What a mess

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (41231) • St. Catharines, Ontario 29 Mar

Today is garbage day around here. It is also fiercely windy. So the wind has been upsetting and redistributing all the recycling from across the road, either onto my front yard or down the street. The wind has also knocked off...

I'm here

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (41231) • St. Catharines, Ontario 28 Mar

I just haven't felt like interacting with anyone lately. Blame it on the weather. It's very depressing. Today's forecast is mostly cloudy but the sun looks as if it's trying to get past them. I really do need the sunshine to...

Someone's shouting out there

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (41231) • St. Catharines, Ontario 25 Mar

So I look out the front and there's at least a dozen swat guys out there ordering people out of #11 across the street, both ends of the street are blocked off, there's a big black humvee that looks more like a tank, weapons are...

Low hanging clouds

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (41231) • St. Catharines, Ontario 23 Mar

Or maybe it's high flying fog, but whatever it is, it is blocking out the sun this morning. It's rather dark in the house at 8:15 am. I hate having to put the lights on during the day but if I want to read or stitch after I finish...

I think Mother Nature is having a clearance sale

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (41231) • St. Catharines, Ontario 18 Mar

You know that saying "If you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes and it'll change"? That's what's happening here today in St Catharines. She's just throwing out everything in her closet. It's cloudy, it's sunny, it's snowing,...

Almost forgot

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (41231) • St. Catharines, Ontario 17 Mar

I took a break away from stitching my castle but I didn't take a break from stitching. This is called Ferry House and measures 5"x7". It was a kit, complete with the frame. I should have scanned it before I framed it but I didn't,...

Have you ever been

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (41231) • St. Catharines, Ontario 15 Mar

In "a conflictual situation"? I don't think I have, though I might have been in conflict with someone or something. Why can't people speak in plain language?

I had a dream...

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (41231) • St. Catharines, Ontario 13 Mar

Last night. Yeah, another one. I took a loaf of sliced bread out of the fridge because I wanted to make a sandwich, but when I was ready to open the bag, I saw that the side had a big hole in it and the entire...

It's starting

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (41231) • St. Catharines, Ontario 10 Mar

There's another nasty weather system aimed this way and I've seen some bits of moisture coming down. Between my poor eyesight and the screens on the windows, I can't tell what it is, but it's leaving little wet spots on the...

For your viewing pleasure

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (41231) • St. Catharines, Ontario 9 Mar

I went to the Centre today, and because it'll be closed next week for March break, we celebrated St Patrick's Day today. Most of us wore something green. I was foolish in expecting corned beef and cabbage for lunch. Instead, we...

Stupid song lyrics

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (41231) • St. Catharines, Ontario 27 Feb

When I woke up this morning June Garber was singing (on my clock radio) "I'm gonna live live live until I die." Well, what else can one do but live until they die? I suppose if a person is famous, or at least has friends and...

I don't know what it was

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (41231) • St. Catharines, Ontario 23 Feb

But something fierce came down last night. It could have been freezing rain, or sleet, even hail but it made a hell of a racket and I wasn't going out there to see what it actually was. Yesterday started with a few lazy flakes...

I often report to you my Yahoo horoscope for the day when it is particularly funny (to me, anyway). Today's version COULD be true... "SOMETHING new crosses your field of vision today and leads to greater interest in SOME aspect...

What's that song?

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (41231) • St. Catharines, Ontario 21 Feb

"Going to the Mardi Gras" keeps going through my head. Well, I'm not exactly going there but I will be going to the Centre today because they'll be serving pancakes for lunch (in honor of it being Pancake Tuesday, Mardi gras, Fat...

Somewhat... there's also a bunch of clouds up there. The temperature here at 11am is 5°C/41°F, doesn't look to be too windy. Maybe I should get dressed and dooo something. Here are my choices: Color my...

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (41231) • St. Catharines, Ontario 19 Feb

What's that crazy lady up to now? I have a futon bed with the good old-fashioned kapok mattress. It was getting a bit flattened on the side I mostly lie on, so I decided to flip it around to even things out. Have you ever...

In case you're wondering

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (41231) • St. Catharines, Ontario 9 Feb

I had my CT Sunday night and my doctor's office called a few minutes ago. Apparently, the results were "normal". But it was suggested that I have an MRI. I will see my doctor on the 28th and will know if/when I have it. And then...
