Mt. Rainier and Lenticular Clouds - Dec. 2008 copyright: JMM

March 17, 2017

Well apparently winter decided to make a March appearance this year.  I was hoping we were home free but alas, putting away the winter boots bit me in the ass.

How cute is Sagan sleeping under his stuffed puppy?


Here he is looking very sorry for getting into the trash and eating half a boneless pork roast and some mashed potatoes, plus coffee grounds all over the place including a coffee ground footprint on the rug.

I put him in the craft for about 20 minutes so I could clean up and he didn't make a peep, then spent the rest of the day not looking at me.  The funny thing is, I didn't even yell at him when I saw the mess.  Just said, 'Sagan!  Bad boy!'

Gnomey's had about enough of this.

The flamingoes have just given up.

Did everyone get out to see the pretty full moon?

I didn't make these....I got them in Salem.  They looked pretty in the late afternoon sun.  Man alive my windows need washing....

Most of the eastern seaboard got killed with a huge snowstorm on the 14th.  It turned to rain around here so we actually ended the storm with far less snow than at the beginning.  It was a nice, cozy day, listening to the wind and driving rain.  So I worked on my zenbroidery with some new rainbow floss I just got and just LOVE.  Also added a Grateful Dead themed design in the heart.

Finally got a long overdue day to myself where I didn't have to leave the house at all, so I broke out the beads and started filling in the top.  I was going to wait till the end but I just couldn't stop myself.

The sequins and beads really make it pop.


As of March 16.

Seriously hard putting this one down.

  2. Hey JoJo,

    Love the photos. Penny and I think Sagan is adorable. It's been sunny and hot in England. In other fake news...

    A pleasant weekend to you, my friend.

  5. We've been getting more snow, not a lot but continuous light stuff. Supposed to snow the next two days. Poor Sagan, if you put a pork roast in the trash, of course it's going to attract him. How come you were throwing away so much pork anyway?

    1. Well my mom had cooked it, didn't like and gave it to me. I had a couple pieces and it was OK...but Russell didn't want any and I knew I wasn't gonna eat anymore either so I tossed it. But i thought it was under a sufficient amount of trash. Apparently not.

  6. JoJo your embroidery work looks amazing. It's a very complicated piece, but I suppose all Zen-art is, guess it is supposed to encourage relaxation and mind calming . . .perhaps even Transcendental Meditation.

    Aw, I feel sorry for poor Gnomey, but he seems to be keeping up a happy front regardless of the situation, I know I would not look nearly so happy. :D
