Just My Thoughts

A lot has happened since I last posted here. Enough to write more than a few chapters in a book if I were writing one.

Friends, new ones made. Some left for various reasons.

I am now co-editor of the Cancer Moon Creations Newsletter. The first edition came out this month. In March we are going to try to get 2 editions of it sent out. This will be a trial run to see how it goes.

Family wise things are good. The boys are with their dad this week. I missed them soon as I left yesterday to come home. I always miss them when I dont get to see them every day.

My tag making is going good. I started doing quick pages. I want to learn how to make my own blog layouts. Thats a goal that I will be working on very soon.

The weather has been strange this winter. We have got more snow this winter than in the last decade. Last week the temps were in the single digits. Yesterday and today the temp has been in the low 50's. Today it rained off and on all day.

I am so ready for Spring to get here so that I can be outside more with the boys. Plant some flowers and tomato plants. Take nature walks with the boys. What is a nature walk you ask? Its where the boys and I go for a walk and look at things in peoples yards or along the street that has to do with nature. On day while walking
we saw a walnut tree. Walnuts in the hulls covered the side of the road and there were a few in the road that had been smashed by traffic. We stopped to look at one of the smashed walnuts. I told the boys about the hull, how you have to remove the green hull to get to the nut inside. I told them that the juice from the inside once smashed stains your hands and any thing that it gets on. I also told them once the walnuts are hulled you have to spread the nuts out and let them dry before you crack them to eat. This also brought back memories of how Momma used to use walnuts in cakes, make black walnut fudge and how we would all just sit around Momma and crack the walnuts and eat them. Black walnuts are best after the first frost.

I am tired and not feeling well so until next time I hope things are going well for you and yours in your own little piece of the world.
