Crafty Wednesday, the Garden and more.

I have the next three days off work.  Dude was off helping his daughter who was in a car accident yesterday. She is doing okay but her car is totaled and she was very sore today. 

I needed to get ready for Easter and wanted to make something for the gates. 

I got a couple of pieces of Styrofoam and cut out a shape of a rabbit. 



Spray painted them, both sides. 


And tied them with a large ribbon to the gate.  Later the dog barked at them until he found them not to be a threat.





I have been wanting to try a box card for a while but was intimidated by them. I used the cartridge from Cricut called All Occasion Box Cards.  Instead of adding the cutouts inside they had , I used Easter buttons and removed the shanks. 


I am addicted to these cards and will make more. 


They fold nicely .


And fit into an A2 envelope. 


This is Holy Week and I took time out to take a rosary walk with the dog and sheep.


Dude has been catching up in the garden.  We are way behind but, for Colorado, we have time to catch up.  We were travelling a lot and then we had issue with dud seeds causing us to start all over.  


Garlic, radishes, and carrots are coming up after only a few weeks. The garlic was planted long ago to get a good freeze before coming up. 


Lettuces and spinaches. 


I spent the rest of the afternoon moving rock to the base of the house so nothing grows next to it and ruin the siding. 

Tomorrow, more crafting and a nature walk.  We will see what else we can get into. 

peace

Our day and peeps

Our morning begins fairly early at 7am. Remember I work evenings and we don't get to bed until 11pm -12am.   Coffee and tea are made. Animals first is the rule of the house.  Dude heads out to the goats and I head to the chickens.  Food and water and when necessary, cleaning their homes.

Next up is breakfast. Now, I know this breakfast is not for everyone but I love it. Sautéed cabbage, onions and peppers with sesame oil and hot pepper flakes plus a dash of rice wine vinegar topped with an egg.



Lunch will be on the road... apple, peanut butter, with carrots.  Snack pepitas(pumpkin seeds) and raisins.

Dinner tonight is from the pantry.  Tamales and pintos.


Heat them up. Served over a bed of chopped lettuce, tomato and onions. Ymmm

Every year we have an Easter Eggcellent Eggstravaganza for our family. We have an egg toss competition, spoon and egg races and .... Peep-o-rama competition. Everyone makes a diorama from peeps.  Here are some from past years.







Wonder what everyone will make this year?

Short post today so I can start sewing some new pants before heading to work. 
Hope you day is wonderful.
