This polar vortex has
come to visit us again. I’m ready for it
to pass on, move away. This has been the
coldest January that I can remember.
Usually, back on the Farm, February seemed to be the coldest month of
the year, but I change my mind now…
It’s been another lovely,
restful couple of days off. I read four
books, have begun four new masks (got the base coats painted tonight), made a
lovely rib-eye steak with mushrooms & onions and a baked sweet potato. With it being so cold, I have not been outside
often. Only long enough to run into town
yesterday to visit the library.
Last night I watched my
favorite Hayao Miyazaki film, “Whisper of the Heart.” A lovely story about a young writer and the
boy who inspires her to pursue her dreams.
Today I watched “The
Sleeping Beauty” A ballet in three acts with music by Pyotr Illyich
Tchaikovsky, followed by Dante’s Peak with Pierce Brosnan, and then “R.E.D”
which is hilarious by the way. Had never
seen it before.
Now I’m drinking Carmel
Harmony tea with milk and honey while watching “Independence Day” and deciding
what will be the next step in my mask adventure. Because right at this moment, it looks as
though I’m preparing to suit up a couple of superheroes. (Not happening….no purple spandex suits for
me today!)
I also read through all
of my old “Tea Time” Magazines, looking for recipes that I want to try, and
then scanned them into my computer so that I have them for the future. Don’t want to lose any recipes for future tea
party endeavors. At the moment, I’m
thinking I need to do another one around Easter. Maybe after my 5K. In celebration. I’m also contemplating doing Minocqua’s “Fools
Run at Midnight” on April 1st.
Though that would only be a 2K, a good warm up for the end of the month
though.
I made the mistake of
setting the masks down on my keyboard to dry.
Now I have a little bit of paint smudged on some of the keys. Definitely lends an artistic temperament to
my computer, who I have yet to name.
Well, the masks are almost finished, with the exception of a final coat
of Modge Podge to make them shiny and protect the paint. Then I shall send them off…. Soon-ish that
is.
