Mtn Man took the day off Friday so, we could get some things done around the farm before the cold weather hits us this next week. We have been very fortunate or not, as of late with warm weather. Last night (thurs.), brought a cold that is affecting my arthritis something terrible! Despite all that, we soldiered on gathering wood. Mtn Man says it will be a 'woody weekend'. Hmmmm We cut off about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. I headed for the 'she shack' to work on fixing Lyfa's blanket. The buckle is broken so it has to be replaced. Easy fix!! Thank the lord for that! After gathering and stacking wood my arms can't take much more hard work for today! Well I am off to do a bit more editing on my manuscript. Seems this takes forever.......very anxious for the next step...page design. Until next time........ Copyright © 2017 M.E. Masterson All Photographs Copyright © 2017 M.E. Masterson

And if you are truly a "dead beat" Dad or sperm donor shame on you! Every kid needs their dad! Well got off track on that one. Speaking of track while I was hanging laundry I noticed these little buggers (tiny ants) making trail across my clothesline from the Walnut tree. Can you imagine how long it takes them to get across there then I come along and throw a wrench (clothes) in their trail? ...

I am looking out the window and white stuff is falling out of the sky, again! I just keep reminding myself that it is February.  I did see a little hope that spring is coming.....despite the snows best effort my daffodil bulbs are popping up everywhere. ****************************************************************************** The other day I ran across something I hadn't seen before. Arm Knitting ! Have you heard of such a thing? I guess it is the new kraze for making infinity scarves and blankets. I watched this video as I am visual kind of person and I caught on quickly. So I went to work making a lap blanket last night only took me two hours. It was fun! I am all fingers and thumbs when it comes to working with needles and hooks. My bio mother tried to teach me on numerous occasions but I just couldn't master the skill whatsoever! This arm knitting I got! After researching it more found more ideas on yarn ( I used what I have plenty of) and what they do with it b...
