This weekend was so nice! I saw the first sign of spring, daffodils! There they were, blooming on the bank by the spillway:
Other signs of spring: Lots of campers in the campground, fishermen in boats on the lake, and teenagers wading in the creek:
And the redbud trees budding:
We spent some time checking all the electric hookups and water faucets to make sure they all worked, because the turkey hunting season starts next weekend, and that means the campground is sure to be filled up. We picked up trash, cleaned out fire pits, and just made sure everything looks good.
I have been doing a lot of product reviews over the past couple of months, trying new gluten free things. This morning I cooked us some organic chicken sausage that was really yum! Tomorrow I’ll be trying out some sweet Italian sausage from the same company for dinner.
And as if I didn’t have enough to do, I have joined a group of writers doing a Write For Ten project. We are given a topic each day, and strive to write for ten minutes on that topic. You can see my efforts here. I’m learning that it is sometimes difficult to write for ten minutes, and sometimes my fingers just fly over the keys.
This afternoon, I did some more sewing: another tote bag in a gorgeous green and brown leaf print:
It has two pockets, one of them divided into sections with spaces for pens or pencils:
It is 18″ wide X 9 1/2″ tall, large enough to hold lots of goodies. I’m going to be making some more this week, I hope. Only 5 more days until FabGrandpa has his eye surgery, and only two weeks before I see my grandchildren!
It all starting to happen for you. Hope the op goes well for FG. The bag is great and you seem to whip them up in no time. You are certainly keeping body and mind active. Well done!
Yay for Spring!!! 🙂
I bet you are getting so excited to see the Grandchildren.
Best wishes to FabGrandpa on his eye surgery <3
We’re having signs of spring here in Vancouver, but they’re about a month too early! We’re finally getting some cold weather (since the Olympics are gone!), and maybe a few snow flurries tonight. Although I’m ready for spring, I’d like to see a little snow this winter. I know. I’m sick. But I’m originally from the south and love to see some snow each winter – and we haven’t gotten any this year.
I love your bag!
OH NO! Teenagers! Everybody run for the hills! That’s always a good sign when kids come outside, they know more than that ground hog… maybe?
Just started reading your blog…found you from the Frugalliving group. I love your sewing and the reviews and pictures of the campgrounds. We travel in a motorhome when we can and I am always looking for new, interesting, and inexpensive camping. Thanks for the info.
