End of Winter Or??

 February just keeps on ticking by! This is the final week and for myself personally, it has gone fast!

Although, not too sure about all of this cold we have had, and WIND! My goodness out here on the prairie the winds have been awful! 

But I am very grateful, thus far, we have been healthy and not too much shoveling!

I finally finished with my Physical Therapy sessions after  six weeks of going, that feels like a major accomplishment in itself! To make along story short, last fall I started having what I referred to as contractions in both legs, usually in middle of the night, not like cramps, but the legs would be just super tight and hard, more annoying than anything else, Then Dec 19, I woke up to a contracted right leg that I could not straighten, could not even get the toes to touch the ground, needless to say did not walk much for approx. two weeks, x-rays showed an anterior pelvic tip along with some vertebrae fractures, which I was told  "age" WHAT!? I am so healthy otherwise this can not be happening! Well, 5 fractures and tipped pelvic region  PT gave me and worked with me on strengthening the core, which weakened for me over years of how I sit and do my hobbies and  how I sit with clients for my job. Needless to say, now I am very grateful I can walk, still have leg tremors, but hope that in time as I strengthen this will subside! DO NOT take for granted  EVER being able to rise and shine  in your form!!

I just ordered some garden seeds! Anticipation and hopeful :)

I have been crocheting, made a few preemie baby hats along with some some blankets to match, when I get bored with those  I create a scrunchie or two and then go back to the blankets. Anyone else  have multiple projects going at the same time? Something I have always done I guess. But I do eventually finish them!!






The hats appear bigger in photos  but only measure approx 4 inches, I did not realize how much need there was in the hospitals and NICU units for such but happy I can do such!!


Oh! Another thing in February I accomplished, Sourdough English Muffins! Oh my gosh  sooo good!

One less thing I have to buy at grocery store, and not hard to do!   WINNER WINNER~


Well until next time~  Stay warm and Healthy and enjoy each day as it  comes!!!

Time: Friend Or Foe

 I can not deicide for the life of me, if time is a friend or a foe! Anyone else ever feel like BAM a year gone by! 

 Sadly, I can not even tell you what I was busy with, other than just work and life!

 We are still in a battle with our so called new  home, still not finished out, windows leak, seems to a be a revolving issue in this area with multiple contractors and  it is absolutely draining me! I reached a point this last year,  I do not even care, just let it be! I am tired and exhausted from their lies and excuses and no shows for the job site. So with that out of the way that's likely been our largest hurdle in life as recent!

We now have our fifth and final so they say, grandchild :)   A little girl born Jan 13, so this daughter now  has 3 little girls, ages 3 weeks,  soon 2, and soon 8.  Our oldest daughter has two boys, ages 9 and 4! So fun to watch them all grow and evolve... Ya again, I simply do not know where time went!!

As for me, We still farm, I still work doing my in home practice  of Reiki and Trigger point therapy, Hope to retire in next 2 years! I have cut back, allowing for old lady to have more time to get her own stuff done!  My plan is to be able to retire and then create full time in arts and craft!

I recently finished  three baby (Preemie) hats and a small blanket to match. Hope by end of this week to get them listed in my etsy store and then create more! My new found love is making felt food for my soon to be 2 yr old grand daughter. So far I have created some eggs, and a chocolate chip cookie and a donut. I will try  in next post to get some decent photos of all the said above!

Tis the time of year too I find myself in a lot of  daydreaming in the garden seed catalogs! Soon!!!

Soon ...the day will be longer and will be more to do and still time will be  either  friend  or foe,  regardless, I hope to get better at taking you with me~  Until next time~  Stay warm and healthy!!
