The Kitchen Table

It's a Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood!

It is so nice outside, really sunny. I am looking for my bunny rabbit things to put on my fireplace mantle to decorate for Easter, since I will have the dinner here. Well, you might know where they are stored! They are way in the back of my good sized pantry and I have to move everything out of their way. I found two boxes of things. Now of course everything is in my way and I have to take a rest in order to get things straightened back up again.

I sliced and cooked Izzi a big crock pot of carrots and celery to go along with her chicken meat I had cooked over night. Now I will have to get it bagged up and frozen. I will be puppy sitting for KC in a while. Izzi will love that. She has had a good time tied up outside. I kept finding stuff in the pantry and thinking, oh that would go well with supper tonight, so I drug some things out to fix. Lucky for me I can just roll around on my task chair and back to work at the pantry. What is everyone else doing on this beautiful day in the neighborhood?

I'm off today, and it is sunny and warm for this time of year. I've been waiting for the plumber, but he's taking forever. I'm going outside with the dogs to clean up, and wait for him while accomplishing something, I guess. He's late!

Thats my plan, to can, freeze and dehydrate all my produce. But i do have neighbors that are willing to buy some of my stuff, becuase they either dont have the room or just no time...so what I dont use i guess ill sell to them and buy next years seeds, plants and other garden related items. But thatrs only what wont be put up. Just came from the garden today and some of my okra is about 6" tall and looking good same with the celery, took awhile to germinate but it is doing great as well. Ill be putting in my garlic and shallots today as well, hopefully i have better luck with it then last year. I planted sweet peppers out in the garden today and put my hot peppers in containers. Did 2 garden tours today, people dont look at me as im nuts anymore but now they admire my work in the garden. Its nice to see that they understand why most of my yard is garden now, but it took rising food prices and gas prices to understand. Well i better get back out ther and get more done before the rain hits. Have a great day in the garden everyone.

I'm cold. That wind seems to be finding its way into every hole and crack in my old house this morning. I just turned the thermostat up again. brrrr. Need to go out and fill the bird feeders as soon as I do the dishes. I have yesterday's, last night's, and this morning's dishes to do. Thankfully, there's only me here so that doesn't make too many, mostly cereal and soup bowls, and silverware.

We are having leftover night to clean out the fridge before we leave. Mostly the meal will consist of spaghetti and meatballs but I have some other bits and pieces to toss out there that sound more interesting than the spaghetti.......But my Dearest Darling will have the spaghetti. He'd like to have it every night.

I started baking Christmas cut-out cookies this morning at 10:30am., made the dough yesterday so all I had to do was take it from the fridge and roll it out and start with the cookie cutters. Think I got at least 3doz. baked, and tomorrow I will put the frosting on and then mail 2doz.of them to a friend on Monday. While they baked, I watched TCM movie channel (A Christmas Carol with Reginald Owen is on now), just came in from hanging the wreath on the old schoolhouse door and thinking about taking the dog for a walk. But, it's still a bit chilly out there at 33 degrees despite all the sunshine;so I'll have to think awhile about that. Hung the other wreath on the front door, an all plastic made-to-look-like boxwood wreath that I've had for years and is so sentimental. Every Christmas I find bits missing or laying at the bottom of the storage bag. It's frayed gold foil ribbon and half- glittered decorations stuck into one side of it never get replaced. I did take a quick trip around the garden to see what's going on and really need to put the leaf mulch down soon. The ground is frozen, but tonight I think we are suppose to get rain and sleet. The bird bath looks like a mini skating rink.

Sunny and 32Âº here today; no big plans as there is a program at church at 4;30 and I might get too involved with something and forget to go! (It has happened, you know!)

It was pretty here yesterday too, but I had to work. Pretty again today. Still chilly, though. Supposed to get up to around 50.

The toddler is at the babysitter's house and I'm painting a bedroom. The sun is shining for the 4th day in a row! It's about 42 degrees outside and I hung laundry on the line for the first time this spring. I figured if the Amish women around here can do it, so can I! Happy Friday, everyone!

Been out walking three days in a row. We've had 3 days of blue skies with snow evaporating as it melts - little run off. Gonna hit 40 F today. Wheee. Heating bill relief. A little sun in the face feels good.
