Lawdy, Lawdy these gray days of the Ohio Valley

So what's the solution for these gray days and you can't take a trip to the Caribbean?  Well, it's a Happy Light of course.  Well, maybe not.  It does brighten the room, however and it can't get too bright for me.  

Also, this is the time of year we should all be "fluffing/fondling" our fabrics.  It's really hard to remember all the fabric I have so a once over of my material is a great way to remind me, I don't need any fabric this year.  It will be a stash busting year for me.  

If all else fails, in the happiness department, and things are out of your control, put out a bird feeder and take pictures...smile. 

Charlie bit me

No, No, No...words of wisdom I need to follow

This is a fat bird

It's snowing here. 

I don't know what kind of bird this is.  And, maybe he's all feathers, but, I sometimes feel bloated like this.  Then I do some exercise and I feel pretty good and remind myself, that quality of life is about wellness and how we maintain our physical and spiritual selves. 

I'm feeding my physical self, right now, with the Gaiam Company's Pallates and Yoga dvd's.  Both are and hour long and so far I've been exercising 3 times a week and doing other things on those days I'm not using the DVDs. 

My spiritual self, I'm not so good at.  I think I might join a bible study at our church for that. 

Ah well, life goes on and we make quilts...smile.

This isn't NYC, it's just funny

Poor New York City

Frogs and the Chicks are home...smile

My husband likes to buy me roses.  I'm so blessed.  When the roses are on the fading end of beauty, is when the frogs come out.  I don't why they are called frogs, but, for minimal display of flowers, they are best.

My chicks are both home, well, sort of.  You know we want them to have friends, but, we like to have them see us too.  Our lovely Chelsea is just way too popular for her dad's and my liking.  I guess I should be happy she's here for a week and we get to see her some.  She's too old to ground and who would be in New Mexico to make sure she stays there.  Maybe we could pay her lovely dog Fawn to do the dirty work.
