Long ago, calendar days were printed in black ink, except for the special, important days. Those were printed in red ink. Every day can't be a red letter day, but every red letter day should be exceptional.

Peeps and other Peeps

I have many many things I need to accomplish today. It's 6pm and I am sure I still have time, right? So, instead of finishing my company books, sending out bills, working on Easter crafts for the shop and special orders (see, I do have things to do!) I am looking at pictures of peeps. Have you SEEN the strange things people do with these rather common little piles of fluff and sugar? What, exactly about a shaped marshmallows makes people go manic? The Washington Post has a Peep Art Contest. Here is the gallery for 2008 and 2009.

Then I found these gems -


Peep Art




Peep Olympics

Jesus of Peeps

Kind of puts a whole new spin on "playing with your food."

Happy Mardi Gras. Happy Fat Tuesday.

It's a snowin'





Gizmo /Murphy
/ Rookie



The snow moved in on Friday night and hasn't left yet. The girls are getting a bit of cabin fever. 4 inches of snow would be a delight to walk them in but the inch of ice on top makes things a bit dicey. So they have been confined to running around the backyard. I am sure they have sniffed every corner of the yard by now.


I spent the time (when I wasn't opening the door to let them in/out) making Easter cards (I will post them soon,) fabric yoyos for another little craft and reading a new book. Oh and working on business paperwork (yuk.) The book is "The Girl with Glass Feet" by Ali Shaw. The reviews said it was "fantasical" and I could not agree more. I have to say it kind of freaks me out thinking about having glass feet. I have enough problems with my own feet as they are!

Joe has actually ventured out to run calls. One to open someone's car and another to open a building to the owners to check on their animals. He didn't have any problems on the roads other then the "Looky Lous" out checking the roads and driving 10 mph. STAY HOME IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO DRIVE IN BAD WEATHER!!!

I am headed back to my chair by the wood stove. Take care.
