Looking forward to spring

I was trying to hurry and look a couple photos to blogger...so since we are all waiting for spring I though I would post this.  It is a bit past 10:00 p.m. as I type this and it is only 7ºF as I type this!

It is just so cold and the wind just cuts right through a person.  Just too cold for words to describe.  When we came home tonight, the wind had blown the swing about half way across the porch.  It is wood...so you know the wind was strong...

Somewhere in Indiana

This barn is somewhere here in Indiana...south of us I know that much.  I have searched and searched on Google Earth hoping to find a picture of it till I would know where it is at.  I'd love to find it again.  I'd love to photograph it in better lighting.  This was taken middle of a hot summer day.  We were just rambling around down south...

Then there is the place where these were taken at...again I know the general area.  Actually, have it narrowed down pretty good, but cannot find it again for the life of me.  I can tell the general area from the pictures taken before and after they were taken.

There is this saying I see every now and then that says:

Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most!

That sure holds true for me sometimes.

Friday 5...

Just a little photo of a church from Parke County I think.  I don't think I have ever posted it.  Just cannot do a post without one of my own pics.

It is that time of the week...one I really look forward to.  Tanya at Around Roanoke hosts the Willy Nilly Friday 5 where anyone that wants can list 5 Random thoughts or in some cases photos, then go to her blog and join the meme.  It is a really fun meme to join...love reading everyone's thoughts and ideas.  So with that being said, here goes.

1.  Do you ever have to do things to remind yourself of other things you need to do.  I have to do this fairly often....the trick is to find something that will make me think and remember.  I very seldom use HOT water for laundry...basically only with towels, and occasionally sheets.  To remind myself to switch the water temp off of hot, I will set the bottle of soap on the lid so I have to move it before I can remove the laundry.  

Same with dryer...I only ever use the cotton/higher heat setting on towels and sheets.  So I set something on the dryer vent to remind me to set the temp back down.  So far, knock on wood, these have worked.   Things that don't work...setting something in plain view with nothing around it till I have to see it.  I think I develop a sort of blindness then...I just don't see those things.

2.  I am reading this:  you can get/see it here.

I have only just started, but think I am going to enjoy it.

3.  I always wonder about our musical tastes....I really liked the song Closing Time by Semisonic...even though I thought it was about a bar.  And I don't drink.  Though in all honesty, some of the lines did not make total sense....but it had that one line that says:  Every new beginning is some other beginning's end.  And I just love that line...it had me for that line alone.  But if you ever listened to the song and thought you knew what it was about then watch the following video...you might get a surprise.


4.  Is anyone watching the new Masterpiece Mystery called Grantchester?  (Right now the link takes you to a page where you can watch the first episode, but the others are available.) It is really good.  Wikipedia says:  Grantchester is a detective drama set in the 1950's Cambridgeshire village of Grantchester near Cambridge, where Local Anglican vica Sidny Chamgers develops a side line in sleuthing--withe the enitially reluctant help of grumpy Detective Inspector Geordie Keating.

5.  Do you like grilled cheese?  And what do you like with it?  When I was getting over the flu during the holidays, I think grilled cheeses saved my life...almost.  LOL  They were one of the few things that tasted good.  I generally use American cheese, but sometimes we get farmer's cheese and use rye bread.....and Sarah was making a grilled cheese and used pepperjack and it looked yummy.  I normally have either dill pickles or tomato soup with mine.  I will eat bread and butter pickles as a last resort.
