At least a snowbank is relatively soft landing.<br />My husband watches YouTube and Roku exclusively on his TV--and seems to find endless interest there. <br />The Lemon Meringue pie was not cut until thoroughly cooled--and that took some maneuvering. I made molasses cookies and laid them out in plain sight, while whisking the pie to the downstairs fridge.

I am hoping that things are happening under all the snow we have now...things that will soon be green and growing. Your lemon meringue pie could easily win supreme champion at the county fair for it is the most beautiful I have ever seen. Your hubby didn't cut into it, did he? :~) Our son has taught me how to watch YouTube videos on tv, so now I am thinking we might watch more of Hannah Hauxwell. She was an amazing woman, for sure!Hill Top Posthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12417478558713036325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314065896417867122.post-20421527829374530382021-02-12T20:47:03.440-05:002021-02-12T20:47:03.440-05:00Jennie; Shelby seems to know where to pose to effe...Jennie; Shelby seems to know where to pose to effect. Its a good thing she has her beguiling moments as she is often a lively little nuisance!<br />I've been marking seed catalogs and perhaps should be sending some early orders. I bought a few seeds at discount prices late in the fall--tomatoes, mostly, that I know are good for several seasons.<br />Wild daffodils have sent up tentative shoots--the first to blossom usually get frost-nipped, but ever so slowly spring will come. I need to remember that on these endless cold grey days.<br />The quilt in progress will be my first using the quilt-as-you-go method. I'm a bit wary of it!Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314065896417867122.post-10275927766192696272021-02-12T20:41:40.222-05:002021-02-12T20:41:40.222-05:00Marilyn; Shelby is quite photogenic!

I make a point to look for something interesting when I go out with my camera. Often its bare branches against the sky or seed heads on dried flowers or weeds.Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314065896417867122.post-56555521775781451412021-02-12T20:36:22.794-05:002021-02-12T20:36:22.794-05:00Rainey; I'm glad you enjoyed your visit here! ...Rainey; I'm glad you enjoyed your visit here!

We have been ordering seeds and trying to look beyond this Siberian weather we've had for a week or so now (and which has outstayed its welcome). Looking forward to snow followed by rain as a warm(er) weather front arrives from the West this weekend.<br /><br />I spotted the first crocus flowering in one of my planters today and although everything looks dessicated (freeze dried!), hopefully spring is just around the corner.<br /><br />Hoping to see your latest quilt workings soon.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314065896417867122.post-20744546709576771802021-02-12T10:29:28.967-05:002021-02-12T10:29:28.967-05:00I can't say enough how much I love those pictu...I can't say enough how much I love those pictures of dear Shelby with the wooden and the fabric kitties! Also love the pond picture, so fresh and peaceful looking.

Winter gets us all down and more so as we age doesn't it? I mentioned to Tom the other day that if we didn't have the cats it would be worse. Just looking at them brings so much love and pleasure as I'm sure it does you.<br />Spring is on it's way, keep cheerful and positive Sharon.<br />Briony<br />xcrafty cat cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06251582085392890533noreply@blogger.com
