Winter Weather and Computers

Well, Last week was not the most productive as far as study time went. I am to the point in my semester where papers are going to be due, and that is highly distracting somehow. Luckily, My replacement laptop is on its way! I'm so excited about that! I leave home most every day to study for between 2-5 hours, which is when most of my quality work  (typically) is done. My new computer should be here on Tuesday, so Happy Valentine's to Me!


We are having a beautiful snowy day here in Utah today. A soft snowfall has been coming down all day. Which for those that are sad about the low snow year, is a really good thing.  I'm kind of excited too. It Feels like cleaning and spinning weather for the week (Yay) And I am very much looking forward to my projects this week.
Last week, if you recall, I decided to finish a first -attempt painting of a dolphin (go me for finishing it). I  finished it on Thursday night. I will say it's a rather rough first attempt, but since I have extremely minimal experience with painting, I think it turned out OK. I will try and attach a photo later, but my camera seems to be MIA at the moment.

This week, along with the usual brigade of school, housework, and the like, I have a couple of Special projects I will be attempting to complete.

The most new and experimental project will be done on Friday, and that is the construction of my Hoop House so I can have some early cold crops in the two to three months before we put the main garden in. I can't wait!
Along with this I plan to start the early plant seeds that will be placed in the hoop house in about 3-4 weeks.
And finally, I'm going to Spin! Yay! Hopefully pictures will follow. Have a beautiful week!

An Update. After a Long break.

December was rough.I spent a lot of time studying and  a lot of time worrying about passing my semester. I found out I passed my classes and I celebrated. By knitting 3 pairs of mittens :)  In about 4 days.

So. Things are really crazy at the house right now. I'm in my last 2 semesters of Nursing School (YIPPEE!!) and all the headache and craziness that goes along with that. E is in 1st grade, C is in Kindergarten, and Rb goes to school in the Fall. Ra just turned 3 and our duckling, O, just turned 1 in December.

And I am getting really itchy. It's been a really mild winter in my part of Utah, and I'm feeling the gardening itch. So. I am thinking about how to distract myself.  So. I am thinking I want to do some painting, during down time in studying, and maybe some spinning. But I also think I'm going to be naughty and let myself  start a few seeds next week. A couple Flowers, a couple herbs, and some lettuce and spinach. Just so I can play in the soil and use my grow lights. But for tonight, Painting. I have a dolphin painting I was working on in December. I am thinking I'll finish it tonight. But I am also thinking I want to do another figurine. Hm. What ever I decide to do I will try to post a picture later.

Have fun!
