Still hiding away.....

Little Miss M is still hiding away and not ready to come out and play. 

She and mom are ok.

She's just stubborn.

Like a mule.

or the rain they keep saying that's coming.  

sigh

Patiently waiting... NOPE

We are waiting on my nephews baby to make an appearance.  Apparently, she has some attitude already.  I don't know where she gets that trait.  

 Neither does my sister.

I asked her soon to be older sister to whisper to her 'Aunt Carla says it is time to rise and shine so come on out!'.  

Alas, that didn't work. 

I forgot to mention... this will be ANOTHER native TEXAN.  YEAH!!!

Happy Birthday!

Yep, I'm 29 again....

 I got to see Miss M when she was visiting her grandparents.  She and my sister took me to El Fenix (favorites for me and Miss M) and we had desert in the car!  She and her dad (my nephew) made cupcakes for me.  They were good too. 

She made me a card too. I love the homemade cards and presents.

I got her a kite and she and my sister went flying.

I love kites.  Brother-in-law didn't get to go because he broke his leg.  

Happy Birthday everyone!

Winter...repeat #567

Wow.  It was 80 on Saturday - nice and warm

Today is Sunday. And it is in the twenties with wind chills near zero.  Yep. You read that correctly.

And the low tonight will be in the teens.  I will not be looking at the 'real feel' in order to save my sanity

At one point this afternoon, there was sleet, thunder and very loud frozen rain along with some serious wind

The kitties and I napped all day in between the storms.   I went out at 7:30 this morning to use the truck (parked out front) ans was surprised when the door was frozen and sleet on the windshield.  It was very very cold.  And weird after it being so warm yesterday.  I had to go get some kite string     Next time, I'll get kite string when I get the kite!

Stay warm and safe

Grumble Grumble

Old man winter came back.

Yuck

If you can't say something nice, then say nothing at all. 

nothing to say today then,

Kicked that Old Man Winter Out of the Way!

Yes, I know it is still February.

Yes, it can still freeze until late March or early April.

But by golly, it is f.i.n.a.l.l.y warm here.  Warm enough that I swear it was in the 60's more than once last week as I ran from the car to the train.  A.n.d better yet, if I wore my coat (yes, the other mornings were still in the low 30's), I didn't need it when I got off the train. 

Boy do I ever have spring fever.

Even made a run to 2 garden centers this morning, plotting and planning.

It's about time old man winter went away.  Don't come back for at least 5 years!  No more icy roads and frozen garden.
