Daily Notes- Friday, February 11th. Sunshine but driveway still ice covered.

 


One can dream, can't one?  Of Sunshine and Insects?

We had a good day yesterday.  Nothing much happening.  Which is fine.  Some good laughs on the Sports Shows...which is why I watch.  I enjoy a good laugh.  G did excellent work on his coloring book Mandela. It even had added worms along the outside edges. Hand drawn by him. I was impressed.

I am noticing and thinking about some green spotted cloth I have and that little sort of Patchworky bottom section of image up top.  I adore dotted fabric.  I like the wonky look.  And I, of course, like the big circle.  Ideas are rolling around inside my head. I could also try and paint this stripe and dot combo.  I have another piece of cloth in the restaurant sized baking sheet.  Waiting.

I may bake today.  Dee sent me the recipe for the GORGEOUS Irish Soda Bread on her blog.  It's easy enough to get together and into the oven. No yeast involved.  I used to make a more intensive (work wise) Irish Soda Bread with whiskey soaked raisins.  It took "planning" and that isn't my "wheel house" these days.  I sort of drift into things.  And if I drift into a stoppage- I tend to stop and drift over to something else.  No plan in place. But I do have to work on making a substitute buttermilk for the recipe.  I am thinking there is some sort of dairy in the fridge that has gone "past" it's use by date and is nicely sour.

I did a  washload of white and light colors.  It's still drying.  Then I will fold and put away.  The Washing Machine Pages got a bit dark towards the end so I decided not to do a second load of wash.  We'll have clean underwear.  Clean pillow cases.  Clean shirts.  Clean pajamas.  Clean socks.  Clean dishtowels. I call that a "good result" and will go down soon and fold everything before it wrinkles.  That's it for today.
