Did we really have a month of February? \u00a0I know it\u2019s a short month, but, really? \u00a0It simply flew by. \u00a0I managed to get a Christmas gift completed, David did most of our Christmas shopping because the store where he works had a great sales plus he got his discount. \u00a0I know we sound kind of crazy, but the more we get done before next December, the more we can enjoy the \u00a0holidays.<\/p>\n

February had some brutally cold days. \u00a0It seems we spent the time letting dogs in and out of my shop because we had below zero temps. \u00a0We are going to put heat in what once was the chicken coop and insulate it well so next Winter they will have a warm place to sleep where David doesn\u2019t have to get up early to let them out. \u00a0It\u2019s been hard on him, I know, even though he doesn\u2019t complain.<\/p>\n

I have made a couple of quilts for the quilt group I joined on Facebook.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nThis is the one for February.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nThis is March\u2019s quilt already pieced. \u00a0I am also working on April\u2019s quilt. \u00a0I want to get ahead because when it gets warm out,I want \u00a0to be outdoors. \u00a0I am quilting them all on my sewing machine which only takes an hour or two to do these small quilts.<\/p>\n

We took a short trip to Martinsville to visit their candy shop there.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nI was like, well, a kid in a candy shop!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nOn the left are all kinds of wonderful candies you can buy. \u00a0On the right is their ice cream bar and seating. \u00a0We both got two dips of ice cream on waffle cones. \u00a0I chose Oreo and caramel pecan. \u00a0David chose orange pineapple and black cherry. \u00a0They were good. \u00a0Only candy we bought was a small bag of lemon drops. \u00a0I have \u00a0had way too many sweets lately and my birthday is this week and although I am not going to have a cake, David will get me donuts for my birthday. \u00a0Then it is back to fruits and vegetables for me.<\/p>\n

Another place we drove to was to the Ice Tree. \u00a0The only Ice Tree in Indiana, I believe. \u00a0It is truly a work of love for this one family who has been building this tree for decades and they allow people to drive onto their property to see it for free. \u00a0We took a couple of our friends to see it a few years ago, but we wanted to see it again.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It is a lot bigger than it looks in this picture. \u00a0Pretty colors all through it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here I am \u00a0in front of it.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nThis looks like a person got frozen by it!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nit was fun to see it. \u00a0Some tv channel got permission for someone to climb up it, but it is off limits to everyone, otherwise. \u00a0We have had warm temperatures the last week so I imagine the tree has melted a lot.<\/p>\n

David is off work this week and we plan a little job for us. \u00a0Guess what it is.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nit involves this\u2026..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nand this\u2026..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Doing this\u2026\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And this. \u00a0Our front hallway. \u00a0We were going to hire painters, but decided we could do this small area ourselves. \u00a0I have \u00a0picked a blue color I am not sure about, but we will paint a coat to see how it looks and if I don\u2019t \u00a0like it, David saved some paint chips from the wall now so we can match it again if we have to \u00a0 The walls have several cracks because this old house has settled some through the years so they needed repairs. \u00a0I have future plans of painting our hallway upstairs and our bedroom plus maybe the kitchen cabinets and walls next Autumn. \u00a0We will have the professionals do that.<\/p>\n

I have been planting a few things in my green house. \u00a0Some herbs and leaf lettuce. \u00a0This week I will plant some tomatoes. \u00a0It really won\u2019t be long until we will be planting flowers outdoors again.<\/p>\n

That \u00a0has been our life this short Winter we are having. Seems we are rushed through the seasons by the retailers, but I plan to take it slow.<\/p>\n

Hope you are keeping warm where it is cold and cool where it is hot. \u00a0If it is perfect weather where you are, congratulations! \u00a0Bye.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
