T Stands for Tuesday and More This & That

A new month is upon us and another T Stands for Tuesday is upon us as well.  
     This is where we share a drink related post with friends. You are most welcome to join us. Find the link to our hostess Bleubeard and Elizabeth in my right hand column.

   Wow April 1st brought us falling temps down to the mid twenties last night and early Monday morning. Yesterday afternoon we had hard rain followed by about 10 to 15 minutes of falling hail-in the photos that is not snow but ice. This is a first for me that kind of accumulation of hail on the ground. The trees and things were getting iced over while I was feeding the wildlife.

The geese pair is now coming up for the corn and sunflower seeds. I throw them corn on the side of the house here The above pond is on the left of the geese. That is Sir John standing tall and guarding Izzy while she eats first.

As you can see if the "yard" is not iced over then it is so saturated with water-with much more to come.

Last week Tuesday when I got my mail-surprise what I was waiting for arrived.  
   When I do the Virtual Running walks we can sign up for a small basic fee or we can also order what ever swag we want. I don't know what swag means but that is what they call it lol  
    For the Yellowstone race and the Earth Day race I also order the medal which is always very nice. One can also order all sorts of t shirts and a bib to pin on to your shirt-so you can really feel like you are in the race.   I decided after I registered to buy the bib as it would be perfect for my fabric journal. I ordered late but they still printed one out for me.
   Here are a few photos of the layout for my March pages. Nothing is sewn down yet, and I also have a couple more dates I want to put in.  I covered up my name and address on the bib.
   I am quite happy with my wool walking person and I added the hat and hair pulled back-which is me all the way. haha

 This past week has been put on hold since I needed to start organizing and cleaning house. Hubs has a friend coming in tomorrow to potentially stay a week. The weather is not cooperating at all for what they had planned, and Hubs is not feeling real well either. So I am not sure what they will be doing as it is too cold to be outdoors for him now. 
    I still can't get over how cold it is here for April. The weather man said last night we were in the 80's this time last year. 
     The rain is to continue for the next 10 days it looks like. I had to move all my bottles with seeds under the over hang to keep them warmer and not get saturated with all this rain.

I am sharing another new wine for me this week. I found it at Aldi, this one comes from Spain It is a dry red-but very mellow. I love this one and may pick up another bottle if they still have some. This one does not pucker up your mouth like some very dry reds will.

Last night I decided to make us up a big pan of popcorn. We even splurged with melted butter and sea salt.
   This popcorn is my favorite now, small kernels, very tender, no hulls. Found it on Amazon. I was born a Hoosier in Indiana and I must say they grow the best popcorn.

When I went out to feed the wildlife today, brrrr still very cold out there, the ice is melting off the trees and the roof. The temperatures are just above freezing.  Still allot of patches of ice around.  I need to go to town early tomorrow so hoping we are not below freezing again.
   I put some citrus quarters out in case the Baltimore Orioles should stop by on their way north.

Happy T Stands for Tuesday
Thank you so much for stopping by
