Noise factor -
I grew up in a house with the tv on all the time. I can remember the Today Show with "Dave" Garroway!!!
A good deal of time the tv is on in my house also. But for me there is a reason to have something on in the background....I have a lot of ringing in my ears. I don't focus as much on the ringing when there is other noise to distract me. Unfortunately, I've noticed that with the tv on, I do have a harder time concentrating on the task at hand.
Lately, I have been listening to nature sounds (birds, rivers bubbling, ocean waves, thunder storms, etc.). It took me by surprise, but I realized that listening to nature sounds works better for me than even listening to music. Who knew???
So if you hear thunder and rain on a perfectly sunny cloudless day...maybe someone else is listening to nature sounds...of course, if you get wet, you may want to head for shelter!!!!
I have my route planned for tomorrow....four quilt shops and another favorite restaurant. This time we are heading north to Bath and beyond...that's Bath, Maine. Should be fun! Think I can get by with photos instead of spending money...me neither!!! But I will give it the old college try. No guarantees!!! One way or another, I will post pictures....either of things I would like to purchase...or things I purchased...or both!!!!
I'm working hard on the 'basket' projects for May. I want to have them all up and ready before the first day of May so I can start working on June's theme. I actually haven't settled on a theme for June but I am leaning towards 'butterflies'. I can think of a lot of projects. I also love the idea of 'fireworks' for July but finding projects may be a bit more difficult.
Do you like to read? I love to read, but so many times when I read a mystery I have a hard time putting the book down...really...I will read all night long if it's a good book. So, I really haven't been reading much lately, especially fiction.
But when I saw the latest book in the "Tea Shop Mystery Series" ("The Teaberry Strangler" by Laura Childs), I just had to read it...and I did...today!!! See what I mean, I could not put it down. And there in lies the problem...I love reading good mysteries...but I don't seem to have the willpower to stop reading and do other things. I wonder of other people have the same problem?
Enough ramblings...
Thanks for stopping by this evening. Have a great day tomorrow...
