We finally had a chance to get out onto the highway last Sunday for the first time in 10 days. It's not that we NEEDED to go to the grocery store... but you have to replace what you consumed at some point. So, when it got up to 30 degrees and the sun was shining we decided to make a trip to the grocery store (14 miles round trip).
What kind of things did we need? Milk, half & half, dog and cat food, frozen burritos, potatoes, a beef roast, coke (for my hubby...), flour, juice, ice cream. What we call "consumables". Could we have gone another week without going to the store? Sure. Do I like putting canned milk in my coffee? Not really. I could. But I'd rather have half & half. Sure, I'm spoiled. I admit it.
We're in the process of forming a Co-op group, to place an order for dried fruits, grains and such from Country Life Natural Foods. Country Life Natural Foods If you're reading this and live in our local area, let me know if you want to be involved.
I finally got a chance to take Cricket for a walk yesterday. We walked down to the bottom of the hollow, on the north end of the property. She really loves her long walks.
It was exactly 40F when we left the house at 4:15 PM. We made it to the stream and back before sunset. By the time we got back to the house, it was 35F. The low last night was 34, the first night above freezing since 1/31. That is really odd for Arkansas. And now, it's supposed to warm up to 60 by Monday. Very odd!
This morning, it's 36F and we're having drizzle. I won't be going outside to play in the woods this morning!
I've been crocheting an afghan for my stepdaughter's partner. It's going well. I've got 3 more blocks to crochet. Then I get to sew all the pieces together. Fun! I've been posting my progress on Ravelry, if you're interested... Circle Dance afghan crochet-along
