The camera and computer are speaking again

The winds of March are still hanging about. I looked out to the garden and things are here and there. I thought I secured everything. The chimes are sounding lovely. I can tell how windy it is when the buoy bell begins to sound off.... then it really is gusty. So far just gentle sounds.
The other day I discovered that I was out of dried Rosemary. So on the list it went. Like most crafters I hated to toss out the container... we all know how many uses we can find to use them.  It was washed and left to dry which reminded me of my garden.

This is my Rosemary bush in the garden... it is about 3 feet wide and as high. So I decided to pick, wash and dry some.

This morning I removed the Rosemary from the stems and now the kitchen smells of Rosemary. My hands still smell also even after several hand washings. Tonight my garden Rosemary will be added to my pork chop. Next will be to dry some of my Oregano.
Usually when I have a computer problem I call The Geek Squad, they remotely fix the problem and all is well. Wednesday,  the guy at the other end of the phone did not know what to fix... could not fix it. Off to Best Buy yesterday afternoon. It took Ethan just 5 minutes and he figured it all out

Finally after  7 years of daily use, the cable is worn out. This is a Memory Card Reader … this eliminates the cable ad now voilà, all is good again. Well, with the camera and computer that is.

This is the start of my embroidered towel for the kitchen. Plans are to continue this weekend. In the meantime, Spring has arrived at the hacienda...

The Sisters and the Angel are on the mantel. Dianna gave them to me and has a matching set! When a candle is lit in the Angel it casts a lovely light. Normally these are atop my bedroom curio. I like to change decorations around the house. Everything looks new again from a different spot. The frog family also has a new place...

They moved to the Sidebar in the dining area. These are very special to me. They belonged to my Grandma Piccirilli. When I was a child they sat in her kitchen above the stove. I always wanted them and when she passed my dad got them for me. A sugar, creamer and tea/coffee pot. They probably are around 90 years or more old.
So, that is what is happening around here. No plans for today or the weekend. Hope the days are less windy so I can enjoy sitting outside. This wind causes lots of sneezing for me. I do have to fill the birdbaths so the Doves have a supply for drinking in the garden and the Mockingbird has a place to bathe out front. Always so nice to have you visit with me. Thank you for the kind words and for your friendship.

Always something....

Yesterday there were clouds then rain fell. Clouds arrived and the sun was out briefly. Thunder was heard then the rains started again. This morning clouds and wind... and I do mean wind. Of course wind does mean the chimes sing nicely. So far I have not seen much sunshine or rain drops but I am not counting either out just yet. I checked on The Doves and the tail feathers are really flickering in the wind. Glad they decided on having their home in a safe area of the garden.
Although I had some issues to attend to yesterday morning by the afternoon I was sitting and started my embroidery. Not wanting to push my hand I did not sit in my comfy chair too long though. What was that? A picture of my embroidery start? That is the "Always something" part of my post. It would seem the camera and computer are not speaking to one another. Pictures currently prefer to remain hidden in the camera. So, that means a call to my buddies at the Geek Squad.

I can introduce you to the newest baby bunny...yes, I have been seeing him wandering out from the same bush as Oliver. Baby bunnies are so cute! Tiny and fluffy and seem fearless. I am always amazed that unlike puppies and kittens who stay close by the parents, bunnies automatically come out and move around by themselves. I was able to upload this picture just the other morning.
Anyway, one errand today and back to the embroidery hopefully later.  In the meantime, there is a bed waiting to be made and those House Faeries have not arrived and there are a few other chores, so off I go. Glad you visited today. Thank you for your kind words and encouragement and most of all your friendship.
