I used to love wearing baseball caps but then when glasses became a 24/7 necessity, it became too much. The brim would hit the top of my glasses, there was too much going on behind my ears. A mess. But if I were to wear a hat, I would choose this one. My dad was gifted this hat by his landscaper friend. The color is a perfect hunter green and the logo is a yellow leaf bare tree.
This is an LED bulb but thankfully it still looks like an old incandescent. In my opinion, you just cannot duplicate that incandescent light and I miss it. The warm LED bulbs are close but will never be the same. Oh wow…side note… (my computer monitor is in front of a big window)… I just witnessed a hawk attack a crow in midair. Makes my light bulb rant seem inconsequential.
Happy first day of spring… it snowed last night and I just shoveled the driveway. Grrr. What better way to celebrate the day than feature a computer mouse! This is my husband’s mouse from his home office. I have an old corded Apple mouse with a tiny roller ball that doesn’t work but I still love it.
This one was HARD to draw. You would think a series of three dimensional rounded corner squares would be easy but the spacing was insane. I tried at first drawing this from an angle to capture the tilted display screen but that was beyond my abilities and I just drew it straight on. Still tricky. And in real life the calculator is bright orange. I tried.
This here is an 11/32″ drill bit. This bit is only used once a year…. it creates a hole in the bottom of our fresh cut Christmas tree so it fits nicely on the spike in the tree stand. A pilot hole if you will. The Yule Bit. HA!
What a genius name for a vessel to hold fatty, salty, rich and thick liquid goodness. A boat. This boat is usually in service only once or twice a year and it’s contents have been referred to as liquid gold. Our gravy is a beef tenderloin sauce that is made from the pan dripping of the roasted beef along with butter, beef broth, balsamic vinegar, shallots and mustard. Divine.
Yep. It’s snowing. The hope for Spring is delayed for a day. But I did get some daffodils at the grocery store that have brightened up the family room. I still don’t understand how you can buy daffodils, not in water, just rubber banded together in a dry clump… and then after a fresh trim and a vase of water they burst open. Incredible.
Well the weather has turned and I have a hankering to prune! This beauty is my Fiskars pruner and has been through a lot of woody stems. But I must resist the urge because it may still be too early. I put the snow pants away for the winter so expect 6 inches next week.
I had a dentist appointment this week and despite my SEVERE nasal congestion, because I didn’t have a fever they would not let me cancel without paying $75. So I suffered through a cleaning without breathing through my nose and then they ask if I want a free toothbrush. Yes, I want the damn toothbrush. And here it is….
