You know what I found out...48 degrees in the winter with snow melting doesn't feel like 48 in the summer.  It was so damp yesterday that we had a fire going in the wood stove!  

And my joints are basically screaming at me that they do not appreciate this damp weather!

It's above freezing again this morning...35 degrees but it still feels cold.

How's the weather where you are?  Cold and wet? Or warm and dry?  I imagine that I will be complaining about the heat in summer...so don't pay me any  attention as I complain about the cold, damp weather!

Tomorrow is tax day which means getting up and leaving very, very early in the morning for the tax accountant who is located in Allentown, Pennsylvania.  And as it's an all day affair I will probably not be posting anything on my blog.  But I will take pictures from the Allentown's Farmer's Market which is indoors and fantastic!

I did get one page done for the 'new' slow making journal.  Check out these pictures.  First the front cover...

Next, inside pockets...

The card on the right side has the instructions on the back and the envelope on the left side has the supplies for the project as well as two examples...


My plan is to complete another page today.  I had hoped to finish this sample this month.  There's still time, but I do have other commitments.

How's your reading challenge going?  Are you finding out that you enjoy spending some down time reading?  I hope so because it is an activity that you can enjoy all life long.

One of my friends keeps track of all the books she reads.  That way, if a book is especially good, she knows that it is worth a second read.  As I read my books electronically, I can keep track of which books I purchase but not which books I read from the library.  It might be a good idea to do so...

Have a wonderful day...

Talk with you tomorrow...
