Blooming Trees and Finished Rugs

 

I love Wednesdays. I always feel like I can take a deep breathe and see to the end of the tunnel. All of you who are having snow, well, I bet you are looking forward to spring.  Here is a picture of spring. I went out in the back, and here was our Acacia tree, it even had bees. I talked harshly to it too. I told it about how it wasn't spring and it had fallen for a trap.

 

I had to go buy feed this week. Do you know what I learned? After loading my feed in the store, dragging this loaded cart out to the parking lot, and then lifting all of the bags into the back of my car. I have rethought this Women's Lib thing and I think we are the looses because of it.  I might have when I was young, wanted all that that freedom offered, but I can tell you from this vantage point, I miss days when men were men and women were ladies. I can't even believe I wrote that. But lifting all of those feed sacks three times knocked some sense into me.

 

Someone asked me the other day if I was watching Downton Abbey.  I said yes, I was but was not really enjoying it as in years past. This is why.
Pretend you have a friend, whom you liked and shared so many things with. You trusted them and it was a wonderful friendship. Then one day, the friend just betrays and stabs you in the back. You work really hard at forgiving. At a later date the friend wants to be good friends again and let bygones be bygones. You keep trying but just can't get past the betrayal. Well that is how I feel about Downton Abbey this year. I watch it but I am having a hard time really enjoying it like seasons one and two. Season three, just ruined me on it.

 

Silly blueberries. Can you believe that? I have spoke harshly to them as well. I walked out to the apricot trees and examined buds, and really spoke bad to them. If and I hope it is a big if, we get cold every thing will turn brown and dry up and no crop for this year.

I finished my chicken rug yesterday. I can hook chickens faster than just about any pattern I ever do. I think maybe I just really like chickens. ::)

It was fun to work on this rug. It does make spring seem closer than it is.

I hope you have a lovely Wednesday,
