Spring is getting close..
That groundhog knows what he's talking about...my Valentine rose has been blooming and is loaded w/ buds, ready to 'splode...and the other day, I'm walking by the front when I see a little yellow bloom...One of the fun things about moving is finding the surprises the previous resident planted...there aren't many, but the few I have are still welcome...I can't WAIT to get out in the yard and start planting...I still need to finish the front yard w/ my compost and get some of my butterfly plants in the ground that we bought in October and have been taking up residence in my kitchen from time to time this winter...
I've got beads to post, but no time today to do it...hmmm...and tomorrow I'm booked solid as well...So, I'll post them Monday...
I have become completely smitten with the television show "How Its Made"...its all about how objects are produced, from soda cans to fire trucks to hockey pucks (its produced in Canada, so there are lots of hockey items featured)...I've seen ballet shoes, steel toe boots, pianos, mirrors, snack cakes, motors, speakers and all sorts of stuff being made...I find that stuff fascinating...I remember watching crayons being made on an epsiode of Mr. Rogers Neighborhood and it was fantastic...and who wouldn't want to tour Hershey's and see the kisses and candy being squished...so cool...
I'm off to Austin to teach this afternoon, which will be groovy cause I like teaching one-on-one...the students always seem pretty interested when they are learning exactly what they want to know...I can finally pick up the beads I made a few weeks ago...and maybe a few new tools and treats as well...back later w/ my loot, ya'll enjoy your day off today!
