I can’t believe it’s already March! Even with an extra day, February just flew by. Guess it’s time to post my final figures for the month. As of the last update on February 12th, I had spent $204.19. Here is what I bought for the rest of the month: February 15 Azure Standard Co-op Order:…
Domestic Diva – Monday Tasks and Stormy Weather
Do you have a housekeeping schedule? I used to but in the past few years it’s become more of a general routine – a very, very loose routine – than a schedule. As I’ve written here before, I’d like to develop a new routine/schedule but it hasn’t happened yet. I do, however, have a short…
A Day of Winter in Oklahoma
I was thinking we might just skip winter here in Oklahoma this year. After last winter I was perfectly happy with that possibility. However, Ol’ Man Winter dropped in for a visit last night and left us with a dusting of snow. Fortunately we didn’t get the usual freezing rain/sleet/ice first. Just some nice, fluffy…
Spring has sprung…
Yesterday was the first day of Spring and boy, oh boy! does that make me do a happy dance. I took my camera outside this morning and captured a few glimpses of Spring especially for my readers who are still mired in last vestiges of winter. I hope these pictures bring a smile to your…

This is why I stayed home today: Doesn’t look like much to my readers in Northern climes but it was doggone cold for this California girl. Okay, so I’ve lived in Oklahoma 30 years but I swear my cold tolerance level is still set for Southern California. In lieu of nice weather, at least we…
Springtime in Oklahoma
*Update: Sadly, there are now reports of four fatalities and perhaps 80 injuries from the storm. Growing up in the desert of Southern California meant rarely thinking about the weather. In fact, if someone had mentioned the concept of a 24 hour a day weather channel, I would have thought they were nuts. But that…
Springtime on Apple Tree Farm
Flowering dogwood tree Wisteria Spring chickens…and a rooster. And what is becoming a Spring ritual here on Apple Tree Farm, new kittens. They were a little early, though. The past two years we’ve had a litter born on Earth Day, or what we now call “Birth Day”. I suspect that the second cat in this…
Snow is a four-letter word…
I make no bones about the fact that I heartily dislike winter. I’m a summer girl and I’m tired of being cold. I don’t like having to wear a lot of clothes and I especially dislike socks. This has been one heck of a winter in Oklahoma as we’ve had more snow than I’ve ever…
