The first day of spring began with frost everywhere and 24 degrees F. I will not be going out until the outside temperature gets above freezing (like 40 at least). I do most of my sewing in an unheated 200+ year old farmhouse which takes one hour to heat 10 degrees with a propane gas heater. Because of the open flame, I don't like to leave it on in a wooden structure unattended overnight. This means by the time the interior temp gets to 70 degrees so I can sew, it's lunchtime. My brain shuts down about 4pm -three hours maybe, hardly worth dealing with cold fabric. I'm going to have to wait until there are a couple nights over 40 degrees. BTW there is NO running water during the winter for fear of frozen pipes :(
In the meantime, I have been knitting while watching quilt videos on my new computer. The old one choked while trying to download the pdf for KY tax forms. We bought it in 2003 and it had a 256MB memory. The Internet was just too much for it to handle. I gave up trying to do anything with it like getting on the Web after I got my Kindle connected with the Wifi last summer. I did not like using the touchscreen for "writing" so that's why it's taken so long for me to get into blogging. I have downloaded all the pictures from my digital camera since January 2009. Now to sort and post them - TO THE WORLD!
I can see (barely) my first post on my blog. Gotta figure out how to fix the layout and add pictures. I would prefer to use Word to compose also but I couldn't figure the connection. I need a tutor! I think I will search for tutorials on blog writing today. I hope my future postings will show my good progress.
