Snow Sieve

February 2, 2011 - By ginny

Snow forced through screen, also drifting about halfway up window (it’s piling up on the roof over the porch – all drifted). The windward sides of the roof is bare, the leeward side is where the finest snow is piling up like flour from a gigantic sifter.

If I wanted to taste your perfume, I would lick your neck. #fb # This will be remembered as the year the Bachmann/Palin Crazy Train goes into overdrive, with Angle/O'Donnell Crazy Caboose. # RT @Syfy "…a Firefly series without half of the lead actors? (Actually, Adam is on Chuck too…so that make 4). Or w/out Joss?" No. # Bachmann must have been watching the HypnotoadPrompter http://r33b.net/ # .@KeithOlbermann And all this time I thought #FOK meant Fully Off Kilter. Happy Birthday, young man. # RT @daveweigel "Sen. Jerry Moran (R-KS), whom Palin opposed in the primary, also at Tea Party…

Insurance season is almost over, thank Dog

Avoid health sharing plans, they're not that great a deal. A friend had one while getting some pretty serious treatment, and he struggled to get the care he needed.

Charm Patch Quilt: On Point

From Sew Can She - this looks like a great way to use up charm squares and scraps that can be at least 4 1/2-5 inches square. The contrast fabric and on-point arrangement add good visual interest without being too busy.

Tea Towel Hems

Bought some tea towels for gifts, looking for tutorials for adding colorful hanging cuffs after hemming.

I lean toward Method 1, mitred corners. Will decide once the towels arrive in case the selvage edges are good quality.

Sorry About The Mess: Trump Wrecking World Economy

Post: He’s nuts if he thinks manufacturers will move to the US; they like paying rock bottom non-union wages and they’ll pass the higher costs to American consumers. Lose-lose! What can possibly go wrong?

Since he lives in his own bubble universe, I’m wondering how long his big donors, the few relatively sane conservatives in Congress, and his “IKEA cabinet” will hold out until the murmurs behind the scenes become screaming fights in the Oval Office.

Spine of steel? Nope. Skull of rock.

Global economy rocked again as rates on imports to the US from dozens of trading partners rose further, with China hit by 104% tariffs

Now Listening: Joni Mitchell | Black Crow

Text:

”Black Crow - There's a crow flying Black and ragged Tree to tree He's black as the highway that's leading me Now he's diving down To pick up on something shiny I feel like that black crow Flying In a blue sky I took the ferry to the highway Then I drove to a pontoon plane I took a plane to a taxi And a taxi to a train I've been traveling so long How'm I ever gonna know my home When I see it again I'm like a black crow flying In a blue blue sky In search of love and music My whole life has been Illumination Corruption And diving diving diving diving Diving down to pick up on every shiny thing Just like that black crow flying In a blue sky I looked at the morning After being up all night I looked at my haggard face in the bathroom light I looked out the window And I I saw that ragged soul take flight I saw a back crow flying In a blue sky Oh I'm like a black crow flying In a blue sky”
