Monotony in the greenhouse.... racks upon racks of pots to fill with hundreds upon hundreds of seedlings. The process is tedious because we move the pots on and off the carts to add in time release fertilizer then again to plant the seedlings...there has to be a better process I think 😬🤨 There's some fascinating machinery in this outfit, maybe someday I'll learn how to use it all.

Excitement on the prairie can be as simple as starting work at a local greenhouse (cause I love growing things), to ice crystals Jack Frost left on windows, to family members spotting a pack of 5-6 coyotes right behind the barn eyeing the livestock! It's still single digits at times but spring IS coming just around the corner! 😜

Busy 24 hours... Gallons of veggies chopped, muffaletta sandwiches assembled, etoufee, jambalaya, red beans and rice, gumbo, king cake, cheesecake, bourbon bread pudding, all fresh from scratch...and lots of alcohol for our happy customers! Prairie style Mardi Gras 😁😜😋 As usual...I didn't take near enough pics. 😒

Do anything special for Valentine's day? I spent the day at work prepping a feast for nearly a dozen lucky couples. Sometimes it's not what you get, but what you give that makes a day special! 😋💞

It's been a bit since I came across something this unique, what are your thoughts about it? The lamp lady...a manikin with outfits that is actually a lamp! Interesting, maybe slightly creepy? Definitely creative! 😜

Experimenting for Valentine's, a sweet treat became a family affair...lemon curd, caramel and raspberry layered chocolate covered cheesecake bites. Then watch me turn a cloth napkin into a rose, and see one of the appetizers! Lots of prep happening for next Tuesday.
So far I've only had one nightmare while planning this special occasion dinner for the last few weeks...I dreamed that day of, we had mountains of dishes to wash and tables to move then right about an hour before serving time, I realized none of the food was prepared! 🤪🤦

Just paying bills, hanging out with the family, and getting ready for work today. I like crunching numbers like this! Always good to see bills getting smaller 😜 that IS a lot of water but there are 10+ people here daily AND all the livestock: a half dozen dairy goats, a calf, a dozen icelandic sheep, around 25 chickens, half a dozen rabbits, peacocks, multiple dogs and cats. Not bad at all...

Some interesting finds from Minnesota... The cherub hurricane lamp is apparently pretty rare. The picture frame is hand carved from Mexico and has a golden bronze shimmer to the paint.

Banana blueberry pancakes for breakfast! 😋 We tried the strainer trick and it worked quite well for making cold butter spreadable.

Per suggestion of my chiropractor...I have a new toy...I'm not exactly sure what to do with it yet but it seems to work as a photo prop, albeit a dangerous one imo! I think this is going to cause more back issues 😂🤦
And yes, the Christmas tree is still up! 😜

Sad news...jk!!! Thanks to this incredible storm system I've enjoyed watching move up across the central plains and prairies... I believe I'll be posting MORE SNOW PICS this week 😂🤦😂😂 is it just me, or does it kinda look like a giant flying dragon... especially that last one!?

Rescheduled my appointment to beat the snow, wanna get ready with me? An oatmeal clay mask from a favorite company... feels, and looks, terrible when it dries! 😬😅 The cream afterwards makes up for it...so silky smooth and buttery ... 😊 fishtail braid, hoops, a velvet and pearl choker, and... oops, I should have done some lipstick 💄 too... Darn it!

Harsh winter weather will find the weak ones...but I'm attempting to find the positive in an expensive loss by learning a new skill... tanning a sheep skin naturally, the more traditional way without the harsh chemicals.

Snowed in no more!! Tickled to see some glorious sunshine and get back to work, and so thankful for good neighbors who have the equipment to deal with this fluff!

How is it a new year already!?!! I feel like the year and the holidays kinda just slipped by without me really realizing it...
Starting the new year Monday off in PJ's with a workout. A snow storm is moving across the prairies threatening several inches of fluffy whiteness and I've got a chiro appointment later in the week. Work dinner has been rescheduled because of the storm...
I'm feeling like a lazy day reading books...that I should have finished last year...but looking around my room has me thinking a deep clean and makeover is top priority... 😬
Happy New Year ladies and gents!
