MOD FLYING GEESE Kitchen Towel

This kitchen towel is also designed with a textured insert at the hemline – but this insert is not so stiff, as yesterday’s design was; today’s insert is a more fluid contrast.

I designed this towel with a flying geese motif. My home is located in the midst of a duck and geese migration field, so the quacking, honking, and wing flapping is directly overhead three fourths of the year … I like it 😊

NO BUDGING, VALENTINE’S DAY 2021

Right now, life is sweet 😉

I’ve been sticking to my Blog to avoid FB’s biased political nonsense and obamanite infatuations; but I am glad I checked FB Pages this morning – I am glad to know that friends and family are safe despite the treacherous situations and circumstances all around us.

The grandkids’ have experienced a severe ice storm in their region; the ice damaged several trees, and knocked a few down – 1 right outside their home; and a branch took out a gutter pipe (the kids are safe, thank You, Yeshua):

ICE STORM AT THE KIDS' PLACE

So far, my region has escaped the ice storm some friends and family members have had to deal with this week.

As noted in previous Blog posts, I did, however, have icy snow dumped on my property: icy snow, which is heavy and complicated. But, so far, nothing has been damaged …

The garden boxes, out back, that Bob built for me; are 12” high (smaller ones) & 18” high (larger ones). This is my back yard this morning.

Back yard snow depth.

The snow drifts make the snow look deeper than it is – it’s actually only 7” deep across the back yard.

The protected areas (carport & leeward side of house) have a snow level depth of 7½ inches; each side: deeper because the wind does not displace it; much.

Needless to say, I will not be budging until the snow melts … I have a well-stocked freezer, and pantry, so I can literally sit on my cushy duff 😉 and watch the snow-inspired activity outside my windows 😊

Valentine’s Day has historically been attributed to a catholic monk, but the first true Valentine’s Day actually was established on Calvary Hill.

I am so glad Elohim loves me: He gave me 2 wonderful loving husbands, as well: Yeshua & Bob. I am abundantly blessed 😊

Blowing kisses to my husbands, Yeshua & Bob; and to my older sister, Iris, this morning …

My Cupid Name is “Starry-eyed Hot-stuff”; I can live with that 😉
