The days have Marched on

March...goodness where is the time going? I am not sure what exactly is the reason I have been absent from my blog. I have been working on my Handkerchief Quilt... a little.
Hasn't been easy with Murphy wanting to help. But it is a start. Speaking of the boy...
Excuse the view through the screen, I took this a few minutes ago.... compare to the first window picture...
goodness, this was at 4 months old and today at 7 months! He is a bit more than a Mini Schnauzer, and that is from the vet. He is now able to remove things from the counter edge or the table with little difficulty. He certainly keeps me hopping during the day. Murphy does not like the rain... but, when we first got him he did not mind walking in the pouring rain. His personality is really coming out! Definitely going to school.
We are in day 3 of rain....sometimes poring rain. At the moment it is just damp and cloudy. Swishing #2 is on as is Fluffing #1. I thought about just staying in my PJs and doing nothing, but the fairies are not here today.
One of Alan's officers brought in fresh picked Tangelos...they are so delicious. I picked fresh lemons the other day...
Isn't this the perfect bowl? It is one that Lisa had. So nice to be picking fresh fruit and veggies and herbs in February/March.
Soon the fragrance of orange blossoms will fill the air. In the meantime, I need to get back to the laundry area....
Thank you to those who reached out to me to check on me. I really am fine but there are days to deal with. Murphy just settled down to nap so I may join him with a cup of tea. Glad you stopped by. Thank you for your kind words and concern and thank you for your friendship.

I find it lovely that your days are filled with new things that are taking your time and enjoyment. Murphy has certainly grown a lot in those few months. The lemon bowl is very pretty.

Murphy is such a cutie! He always has such a look of anticipation, like "what's going to happen next?" I know he brings so much joy to your days.
So... this rain has done a number on our roof and last night part of the master bath ceiling collapsed. Oh my. I've never had this issue before and I hope I never have it again. A company came out and put a tarp over the roof where necessary. HO insurance will not pay because it's not hail damage. We need to find a roofer and SOON!

Murphy has grown so much these last couple of months! He's still a cutie, though.

Gracie: I love the quilt.
Murphy is so adorable.
My dog likes rain snow anything, she just likes to be outdoors.
You are so lucky to be able to pick fresh fruit.

Hugs

Stay Healthy.
