Silk Tie Easter Eggs

This has become a yearly tradition here. After finding this idea from Martha Stewart, I gave it a try and have been doing it ever since.

I hunt thrift shops every year for silk ties, which I usually find for around 75 cents each, and pillowcases, which I can also get for next to nothing.

Simple and pretty!

Since My Last Post...

We finished out weather week with rain in a jar and a cloud in a bottle...




T decided to cut his own hair (again)...



We discovered that T makes an excellent cover for leaf piles on a windy day...



We welcomed spring by birdwatching and collecting agates down by the river...



...And we've been doing an assortment of spring-related activities, but all of these pictures were among the over-exposed, courtesy of my failing camera. I'm hoping to get some better pictures this week (fingers crossed).

Blogger Problems

It's been ages since I was able to log on here! As it always goes, whenever we are shortest on extra cash, everything decides to stop working properly. In the past two weeks, my blowdryer has died, our DVD player is on its last leg, my camera has decided to only take one or two (often overexposed) pictures per set of AA batteries, and my computer has stopped allowing me to visit half a dozen or so websites, including Blogger. I've run every virus/spyware program out there, cleared cookies, you name it, I've done it. It was completely unsuccessful though, until this morning, when all of a sudden, my websites started working again. I don't know what caused it, but I'm hoping it lasts!

In the meantime, I'll be trying to catch up on the wonderful posts from all of you recently and posting a few pictures from things we've done recently.

It's good to be back here. I didn't realize how addicted I'd become to blogging until I couldn't access this site!
