Mellow Sunday Jan. 9

Today turned into a mellow day for me. I heard from

a friend which lost her husband end of 2010.

I can not imagine the pain she is feeling.

Weather forecast is calling for snow for Monday.

2 to 4 inches expected. As a snow lover, I really

don't mind. I do rather love the way it has snowed

this winter so far. A few inches and stays on the

ground for a few days, then melts away, teasing

us with mild temps, which sends me outside to

soak up a little sunshine with my coat on.

Then another storm comes thru and drops a

few more inches of the white to enjoy again.

And the pattern seems to continue so far this winter.

Last week passed by so slowly for me. Don't know

why, it just felt like the days were endless and the

nights were too short. Cabin fever maybe?

I am praying for a little more normal feeling, going

into this new week.

I will, and not put it off, will get out my material

and get Melanie's kitchen curtains made, and with

the left over material, make her some matching

pot holders and place mats.

After I get those done, I have some ideas for some

aprons for me. I seem to always need to wipe my

hands and the towel over the shoulder tends to leave

my shirt damp where it lays. I get a chill every now

and again from that, as it's furnace time.

I will be sure to take pictures and post as I get my

items made. Today, with me being in my mellow

mood, I have only piddled around, cleared some

debris from desk, fixed lunch, run a load of dishes

in the dishwasher, and sat around surfing on the web.

Now I am heading to my easy chair with my book

for an hour or so. Supper time will be here before I

know it. Do people have to eat?
