It has turned cold over at Patrice's fromt Everday Ruralty and she is having to cook without an oven! That would be hard to do for me as I use my oven ALL THE TIME when it's cold out - nothing like being in a nice warm kitchen. We hope that she gets out and finds a replacement soon!
Here are this week's questions:
- What's your favorite kind of tree?
- How did you celebrate the New Year?
- Do you have any family traditions for the New Year?
- I'm so glad I____________ in 2011.
- Did you have a nickname as a child?
- I'd have to say that a Weeping Willow is my favorite. I've never had one and I've heard that they can be messy but I just love the way they look.
- I sat in my chair and read my first book on my new Kindel.
- Not really.
- I'm so glad I started remodeling in 2011. (Although sometimes I think I may never be done.)
- Yes I did - I was "supposed" to be a boy so my dad tried to turn me into one. I was called "Jo-..." (we won't go into the rest of the nickname).
Weeping willows are very pretty. I always wanted one in my yard. Now I'm really curious about the rest of the nickname.....:)
ReplyDeleteSeriously, you can't tease us like that ;0 I'll bet there are a lot of girls out there who have boy's nicknames for the same reason. I'm guessing it doesn't much work the other way round.
ReplyDeleteI grew up in a weeping willow tree! I was the youngest kid-by far. I had to spend lots of time alone and it was easy to send me outside to play. We had a home with a pond in the side yard. There was a lovely,old weeping willow tree that overlooked the pond. It's graceful branches sometimes just touched the surface of the water. I used to climb that tree and sit up there and read. I would take some of the thin, soft branches and braid them into necklaces. That tree was like a friend. When the house was sold to someone else in the family and the pond was filled in, my sister took cuttings of the tree. They brought it to me, but I was VERY pregnant and couldn't go plant it. Someone in the family said they would plant it, but I think it never made it out of the bucket. I guess you just can't do everything, all of the time.
ReplyDeleteI also love the Weeping Willow...and I read my Kobo on New Years day:)
