A Day In The Life...

 Things are a bit quiet right now, with winter and recovering and all.

I am feeling so much better but I have not been out much.

My little brain has started to swirl some ideas around, bucket list items that are winter appropriate.

I want to get out and take some pictures and I want to have some fun.

I have a few ideas...nothing big, just a small step in the wellness, back to normal direction.

In the meantime, I pitter patter around the house, cooking, cleaning, knitting....

I have organized a few areas of the house which I enjoy and at night I knit.

In the morning,

after finishing my "self care" and checking the computer, I usually put together an online puzzle.

Jigsaw Explorer

New everyday, they hold just the right amount of challenge, and only take a few minutes.

The hubs and I play Wordle together almost every day.

Then it is down to work, 

yes, I do some work from our home office, we own a bit of real estate and I help the hubs manage it. 
Yesterday, during a break from my desk, I took a little shuffle outside.

It was sunny and 60 degrees, a beautiful day.

My spring bulbs are starting to make an appearance.

The hubs plants all of them, 500 in total, tulips and daffodils...

I don't know the colors or placement so I am always surprised when they pop up and bloom.

I started my next knitting project...

The "Simple Yet Effective" Cowl

I am knitting with hand dyed Alpaca yarn, the color is Paisley.

The yarn was dyed by my good friend Liz.

I generally only knit at night, but because I have not been out, I am sneaking in a little daytime knitting.

I wonder around this big ole' house, I don't mind cleaning it, but it can be a daunting task. 

I like to organize "spots", organizing is my jam.

I tend to my little indoor garden, watering and cleaning up any dead foliage.

I think my Christmas Cactus is a little confused, it is getting flowers again.

Or maybe it is just a cactus.

My other cactus is having babies...this has never happened before.

Do any of you still get magazines?

I get these 2 magazines every month, but I did not subscribe to them.

I have not ever paid for them and the delivery name and address is mine!

I enjoy reading them, there are a lot of advertisements.

The food and Wine recipes are way over my head, and use way too many ingredients.

I cook most nights but have not been taking pictures.

This was so good and all you need is a hunk of bread to go with it.

 Zuppa Toscana

I have made this twice and it is so good.

It is the Olive Garden copycat recipe, the only change I made was I used sweet sausage.

We are spice adverse.

The recipe calls for spinach and I use spinach, the restaurant uses kale, either would be fine.
