February Pastimes..

Hello there everyone.. 

Another beautiful day here with the hint of Spring in the air.. 

If you look at the picture above you can see it down there in the far field and just around the corner.. grin.. 

When we get to the end of March we may be at the turn.. 

Oh Canada... 

How we love your seasons.. smile.. 

I forgot to mention that my hubby bought me a new sewing machine... 

It is not an expensive one but just right for taking to Keepers meetings and such.. 

Today, I spent time getting it threaded and figuring it all out.. 

Not too complicated but took a bit of time.. 

So excited for our next meeting on Saturday morning.. 

I have been scanning the book shelves and Pinterest trying to find something that will interest everyone.. 

My birthday plant is still blooming.. So pretty.. 

I love plants this time of year and have quite a few herbs now on my window sill.. 

They are all doing well except for the basil.. 

I think I will cut it down and make a nice salad dressing with it and hope it comes back healthier.. 

I bought the oval pan at the Thrift shop that is hanging on the rack in the pantry.. 

It is heavy and I have been using it to put water in and then the custard cups.. 

I think it has an original use but do not know what it is.. 

Do any of you know?  

Well, dear hearts I must go.. 

We had a wonderful Bible Study tonight.. 

So blessed with hearing the Word... 

Tomorrow I am hoping to get to the library.. 

Do you ladies use one.. 

I think it is one of my fave places to spend time.. 

Also, I plan on visiting the health food store and get 

some more seeds for sprouting and a thrift shop.. 

Then.. 

I have to get my eyes tested.. Yuk... 

I get so nervous that I steam up the eye thing and the poor doctor spends more time clearing it then giving me my test.. sigh.. 

Why... why... Do I have to have this stupid phobia??.. 

I will surely guzzle at least 2 cups of tea trying to calm myself.. 

And the thing is that it doesn't even hurt.. 

Now,..you all know how weird I really am.. smile.. 

Hopefully, it won't change your good opinion of me.. grin.. 

Just pray for me...

You all have a great week and I will get back to you soon.. 

Thanks for stopping by and for your lovely notes.. 

Love love them.. 

Blessings..

Oh, I almost forgot.. 

Here is the recipe for the icing I tried.. 

BROWNED BUTTER FROSTING

3 Tablespoons of butter

1 1/2 cups of icing sugar

1/2 tsp. vanilla 

About 1 T. milk.. 

Heat butter in a small saucepan until delicately brown over medium heat.  Mix into sugar.. Add vanilla.. 

Stir in milk until creamy.. 

This says it is enough for an 8 inch cake but next time I will double it.. I think.. 

Very good... 

Take care..

Yes.. I am done...
