Morning MMC! Happy Pines Day again! Definitely didn't feel any headache or tired on Tuesday which was good. Another day at work today and then a relaxing evening at home. I can see the grass (partially) after a warm spring Tuesday. Unfortunately it's going to be back below normal for a couple of days now before a beautiful Saturday being predicted. Hope everyone has a great mid-week!
Happy Birthday Snowflake ~
I hope you have a wonderful day!
Sending lots of love & hugs <3

Good morning MMC ~
Happy Pines Day!
It's going to be sunny but windy and cold today. Not too much going on here. I've been up for awhile. My middle daughter finished orientation & training at the hospital, today is her first real day of work. Hope it goes smoothly. Typical day for me, I have to run a couple of errands and I'll be working on my daily chores. My mother is coming over to visit later this afternoon. That's about it for me. I hope everyone is well and has a great day!

Good Morning, Milestone Seekers.
Seek and ye shall find!
(And the next one is close to hand, ready to be discovered. Details pending.)
This morning's figures:
Days to the Season: 236
Days to Christmas Day: 278
FOUR.
<< What? >>
FOUR. That's the number of days still standing between us and the completion of the first QUARTER of our journey back to Christmas Day.
That's barely over HALF A WEEK, now.
<< Wow, Crown! >>
Wow, indeed.
Well, it almost seemed yesterday that we moved directly from winter to summer, skipping spring entirely. Lots and lots of sun and temperatures near 80 degrees. No precipitation, too.
Great!
Today will see us back down to cooler temps. We have started things off at 55 degrees here and are not predicted to leave the 50's all day.
Have a Wonderful Wednesday, Friends!
See you at the 'Pines this evening, as Carl continues his theme of "Marching through March".
I think a conga line is planned with little doubt as to who will be leading it.
(What's of more interest, if not concern, is where it will be leading TO!)

@snowflake22 happy birthday! Hope you have a wonderful day!
Thanks Crown! Seems like a brisk March through March so far!
Good morning MMC! Merry Pines Day!!! We have started the day with a bright & sunny/breezy 22º! Brrrrr! But it sure looks pretty - looking out the window!
My homemade bread turned out pretty good last night. I will do it a little different the next time, but all in all, it was tasty! The new patty melt recipe was good too though Jim says I can back off the Dijon mustard the next time!
I heard him tell Gracie it was scrumptious!!
If you could say a prayer for my friend Roxanne today, I would appreciate it. She goes in for a cancer scan in Columbus today. She had a double mastectomy a few weeks ago & then didn't get the results she was hoping for. She sure could use some MMC prayers! Thanks!
Everyone, have a wonderful day! See you tonight at the Pines!!

Nope, this one "needs to be kneaded"
but not a lot. My Kitchen Aid does all that work though. Thankfully when I stopped at Moms after work yesterday Emma was in the middle of making bread, so I got a few tips from her.This is Emma's recipe:
Emma's Homemade Bread (2 loaves)
1 C. Hot Water
2 T. Butter
2 T. Sugar (divided)
1/2 T. salt
1 C. lukewarm water
1 T. or 1 pkg, yeast
4 1/2 - 5 Cup Bread Flour
Dissolve yeast with 1 T. Sugar in the lukewarm water & let rise (10-15 minutes). Stir together the 1 C. Hot water, butter, salt, & the other T. of Sugar. After the yeast has risen mix it with the hot water mixture. Then add around 4 1/2 - 5 C. Flour. Knead a little. Let rise for maybe an hour, punch it down, & let rise again until double in size. (second time doesn't take as long as the 1st) Put in 2 pans, & let rise to a normal size loaf. Bake at 350º, 30 minutes.
After it's done, butter tops & sides.
Best when served warm.
Good morning CS! Sounds like you had a nice afternoon off yesterday. The ceramic ornament for your back yard sounds really cute!! Have a Merry Pines Day!
Stay warm!!!
Safe travels. Where did they decide to go??
Hope it wasn't toooooo cold this morning!!! xx
Sending a prayer for Roxanne now. Bless her heart.Good morning MMC! Merry Pines Day!!! We have started the day with a bright & sunny/breezy 22º! Brrrrr! But it sure looks pretty - looking out the window!

Good Pinesday morning, Christmas friends!
Wow, it was almost 90°F yesterday. I had some work to do on my sign rental business, and it was so warm I had to wear shorts. You do NOT want to see these white legs without some form of eye protection!
We have another day around 80 today, then 65 tomorrow, then 80 Friday... it's just crazy around here.
I hope y'all have a great day!
