Here already?
How do Fridays do that, get here faster
than the other six days?
Lousy winter weather yesterday of rain to snow as in ice, made me not want to even look outside. I do not drive in wintery mix weather. Sadly, I expect this season will have too many fickle days like that.
There is nothing major going on art wise in my life at the moment. Clearing out the easel area and desk isn’t finished yet. Same old, same old. On that note. My life is sounding like a broken record.
During my continued decluttering and moving things around, I have decided on some simple changes:
- Have sit down at the table meals.
- Don’t put birdseed out everyday because they don’t eat it all anyway.
- Stop saving in-case-I-go-hiking boots
- Stop keeping cardboard boxes because they’re small and cute
Have a Simple Change Weekend!
Call an old friend
Bake an eggnog pie*
Count the interior corners of your home
Draw a large barn
Listen to a symphony
Take a walk with love ones
Make something with branches
* There’s a recipe in the Dec 2025-Jan 2026 edition of “Country Living”
It does seem that the end of the week arrives fast, but then every day can be a Friday or any other name, at least for myself. This week, I did call an old friend and will take a walk. The eggnog pie sounds interesting as I am already missing it on store shelves.
ReplyDeleteBeatrice,
DeleteWalking in winter spruces one up mentally. Good you can get out to walk.
Eggnog disappeared fast in December at the local stores. It made no sense during the holiday season to not keep it stocked. Desperate, I even tried pumpkin eggnog. I hooe it diedn’t return next year.

my birds devour the seed, especially during the cold months. i like your simple changes, i have a good idea for a project with sticks!! last week i connected with an old friends. sometimes, we do have to think about changes and make good, very positive choices!!
ReplyDeleteDebbie,
DeleteCold here today, birds have been busy out there all day.
Making signage using sticks/twigs is fun. They tend to dry too much sometimes and come loose.

The RC made his own eggnog pie using the old Impossible Pie recipe and replacing the milk with eggnog and increasing the spice a little bit. It's yummy!!
ReplyDeleteMaryanne,
DeleteThat’s interesting. I guess a custard pie recipe could work using eggnog instead of milk.
