Moving is in full swing

Except for the short break I took to cross something off of my Wisconsin bucket list. 

That's right, I had never made a snowman in Wisconsin. Actually, I don't think I had ever made one. In all my time in Wisconsin, snow was something to look at or complain about (including the lack of it last year).

I think my snowman turned out pretty decent. I don't have carrots or charcoal for the face of a traditional snowman, but I think you get the point. After snapping a few shots of my snowman styling in my hat and scarf, I made a few snow angels before heading back in to pack. It's a good thing that most everyone was still at work, because I'm sure I looked a little ridiculous - a grown adult without any kids around making a snowman and snow angels with a big grin on her face.

Then back inside for some more packing. I've made good progress on my craft supplies. That should be almost finished, once I get some of it to new homes. If you're in Madison and want some free craft supplies, let me know! I don't want to move all of this. I'm about half way through with the clothes, which if you have ever seen my closet, you will know is good progress. I've even got a few bags of clothes and things destined for Goodwill.

Tomorrow will bring more of the same as the past couple of days -- packing, cleaning and general moving errands. I'm not sure if I'm going to get any play time for making snowmen, so I may not have much to write about for a bit.

Way back in Texas

I've escaped the pull of the black hole! So, I'm circling back around to all of the things that I've wanted to share with you over the past few weeks. Above is a quick photo story of my trip to Texas. I took pictures on my iPhone of many of the things I did over the weekend. Some events aren't fully represented because, well, I was an active participant.

I'm not going to give you a play by play of the photos, but I will tell you that the calf at the far left is named Buddy, that's my aunt and uncle in the mural next to Buddy and the pies in the picture are rhubarb and squash.

This was a nice trip to Texas, covering many of my favorite things. I enjoyed being back down there and seeing family and friends. It definitely recharged my Texas batteries, and seeing these pictures has topped off that charge. I might even wear my cowboy boots to the picnic later today.

Expect more posts over things that I've done in the past two weeks. Then, I guess I'll have to tackle new projects.
