spring is here!

Well, the long winter is over. It is officially spring! I know, we will probably get more snow, but it is NO LONGER winter, and that makes me VERY happy! After living in southern regions of the US for the past 8 years, i had forgotten how much i enjoyed four seasons, and the anticipation of them all. Spring has always been a favorite of mine, and the only thing i find myself REALLY missing is having any crocus or other spring bulbs planted. I forgot to order mine last fall. that will not happen this year...i will get my catalog from Roozengaarde soon, and will place my order NOW! they will ship according to the planting schedule for my zone.

I just bought some new fabric for curtains, and will post pics as soon as i get them up. JoAnn's has some cute new stuff, and i was happy to see that all patterns were $1.99 over the weekend.

I am still not totally ok with the BSG ending. I thought i was, i was happy with how everyones storyline was tied up, but the more i think about the ending with Apollo and Starbuck, the more annoyed i get. it is like they could not think of anything, so they just went with a half-arsed easy ending.

I just finished an AMAZING book, Skeletons at the Feast, by Chris Bohjalian. The story of an aristocratic German family in the last days of WWII, and their journey to the west, along with a POW, and jewish man. I have not read a book this good in a VERY long time, and it was a welcome change from some of the mind-numbing reading i have subjected myself to lately!

Such a bad blogger!

Oh boy...the longer you go without posting, the harder it is to get back to it. And then there is the pressure that Miss G puts on me to post pics! well...i am going to be lazy and not post a pic for this post. But, i will try and get some downloaded tomorrow of all the SNOW GEESE that have been migrating north for the past two weeks. It has been awesome to see them. The best thing they signify? the passing of winter!

Tonite is the final episode of BSG. Boo Hoo! Hoping for a final, wonderful Apollo-Starbuck moment.

Fun Stuff!

I got a fun package in the mail from Miss Gaylen while Jason was home on leave. She sent me two pairs of jammies, a book, a fun knitting mag, candy (for Jason...she knows he is a candy freak!), and the BEST mug. The mug is from Waechtersbach, which is a German company. We lived about an hour from their factory when we were there, and i went as often as i could, and stocked up! I knew the mug was from there before i even flipped it over and saw the distinctive Waechtersbach stamp! Thanks G, i love it all!!
