Cold, wet and dreary, yup, that sums it up. It's typical spring in the mid-west. You start feeling sassy, enjoying the warmth of the sun deep in your cold aching bones. You start daydreaming about planting, about the feel of the sun on your bare shoulders, about sandals and sundresses... and thing BAM!
Winter comes running back in. Laughing hysterically at your naivety. The cold, wet wind digging into your very core reminding you that you once again fell for the trick. Forgetting that it happens every stinking year. As both the Red buds and the Dogwoods are blooming, I'm not sure if this is Red Bud winter or Dogwood winter. Whichever it is definitely holding on hard.
Just as summer refuses to be polite at the end of the season and exit in a graceful manner, winter is the same way. Seems the two seasons with the potential to be the ugliest, often refuse to be cordial and give way to the softer seasons. They are the ultimate bullies.
I slipped on a t-shirt and sweater when I got ready to face the day. Now I am wondering if a heavier sweater is needed to combat this chill. It's a pretty much inside kind of day. Although I need to run out the farm where I buy my goats milk and some eggs, I think today will be a bundle up kind of day. Considering turning up that darn thermostat, because 65° is feeling a bit too cool today. Unless I'm giving up on adulting and curling up in a quilt all day.
Oh don't tempt me.
Today is definitely going to be an adulting kind of day. I never made it to the kitchen to soap, nope not surprised. Storms rolled in and my pups needed extra support. They were the kind that bother both of them and considering Beau's latest seizures could have been triggered by the storms (according the vet the extreme anxiety they cause could be a trigger) I admit I was a bit apprehensive.
So I am definitely behind. I have an order to work on, the cantry to prep (yeah that fell by the wayside also - Beau loves the basement, unless it's storming...), the house to tidy (you try living with two big baby pups - you'll understand). And all the grown up stuff to do. Go pick up milk, order meds, and anxiously await my new treasures.
Hubs got me a new table for my featherweight, so I have more flexibility of where I sew, it's my birthday present, but as usual he can't wait. I told him I'd gladly wait, although I am sure it will be set up and tested out before bedtime. I'll admit, I'm pretty excited about it. I love my featherweights, but having a comfortable spot to use them is always a bit of a struggle.
And of course the long awaited freeze dryer arrives today. I'm excited and stressed over it. I hate learning curves and tend to stay in my happy comfortable zone. This one will have a huge learning curve. Or maybe not, I guess I could be giving myself anxiety over something that will be super simple. Guess we'll find out.
I'm hoping the rain is passed, because that beast will be delivered on a pallet and I will need Hubs' help to get it to its new spot. He is working at one of his furthest out buildings today, so who knows when he will be home for the day. I'm hoping early. He worked an incredibly LONG day yesterday and he's tired.
As I said today is a day for adulting, so... I've got 9 am meds to prepare and then I am going to head out to grab my milk and eggs, so I am home when the deliveries happen. I swear the soap will be made before this week is over... Please Lord, give me the focus to get it done...
Love and peace everyone! Stay warm, safe and cozy!
