Well, is the recipe for the instant pot custard posted somewhere? I didn't see it. And it sounds like something I'd like to try!

Today was a cold one here! It started out in the mid to low 30s and only made it into the mid 40s. I'm still looking for Spring. The birdies are tweeting and chirping so they must have made it back and my bird feeder empties itself out every day now! So it must be around here somewhere. Why won't it show it's face!

I'm on the way to the haystack! I wish you all a peaceful nights sleep and a great day tomorrow. It's yours! Do whatever you please...or do nothing! Make up your mind!

Good morning..

Yup winter again.....we have 2 inches of new snow on the ground with more joining it.

Off to the city for a quick trip then home to work about....maybe.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

MarsGal · March 24, 2025, 08:40:11 AM

Fair warning everyone! I put my snow shovel away yesterday. Guaranteed to make another shovelable event soon.

Amy · March 24, 2025, 09:34:46 AM

We did a trip around the block so to speak and came home. Roads are a mess and tomorrow may be a better day to travel.

MG, we discussed putting away the tools for snow removal but glad I didn't. Snow tires are thankfully still on until April.

Birds are hungry and so far have been fed twice....not sure what the poor robins are eating.

Good Morning AMY and anyone else who shows up. We're having temps in the 40s and 50s these days but the sun is hiding behind the clouds. Cooper Doggie and I just came back from our second walk of the day and I'm ready for a "sit-down"! So here I am!

I have a mini pizza for my lunch today and leftovers from yesterday's supper for today's supper

I wish you all a great day! Make it your own in every way! How do you do that? I'm still trying to figure that out!

Amy · March 24, 2025, 02:20:27 PM

Jane, check your mail...

patricia19 · March 24, 2025, 02:49:53 PM

Good morning, to all who came before and those who will show up later.

phyllis · March 24, 2025, 04:11:39 PM

Jane, click on this for custard recipe and scroll down.

JaneS · March 24, 2025, 08:43:27 PM

Thank you, PHYLLIS! I found it and I'm definitely going to have to try that custard! It has to be better than the stuff I've beem buying!

Today was a really odd day! My leg was giving me some trouble early so I did some sitting around and rubbing lotion on it. I did walk with Cooper but I sure was glad to get back home and I did some limping on the way. It's feeling better now...still has a couple sore spots but not even half as bad as it was. I can't imagine what caused it. I didn't bump it or fall on it anything that I can remember! It must just be an "oldie"!

Now I'm going to hit the hay stack. Morning comes early and I need to be up and meet Cooper Doggie! I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a great day tomorrow! Make the day your own!

Amy · March 25, 2025, 07:06:28 AM

Good morning

Again more snow, not much and it has a crust on it. Jesse sounded like a horse galloping when we ran across the yard.

Another day to stay put and work around home, I don't need to "look" for work as there is always lots to do. Cook,clean,bake and sew.

Fed the robins some cranberries an d now the crows are hollering for their food. Fed them 3 times yeasterday along with the smaller birds that needed food.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

patricia19 · March 25, 2025, 02:49:37 PM

Good morning to Amy and all those who follow. This has been a slow morning with meet and greets running long and morning routines and feeding Farrah and I, sandwiched in between.

No packages due for myself or others, no chore overdo, so I may take this for a couch potato day.

RAMMEL · March 25, 2025, 10:46:06 PM

Getting late, and no one here since mid-day. Goodnight anyone - including ghosts.

Amy · March 26, 2025, 06:12:25 AM

Good morning.

Well that sneak peek at Spring was a tease! Starting off at 21° with snow later on today.

Off to the city doing what should have been done on Mon but bad weather said no!
Just a quick trip in and home then carry on with the day.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

JaneS · March 26, 2025, 07:25:33 AM

Good Morning to AMY and anyone else who shows today! I had a "sheesh" day yesterday. Gardbiuked and peeled some eggs for Frankie. She likes to take them to work with her and have one at break time! Then the rest of the day was just "walk Cooper Doggie" and "sit around trying to decide what to do. I never did decide!

I tuned in to my favorite Perry Mason show at 8 oclock and immediately fell asleep on the sofa. When I woke up, I decided it was time to hit the haystack. So I did! And now it's day break in PA!

AMY, you're right! Winter came back! Where oh where is SPRING!

Today, I'm going out to lunch with a bunch of people that I used to work with at Pennsylvania House Furniture Co. When they left town, we decided that we didn't want to lose our friendship so we get together for lunch once a month and that's today. I really enjoy seeing them all!

I wish you all a great day! Do whatever pleases you most! If that turns out to be nothing, I understand! Go for it!

JaneS · March 26, 2025, 07:27:48 AM

That word "Gardbiunked" should read "hard boiled"! Sorry about that!

patricia19 · March 26, 2025, 01:21:43 PM

CallieOK · March 26, 2025, 01:59:17 PM

Ditto!

Amy · March 26, 2025, 02:16:06 PM

We have been to the city and back,been to town and back,stopped in at the neighbours and now I am NOT going anywhere...I hope!
We did get some snow but nothing to be conncerned about.......until tomorrow when we are to get a good snack of snow!
Now to put my feet up!

BarbStAubrey · March 26, 2025, 03:56:30 PM

Warm and muggy here - like y'all can't muster up any get'em movin' - even reading is fits and starts - fed up with napping - think I'll go look for some mosquito repellent and go sit on the front porch.

JaneS · March 26, 2025, 08:06:43 PM

I'm ready to hit the hay! I don't have to meet Cooper Doggie until a bit before 7 tomorrow morning. Frankie has a later morning tomorrow. However, I've discovered tha I can't sleep in any more! No matter what time I set the alarm for, I wake up at the same time these days! I'll have plenty of time to have my breakfast and get dressed and ready to walk with him!

I had a nice time with my old friends at lunch today! There were 8 of us there and we dalked the whole time we were together! And on the way to and from my friend who picked me up and I talked constantly! It was a good day!

Now I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy day tomorrow! Do whatever suits your fancy tomorrow! But be sure to stop by and tell us what your up to! We need to know!

Amy · March 27, 2025, 07:14:28 AM

Good morning

Jane , I do think Spring took a wrong turn. Starting off at 11°F this morning. No putting away winter clothes yet.

Need to play catch up on work in home and bake. Maybe just maybe finish the quilt!

I am up just hope my att'em catches up..

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

JaneS · March 27, 2025, 08:00:05 AM

Good Morning, AMY and anyone else who shows up today! Cooper and I got back from our walk and he was asking to go out in the yard. It seems my neighbor and their doggie were out in the yard and he needed to say "hello" to his friend! So while he was out there I filled the bird feeder. Now my day is off. What's next? I haven't decided! Your guess is as good as mine!

Have a a great day! Do whatever pleases you most and don't forget to share it with us! We need you!

patricia19 · March 27, 2025, 01:25:21 PM

Good morning, Amy, we're also waiting for spring, although faint signs are beginning to show. Snow is possible Sunday through Monday, however, if so, we're probably having more rain to keep that ice going. 🥴

Nothing on the agenda, today. There are a few construction or deconstruction noises coming from below, which I'm taking to mean a certain problematic tenant has moved on.

Nothing on the agenda today, morning routines, meet and greets, and feeding Farrah, all done. I do need to start coffee, I was on the phone too long and out of the kitchen.

Denver · March 27, 2025, 02:23:27 PM

Good morning.....I have just managed to catch up on posts since before St. Patrick's Day.🤪 All of your posts are delightful and make me smile. I miss being active in this group. Please understand that I have a lot going on and I am not dealing all that well with

We have been going down to sons new home quite a bit to help him with a few projects that require a second hand, and while we are there we are looking at some possibilities of where our next home may be. We have one more month here in Prescott, and the time is winding down rapidly. It is going to be hard to return to Colorado and leave these two little grands, but we accomplished exactly what we wanted to do. Get to know them better and SEE them grow and for them to know us better. It has been wonderful.

I must run....hubby and I are off to get haircuts that we desperately need.

Have a good day EVERYFRIEND❣️

phyllis · March 27, 2025, 03:48:01 PM

It is a beautiful Spring day in North Carolina.
Wish I could share it with all of you.

Nice to see you here, Jenny

MarsGal · March 27, 2025, 03:55:42 PM

Denver, happy to see your catch-up post. Hope to hear from you again when you have time.

Hi, Phyllis. I hope we catch up with your Spring soon. Well, my daffodils are up about five or six inches now, and I see some flower buds peaking up too. I really expected to see them up a little taller and earlier, but then where I am now, they don't get a lot of sun to heat up the ground. At the house, they came up earlly and some were early bloomers. Not here, apparently.

I've been hearing Robins for about a week now. Finally saw one yesterday. and the sparrows are back now too.

JaneS · March 28, 2025, 06:37:44 AM

Good Morning Everyfriend! I'm just waiting for daylight to go for a walk with the Cooper Doggie! So far, he's waiting patiently but he'll tell me when it's light out. Sometimes dogs make me wonder how much smarter than me they really are! The just seem to know what's happening and why!

I'm going to a a concert at Bucknell University with one of daughter Cindy's friends tonight. She seems to have adopted me since her mother passed away and Cindy is far out of state. She called me to say she already had the tickets and did I want to go with her! She's a sweetheart and when they were growing up she lived near us and if she wasn't here, Cindy was at her house! It's nice she remembers the good!

Now I wish you all a pleasant day! Make it your own in every way! And don't forget to stop by and say "HI" to all of us!

Amy · March 28, 2025, 06:42:13 AM

Good morning.
Weather is not going to be nice the next few days. Hope the weathermen are preparing us for the worst and we don't get the freezing rain and possible power outages. Stocked up on milk,eggs and bread and we have everything else in the larder.

Phyllis,would love to see flowers even lilacs blossoming.

MG ,we have the robins here, fed them cranberries and next is blueberries. Nice to see the birds back but sad that there is not a lot for them to eat just yet.
Once the lakes open up the Trumpeter Swans should be making their way north.

Jenny, so good to "see' you! A haircut always makes one feel better. Our friend is letting his hair grow long ,then he will get it cut for a cancer wig.

Patricia, think snow would be better than what they are calling for. Freezing rain leaves you spinning like a button on an outhouse door!!!

Jane, there are times (a lot of em) that my well planned day goes out the window! Getting sidelined is easy and puts me off my schedule of doing things.When a nap pops in I welcome the break!

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

MarsGal · March 28, 2025, 09:54:59 AM

Jane, enjoy the concert. What will it be?

There was a time they offered, and they probably still do, lecture series open to non-students. I forget what the lectures were about that I wanted to go to, but since they were in the evening and I didn't like to drive that far, especially at night and by myself, I never got up there. Nowadays, I can watch university lectures at home at any time. The last major series I watched was about early Roman architecture, including the different periods of wall painting styles. Impressive!

I have nothing particular on my agenda today except for some minor cleaning. It has turned cloudy with a minor possibility of a little rain. Good day to try to catch up on some of my reading. And here is Oscar

looking for attention.

A good reason, at any time, to take a break.
