A February Daybook

For Today . . . Monday, February 8, 2021

Looking out my window . . . The sky is brilliant blue and the sun is shining. However, it is so cold that for a little while this morning there were ice crystals dancing in the air. They looked like glitter.

I am thinking . . . that it's a crazy time of the year to make a Christmas tree skirt, but now that my sewing area is all put together, and it's on my list, I think I'll go for it. I'll be pleased I did come December.

I am thankful . . . that Dan's mom finally got her call to have her Covid vaccine:)

One of my favorite things. . . Valentines in the mail.

I am creating. . . Said tree skirt. Also a dust ruffle for the guest room, once the extra fabric arrives. I miscalculated by quite a bit :(

I am reading . . . The Arctic Fury by Greer Macallister

I am watching. . . A Place to Call Home. It's an old series, premiering in 2013 and running for six seasons. It takes place in 1950s Australia, one of those family sagas that has lots of history and a wonderful wardrobe! 

I am hoping. . . for a tad warmer afternoon to go for a walk.

In my kitchen. . . Soup and sandwiches for supper. Later in the week: turkey spinach meatloaf with cranberry and roasted veggies

In my garden. . . it's all so dreary and brown. Not much going on this time of year, so I'm biding my time looking at gardening books and planning a new section for the rose garden. 

Shared quote . . . .
Today is only one day in all the days that will ever be. But what will happen in all the other days that ever come can depend on what you do today.
Ernest Hemingway

A moment from my day .. . going through old photo albums . . . oh, to live with abandon such as this!

    "oh, to live with abandon such as this!"

    I'm afraid too many people (*In Charge*), are too much enjoying, this (Keeping the masses in total fear), to allow Personal Freedoms to return, any time soon.

    Can't wait to see your tree skirt!

    We have had very cold temps here the last two days
    but school has gone on in person. We are talking frostbite cold!
    The rest of the week will not improve.

    Valentine's is fast approaching and I am not prepared
    except for decorations, got those up early.

    So glad your Mother-in-law got her vaccine!

    Enjoy the rest of your week.

    Yes, you'll be busy enough at Christmas with other Christmasy things and you'll be so glad to just pull that skirt out of storage and use it. It is bitter cold here, with wind chill down in the -40 region (which ironically is the same in Celcius and Fahrenheit. Can't wait when we can play however we want once again!
