It's March

 The snow is melting! It's too soon to hope for spring, but I enjoy the warmer temperatures.

 So Welcome to March!

It's Sunday, so lunch with Frank and Charlotte. Today is Frank's birthday, and he picked Olive Garden for lunch. Yum, soup and salad. I love the chicken gnocchi soup. 

And as always, F*ck the Felon, ice, and anyone dumb enough to support them. 

 

 

Bye Bye February

It's going to be in the 50's today and tomorrow, a tease for spring. Then back into the 30's Monday. We've had some melting, but there is probably still over a foot of snow on the ground. 

I worked off and on for 2 hours yesterday, and finished the fabric sorting and organizing! The top picture is in the guest room. Batting on the top. Flannel taking up a full two rows! Then floral, asian, novelty, and on the bottom shelf, large pieces.

The white cabinet holds all the Christmas and other holiday fabrics.

The bottom cabinet, which goes back on both sides, holds black and grays, pinks, reds, blues, greens, neutrals, oranges, yellows, purples, and scenes. I'm so happy to have the project done, it took about 10 hours all together. Now I don't have to root around to find anything.

I made us eggs and bacon for breakfast. I made mine into a taco, with the hidden valley spicy sauce. 

It's the last of February! I stayed within .4 pounds of when the month started, which isn't terrible, but not great. I only read 2 books this month, which is low for me. I got a lot of another scrapghan finished, two strands double crochet with an H hook. I'll run out of scrap yarn before it's done, so it'll get put away for a while.
 

Some melting

 After the snowplow got stuck on our street, they never plowed the street, and there was 2 feet of snow in front of our driveway and property. The next day, I emailed the mayor, and the director and the foreman of public works, explaining my concerns. The biggest concern is that we are in our 70's, and EMS would not be able to reach us. In an hour the street was plowed, and they did a beautiful job. I emailed again to thank all involved.

We've had some melting, and the weekend temp is predicted to be in the 50's, so a lot should melt.

Organized chaos! I'm working between the closets in the sewing room and guest room, and a freestanding cabinet in the sewing room. When we redid the rooms a few years ago, fabric was just shoved into the closets, with no organization. 

Last week I decided I need to organize! I've been doing an hour per day, because that's all my knees will tolerated. I've been doing about 1500 steps in that hour! 

I can't believe the amound of flannel I have, some from  Mom's house and mostly mine. The plan is more oversized baby blankets, and some rag quilts.

I've got piles in both rooms, while I sort. And bins, and a pile on the ironing board that will be tablecloths that Manda requested. 

I did not watch the eons long speech of the convicted felon and pedophile, and from summaries, did not miss anything. F*ck him, F*ck the feeb director, and ice, and anyone who is twisted enough to support any of them.
 

So much snow!

 There's about 18 inches out there and it's still coming down!

Bottom one is the deck! Next above is Ralph's truck. Above that, the county truck got stuck! We're not a county road, so no idea why they were on our street. Above that is the front steps, and the top is Ralph out with the snowblower.

I can't remember the last time we had this much snow! The entire state is in a state of emergency, so all schools closed, and a travel advisory. And it's still snowing!

When we were at Applebee's yesterday with Frank and Charlotte, I got two kids cheeseburger meals to go, and that will be our dinner tonight. 

So far the electric has blipped twice, but came right back on. Fingers crossed it stays on!

And add the Feeb director to my F*ck it list. He was partying with the teams at the olympics- on our dime! Here's hoping England Andy flips on everyone!
 

It's raining, it's pouring!

 The rain is washing away a lot of the leftover snow/ice that's been here for 3 weeks! Good! And yikes, possibly another snowstorm this weekend! Fingers crossed that it is only a little snow.

This is the current state of the guest room bed! Christmas fabric sorted by background color.

 

Gnomes and birds! I had no idea there were birds for all occasions til Dan told me. He's also a fan of the little birds. He said to google "target birds" and tons came up. This set of 6 is from Amazon, and I already had the gnomes. I used my sewing room hour to redecorate yesterday.

 Last night I started a new scrap afghan. I think this one might use up all of my partial skeins. 

And as always, F*ck the Felon, ice, and their idiot supporters. 

A finish

 Wow, the temperature has been in the 40's, and we can actually see the ground in spots!

 I finished this late last night! Used up some partial skeins, and some new white.

I got ambitious this morning! Changed out V Day for St Patrick's, have to take some pix. When Ralph got home from his weekly breakfast with the Veterans, I hadn't sat down to eat yet. He changed out the wreaths on the front and back doors for me. 

The guest room bed is covered in piles of Christmas fabric, sorted into the colors of the background. After looking at it all, I know what I want to pull for the reversible quilt for Heather and Ed. 

Heather feels a little better, but shaky and hazy. Jules is sleeping. 

And as always, F*ck to the Felon, ice, and their supporters. 

Back to the routine

 It was so lovely to have Steph and Dan home for too short a time, and to see so much of Heather. But the party's over, and we're all back to our real lives. 

Heather now has covid, and Jules has the flu! We seem to be okay, and so are Steph and Dan, knock wood.

 

Another pic of Ralph and I, with Steph and Dan.

I had bought this as a kit, and decided to do it. It's a pain, so much more sewing than just doing 10 inch squares, but the hard part is done. I'll start sewing the darts today. I do love the fabrics. The kit was from Shabby Fabrics in Idaho.  I order from them frequently.

And the usual F*ck to the Felon, ice, and anyone who supports either. I hope to live long enough to see them all prosecuted like the Nuremberg Trials.
