Reflections of Litter and Random Thoughts

I have probably posted this before, but it has been quite a while back. But I don't think it was posted for Weekend Reflections.

I recently used it as the photo prompt, begins with the letter L, for Camera Club. It didn't place, but I've always thought it was a cool picture. Litter floating in the water.

RANDOM 5 FRIDAY
1. Fergus isn't an independant dog, he likes someone to hold his bone while he chews. If I'm on the computer too long, he gets bored and hops up on the bed behind me and sets the bone on my head.

2. Grandson Adam called me last night to tell me he would be mailing me a letter as soon as he got a stamp—and then proceeded to tell me everything he wrote.

3. I heard yesterday we will be getting a Joann's Fabric Store in the near future. This means I won't have to drive an hour, only 30 minutes to buy fabric. I am a closet quilter. Therefore, I am ecstatic.

4. I just finished reading a book titled The Boy in the Suitcase by Lene Kaaberbol and Agnete Friis. I couldn't put it down. If you like to read, add it to your reading list.

5. This is a very difficult task, thinking of 5 Random Things. Yesterday we went to town to buy groceries. Life is so full of excitement right now I can hardly stand it. I'm ready for a weekend excursion!

Happy Friday!

Weird Weather

Yesterday the car said it was 73° outside when I left work. The weathergirl says the high today will be 35°. I liked yesterday's temps better. We had thunder in the night and now it's pouring down rain with the possibility of a wintery mix.

I'm dreaming of spring!

The indefinable 'they' say it's just around the corner. I want to know which corner so I can hurry and find it.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Cheesecake Anyone?

I've been working on making a family cookbook. I'm titling it Such as It Is. My grandma always used to say, "Dinner's ready, such as it is." I don't really know why. I guess she was being humble. She shouldn't have been, she was a wonderful cook. Of course, the tradition followed and my mom said 'such as it is', too. Now guess who says it? Yep, me. And I still don't know why. It's our thing. So while trying to come up with a title, this seemed appropriate.

I'm trying to take some pictures so it won't be a boring cookbook.

Cheesecake anyone?

Blue Monday

Fergus has a lot of energy, which means he requires a lot of walking, running, and tossing of frisbees. Last Saturday I took him for a walk down by the covered bridge.

The clouds disappeared and the sky turned a beautiful shade of blue. The snow was almost gone, the ice was melting, and the birds were singing. Had me dreaming of spring.

Today we are expecting temps in the 60s. Too bad it's a work day!
