Welcome



I could say it is to welcome spring, but this is a project I worked on with an elementary religious education group last Sunday.  The kids made the flags and cut out the letters and glued them on.  I completed the banner by sewing on the bias tape at home.

I didn't even realize it was the first day of spring already until around noon today.
By then I was finishing up cleaning the pantry and the kitchen cabinets--spring cleaning!--so I must have sensed the season on some level.

    Love the banner, it's very bright and colorful. Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy the spring weather.

    Spring came in like a lion, well not like a lamb. We had about a 1/2 inch of snow by noon today, but it all melted away.

    Cool banner.

    I thought it was part of the quilt. I think the day length brings about a metabolism change in us all. New energies, etc.

    What a neat project! What type of group do you teach? Well, we welcomed spring with a blanket of white snow! I hope it melts quickly!

    Nice job.
    My inner clock said Spring last week and I started my Spring cleaning then. Must be in the air.

    Those kids made nice flags! And thanks for the "welcome" b/c we got none up here in the northeast!

    That looks beautiful on the bed, Olga. We do our cleaning at the new year, but I know we didn't finish everything, so perhaps we should work on it now. Sigh...

    I love the banner! Even though we never truly get winter -- it is spring in southern California, too and I love it! The sky is absolutely beautiful today and it is gorgeous 70. Ahhhhhhhh Spring!

It's TIme

 It's been a while since I have posted anything and even my reading your posts is falling by the wayside. I am in Florida now. I have a yard where little attention was spent on landscaping for the past years so I am slowly and (somewhat) methodically addressing that. I also volunteer to work at the pollinator garden and the edible garden I helped install at the UU grounds and I took over the volunteer job of cleaning out the overgrown community garden by my neighborhood mailboxes. The neighbor who was doing that got sick and could no longer attend to it. It's a bigger job than I'd thought at first -- not only overgrown with weeds, but the plants that are wanted there are in life and death competition for each others' spaces. And two walks a day, morning and evening, so Levi can keep up with addiction to canine social media and a daily rousing came of stick or ball midday take up another chunk of my time. I have a weekly meditation group that I co-facilitate, and my own ...

Life Goes On

There is nothing like a visit from the grand children to remind one that life goes on.  I spent Friday night at my daughter's and then brought the kids back home with me.  I did not get to see so much of them this past summer and it was a birthday gift to my daughter (who just turned 40!) to have a couple of days to herself. She probably spent them in her son's room playing Lego StarWars.  Dane tried to teach me how to play this video game--a hopeless task if ever there was one.  "Concentrate, Grandma!  You have to concentrate!"  I do have a hard time with sustained concentration lately, but in this case I had no clue what it was that needed concentration.  He finally took the controls away from me (thank-you!). It's amazing how long he can amuse himself at my house being out side on a scooter or helping me in the yard, especially if it involves a hose.  Inside, they both sit and draw or craft for hours.  Just before bed, Dane did say, "N...

Eggplant

Mike and I considered ourselves soul mates, but we definitely were not culinary mates.  Mike liked what he liked and disliked what he disliked and he never changed his mind about things like that.  He did not eat mayonnaise.  He did not eat tomato sauce.  He did not eat cooked vegetables except for corn, peas and green beans.  He did not eat onions cooked or otherwise.  He did not eat casseroles ever since they were a combination of things he didn't eat anyway. I did not like mushrooms as a kid and eggplant just made me gag, but my tastes changed,  Foods I found disgusting as a child are now among my favorites--mushrooms, eggplant, avocados, asparagus, eggs, spinach, brussel sprouts, herbs and spices. I will admit that I never developed a taste for liver (nor do I want to). I made this Moussakka a while ago and ate it every day for a week.  I froze half of it but ended up thawing it out right away. It consists of sliced eggplant layered...
