Darn Tough

I love wool socks. But, I wear holes in them.

Very quickly.

Lucky for me, Darn Tough stands behind their product.

And they live up to their lifetime guarantee. 

Hooray for a company with integrity!
It's wonderful to buy American.

This is my new pair of socks. 

The socks were sent to me as a replacement 

for the holy hole-y socks I sent to them.

How's that for customer service?!

Thank you, Darn Tough!

April Showers Bring...

Saturday afternoon was just beautiful. I went out to weed, and transplant a few perennials, and was hijacked by a dwarf iris. My only purple iris (at least for now... stay tuned for an iris post later this spring!) was blooming. 

It was lovely. 

I took a few pictures of it, and Mr. Dreamy came out to take a few more pictures. I took pictures of a few tulips and daffodils. 

They were all lovely. 

I decided that I wanted to draw the iris, since that is one of the flowers that we drew in a recent online art class I've been taking. I've drawn iris from pictures, but never "in person". So, I gathered my paper and pencil and plopped myself down on the edge of the garden and began to sketch. Mr. Dreamy came out with my bag of colored pencils. I colored. 

It was a lovely afternoon.

Yup, the weeds will just have to wait!

Not Dreaming

I wish I was dreaming right now. 

I wish the horrendous head cold that I seem to have acquired... 

was only a figment of my imagination.

But no. 

I am stuffed up. 

I am dripping. 

I am hacking. 

My teeth hurt. My eyes ache. I can't breathe.

I am miserable. 

I am anxious to have some energy.

I don't particularly care for air travel:

Being cooped up with strangers....

And germs.

I've flown three times this year.

I have come away with souvenir colds on two of those occasions.

Ugh!

Yuck!

Next time I'm gonna wear a face mask.

I don't care how silly I look.

Better yet....

I'll be the lady in the bubble!

Maybe they'll even give me priority seating.

Nah....

Heck... they wouldn't even give us peanuts!
