this weekend. Fingers crossed next weekend.

    We had 6 inches of snow on Friday. And did not get anything from the storm that hit south of us thankfully.

Husband had a setback on Thur. He is home and it is wait and see. 

 I hope you are all well and not to snowed in. 

I will be around to visit soon. 

Chinese New Year

Also known as Spring Festival or the Lunar New Year. It marks the beginning of spring. I am all for celebrating spring even if it is not here yet for us. 

There are a lot of superstitions related to Chinese New Year. Don't sweep or use scissors, break dishes or wear black and white. There are many more but mostly related to money in the New Year. 

I have been working on my stitching piece. 

Having a friend who thrifts is pretty wonderful. A bag of thread for 2.50! 

My wonderful grand asked to stay over this weekend. I am so thrilled I can't stand it lol. But I had to do a clean-up of the craft room as that is her favorite place in the house. I had this mat in my cupboard and never used it but is it perfect as a mat for my painting. 

I played cards with husband and beat him! which is very unusual. 

I have been wearing my new pj pants that have pockets and sheep. Could you ask for anything more?

               ***************************

I got to snowshoe with my sweet friend on Sunday and then we went to lunch. The skies were a robin's egg blue, and it was in the 30s it was a perfect day.

   Husband had his first appointment after surgery, and it went well.  

      Have a wonderful week!

A Turn In The Weather?

More snow and while pretty time to move on. Next week we could get to 40 a nice break from a high of 5 with a stiff wind.

Husband finished this puzzle pretty crazy. He is doing well I got him out of the house this week and he did well. 

I went to the Mah Jongg class and holy bamboo! It is a complicated game but I like it. And Sarah is a good teacher. I will continue with the classes. 

I met up with my sweet friend and partner in crime yesterday for lunch and she gave me a valentine card she made and gifts. I have many blessings.

And speaking of her she again gave me bees wax to wax my embroidery thread and napkins when I saw her in Maine. And the blessings go on. 

I made naan bread for the first time. It was a hit and so easy.

We piled it high with sauted peppers and onions with left over steak tips, delicious.

        ************

We have no big valentines plans. 

Have a wonderful weekend. 

Oui

Some mornings it is coffee before the sunrises. I re-light the woodstove while it is brewing. Then I settle in to watch the surise.

Husband will only eat this brand of yogurt.

So I got covers for some of them for small storage usage. 

I made pumpkin bread to have with our morning coffee. It is King Arthur Flour's easy pumpkin bread.

Husband gets a medicine mailed to him that is in ice packs. But after you can use it to fertilize your plants.

Husband is working on a puzzle of beach umbrellas! Crazy!

   He is feeling better every day.

Wednesday night I am taking a class on mahjong. I know zero about it so let's see if I can grasp it. 

  Have a great week!
