Spending Money

We went out and I spent some more of my Christmas money. I bought some multi colored (I think it used to be called variegated) yarn to make a sweater. The sweater will be plain, just ribbing at the bottom and then stockinette stitch on the body. The yarn will create the pattern. There were several choices and I had a hard time making up my mind. But the one I choose did seem to jump out at me so to speak. It's called Earth and Sky and it's different shades of brown and blue. I think it'll be gorgeous.

There's a strong wind out of the South today. For a while there it looked like it might rain but that's all gone now. The temp is in the lower 60's and tomorrow it's supposed to get into the 70's. After that we have a chance of some winter weather. The northern part of the state usually gets the snow and ice. We're lucky if we get even a little moisture. Oh well.

I didn't make turkey fajitas, I made a stir fry with brown rice instead. Good stuff. I have one venison roast left. I think I'll put it in the crock pot and then make fajitas out of it. We've been eating out a lot lately and believe it or not I'm actually getting tired of it. Time to cook again. The health food store has buffalo, I'd like to try some of that, maybe the ground (hamburger) variety.

DH loves fruitcake but I hate it. But, my new cookbook has a recipe that looks pretty good. I might just try it. Of course it means going to Walmart to get the ingredients. I should have written down what I need earlier and I could have gotten it when I was there to get my yarn. I think I'd like to make some fudge too. I haven't made fudge in years.

Photo of the day, weird looking tree roots that we saw at Quartz Mt State Park. It is in very sandy soil and it looks like water has washed a lot of soil away from the roots. The tree was still alive though.



Cease striving and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.
