It's Spring in the Ozarks Today

 (if you are visiting me from the blog party please also visit my post and giveaway here  I will draw the two winners sometime in early morning Feb. 1st) 



 Last night on the 9 pm news, the weatherman said we are now at our lowest temp-as we will be climbing threw the night and today. He was right we woke up 60 degrees and are headed towards 75 degrees-is that wild or what? 
   The spring bulbs are already confused and are popping threw the ground already-not good, and the birds are singing away as if it was spring time. I don't even need a jacket outside this morning.
   The air is very thick and heavy as well, hopefully tomorrow we can get some much needed rain here. In a couple days though we will be back to normal temps-low in the 20s.
  This morning, I think I will make some more animal critters soap-but in different colors. Thinking purple perhaps since I am using lavender eo. am also going to make some mini heart guest soaps, I have a few different heart molds-and need to get a few hearts up in my shop for valentines.
  My craft room is now pretty organized and I can actually see the floor in spots, and get to things-which is a biggie. Next up will be to wash down and oil my rug loom, and two spinning wheels, do some dusting in there, and clean the floor as best I can-anxious to get started back on the crazy quilt block I did, and finish making it into a pillow. Also want to get started on my January block of the month for the civil war quilt I am following along with on Barabara Brackmans civil war blog.
  Since it is so warm out there today, I will be taking a long walk, and hopefull I can get Nikita to take a short walk too, she has not been wanting to for a week now.
  Off to get going on my day-enjoy yours as well.

Here is one of my favorite photos of Nikita, taken several years ago. This fenced in area is the length of our entire front of the house, with an overhang over the front of the house-so she always has a huge space, along with shade if she wants it.  She has been part of our family since the summer of 1998, so she is an old lady now.

  1. Wow, that really is warm for this time of year!! I got heavy rain (again!!!) and gale-force winds. Wanna swap?? LOL. Despite it being cold and very wet here, I noticed some daffodil shoots are appearing in places here already.

    Lovely shot of Nikita. Hope she decided to go for a walk with you today :-))

  7. You can make a blog here that has multiple authors so that everyone writes their effort on the same blog and then you set it so that the blog can only be read by those who are its authors if you want to male it private or leave it open to everyone.

    It is the only way I know of of keeping everyone close together.

    This is indeed a pain in the ass now. I'd like to stay with them but the question becomes, are they coming back or have they pulled the plug?

    I know from a comment from Mamakat that they were changing servers and that caused the slow down. Maybe it bombed. i just don't know. I;ll give it a day or two before I start trying to round up friends for an effort elsewhere.

  10. You puppy is beautiful. I have two toy fox terriers. One is 13 years and the other one 12.
    They are slowing down and it is very sad to see them this way. We have so much love to give the and they give so much more back.
    Would love to see a picture of the crazy quilt pillow top yo are making.
    And you can have our rain. We have had so much that we have water damage in our home. Insurance company are being very good and sending out someone with a tarp tomorrow in the am to put it over our roof. Then we just have to wait out turn to have an insurance adjustor here. XX Kathleen

  11. We woke to springtime temps yesterday as well. I am enjoying it for a change, except for the rain. I am thankful none of my flowers are coming up yet, as it's getting back to the single digits tomorrow!
