Poor ole Stella.

This is what happens when the grand child takes the dog hostage. She is dressed in a very old Halloween witch costume and had every nail polished. And some perfume for good measure. Because she's a farm dog. And she stinks. But she sure looks good right?

Almost...

 but not quite ready yet.

I saw a friend had posted some daffodils her kids had just picked for her and she's just up the road. So I walked out back to the patch  back there and they are almost ready to bloom. I hope the 14 degrees tonight doesn't hurt them.

I'll be covering the bee hive up tonight. And then on Saturday night, another below 20's night. I am ready for this week to be over!

Some crocheting going on here.

I was bored yesterday so got on you tube and looked up granny squares.  Found a really good video, in 4 parts, teaching how to make these pretty sunburst squares. I love them! And fairly easy to make. But will take a lot of yarn.

I have a big bag full of cotton yarn so I am using that. I  love working with cotton. I'll see how many I can make. I have a huge cone of the cream color for the border.

And also made some flowers. I love you tube! So much good info there. The big ones are wagon wheel flowers, but I only did the first row of petals. I could not understand the rest to make the back petals.  The smaller one is really easy. I made a scarf with a hoodie and it needs some embellishments so made these for it.

I am really liking the free well water. We might just use it til late spring. It's not a deep well so will run out in summer really fast. My husband's good friend said he and his son and a few others can come do the water line and save about $1000. So we will just wait. I hope the city water police don't catch on.
