Hey everybody.......whatcha been up to? Not a lot of nothing going on in my little world.
My son came for Christmas and we had a nice time together.
Louisiana is getting our first cold snap in the next few days.
We have had frost on the ground several times. The only plant is still thriving is my Caster Bean bushes. Everything else died from the frost.
I think Monday night it is suppose to get down in the low 20's which is very rare for my area.
Two days we had 80 percent of rain and it poured down, so that rain sure has got the ground good and soaked.
To change the subject about weather......... After my dad died in 2004 I laid down my crochet and over the years I've forgotten how to do all the stitches............ so I got on YouTube and found a nice video a lady made teaching how to do the Single Stitch. She did a really good job on the video teaching the Stitch very slow.........so I learned how to do it yesterday.
I am working on a small dish rag made out of cotton yarn.
This is just something I love to do during the winter months.
Not too much activity at my place right now.
I hope everyone is doing okay.

Anna, nothing much has been going on here either. The weather has been mostly keeping me indoors. Past few days we've had high winds & lotsa snow. About 10".
Nice that you've once again taken up a hobby that you like.
Doing good here & hope you are as well.

Anna stated - "To change the subject about weather......... After my dad died in 2004 I laid down my crochet and over the years I've forgotten how to do all the stitches............"
For a moment I thought you were going to ask if someone could "help" with the stitches. I thought that was the time for me to "bail out" or ask my wife to see if she could help. HA HA
Hope things worked out OK.

No secret here, decades ago I was learning to do & practicing needlepoint. I found it relaxing & enjoyable.
And when I was a young boy at home & my 4 sisters were learning to sew I jumped right in & learned how to do that with clothing repairs.
