Cee Cee is one year old today...the baby we have never held is now starting to walk. She had a birthday party last weekend. We went along via facetime.

She had a unicorn cake, she is wearing a unicorn headband and a shirt that says one on it and a pink tutu.
What a doll! Happy Birthday Baby! This is your special day!
The snow, ice and water are gone from the snowstick ...and no one guessed March 9th. The 60 degree weather we had with a wind really melted snow.

We have a bit of nice weather...but it will not last it is Minnesota after all.
I went looking for Spring.
Water in the corner ditch.
My other baby brothers grands writing with sticks in the sand.
The new neighbor puppy ...wearing a spring coat of dead grass.
This is Titus a Border Collie/Great Pyrenees cross. He is very friendly, has a soft mouth and seems real gentle. He keeps Putz and Snoopy on their toes. I had a good visit with Steve and Jo outside in the sunshine while watching the dogs play.
I am done with Spring Cleaning the bathroom...not sure what I will tackle next...decisions...decisions.
There is still snow, water and ice at the snowstick.

Lots of melting went on over the weekend.
I took a photo in the late afternoon Sunday. It was 54 F and my other baby brother and she who sees robins first came over for a visit on the patio.
Far Guy fixed on his new/old car. I am not sure what his project was today...since I am not very mechanical it is a mystery to me.
I got started on Spring Cleaning the bathroom drawers...they are all done one more day in the bathroom and it will be done too! Far Guy helped with his drawer...surprising how much room you have when it is all straightened up and clean. For the record...he is messy with his shaving cream and I am messy with my hair bands and toothpaste. I threw a bunch of make up away...I don't wear it anyway.
I packaged up lots of odds and ends, trial sizes, and some shampoo that is too fragrant to use...it is all in a bag ready to pass off to one of our grands who once told me " I hate spending money on shampoo, I would rather spend it on something else!"

We have had a few warm days! Sadly June the snowbank is almost gone in March. We have so much less snow this year...but winter isn't over yet. March can be a fickle month and so can old man winter. We have some mud in the yard and the puddles of water freeze every night making a bit of a skating rink.
There are still about five inches of snow at the snowstick.
Yesterday I had a busy day. The Living Room is completely Spring cleaned...yeah me! I was at loose ends and didn't know which direction to go to next so I headed to the kitchen to make Far Guy's favorite dip.( Italian Sausage, Hormel Chili with no beans, Philly Cream Cheese, Velveeta Cheese and Jalapeno Peppers. ) Then my other baby brother and she who sees robins first came by to sit in the sunshine out on the patio. After that I worked on my mosaic crochet project and had a half hour nap...getting up just in time to help Far Guy cook supper...pulled pork quesadillas....the dip is perfect to go along with this meal. It also freezes well.
My Covid Arm is finally better! I still have a sore spot but the temperature is gone along with the red spot! Now it will have time to get all better before the next shot in 10 days.

We better have a snow stick contest!
Right now there is about 7 inches of snow at the snowstick. I took this photo a few days ago before I sent my big girl camera away.
A good rain and we could have bare ground! I best get busy on a few woodcarvings!
I am still working in the grey yarn and wasp nests...I am determined to use up all that grey yarn! Very little progress has been made on the mosaic scarf or my shawl. Yarn was ordered for a new project...I couldn't help myself. In fact Far Guy helped me pick out the colors.
I am working on some birthday cards as my Mom said her stash was getting low.
Please leave me a comment with your guess of what day the snowstick will be free of snow, ice and water this year. Guesses will appear here and the guessing will end on Monday night March 1st! Then we will wait for the snow to disappear!
