Ups and Downs of Sales and Sun

The sun is out.  We've had days of gray mist.  Yesterday it rained torrents, more like early spring rains.  It would have been a blizzard had the temp not been 65 F.  Yes, 65!  We can blame global warming but southern New England weather is strange.  I can remember a number of holiday seasons with unseasonably warm weather.  There was one Christmas when I was a kid which started with five inches of snow and by ten AM had warmed up to 70.  We watched the snow melt before our eyes and played in the snow in shorts!

Our sale ended on Sunday.  I did about twice as much as I expected to...which made me happy!  On the other hand, one of my reindeer (of course the favorite) was stolen.  Bummer!  It had to have been someone with a lot of gall because it was in a secure area.  We are thinking about how to implement better security....that goes without saying!  I'm sure I'm not the only one....which means the SCAA is losing money too.  It's discouraging as this is a major fund raiser.



We are switching wood stoves today and tomorrow.  We've been waiting for good weather as it will entail many open doors.  It should have been done a few months ago, but life got in the way!

There have been requests for the Cuban Bread recipe.  Just click the link.  I wrote the whole thing out....along with a few ladybugs!

It looks like it will be a good day to finish up some outside stuff....Winter just tried a roll of paper towels as a good chewy toy.

Have a sunny day....as always, thanks for stopping by............*s*
