Spring Mantles

 

These are my Spring mantles for 2026. 

Am trying to keep things more simple.

Our living room one.

We actually had a fire to curb the dampness

from the rainy day we had.

Next is our Keeping room mantle.

With textiles, bowls, document box and one bunny.

Plus my two canning crocks.

Finished the Spring Saltbox patterns

last year.

Had them framed and saved for this year.

Now working on the Summer ones.

Found me a German rabbit.

Ain't he cute!

Loving this other simple look.

In other news,

Took mom to get her weigh in and bloodwork 

done again the other day. She is losing weight again.

Went from 110.6 to 107.4.

Her doctor wants to see her every 2 weeks now.

Mom complained and I told her

"well if you keep eating sweets and no protein

then you will have to continue going every 2 weeks."

Not to mention your teeth are horrible now. 

She needs 2 teeth pilled and a partial

completed on 2 others.

After our 1 1/2 hour trip to the doctor,

I took her to lunch.

She ate walleye and fries with a dinner roll.

I had a 2 slices of personal deep dish 

pepperoni and ham pizza with a side salad.

Both were lunch specials.

I then had to go to our local cable company

to find out why my bill went up.

Was told in February when I signed up

for a new plan that I was locked in for 3 years.

The young lady told me it was because

the cable rates went up in January,

I again told her I signed up in February,

Then again she tells me the rate went up in January.

I politely said I understand what you are trying

to say, but January comes before February

and the rate hike would have already happened.

She had no answer then...she then

put my rate back down.

Once again we were under a freeze warning.

Wish Mother Nature would make up her mind.

It was another cold chilly day yesterday,

so I made a Mexican pork chili to warm us up.

Paired with a cold beer it was great I must say.

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.

Hope in your neck of the woods the weather

is cooperating.

Will you be watching the Kentucky Derby?

I realize it is the longest running sport in Louisville.

I also realize it helps the town with all of the

festivities, food and fireworks.

However most of you know I am not a fan of it,

because about 10 minutes from me is a farm

that brings in horses from Kentucky for slaughter.

It's the ugly truth with horses that DONT win.

They are trucked in up here and sent to Canada.

Just remember not every horse is a winner.

Most owners wont keep them if they dont produce.

The sad truth about horse racing.

Spring Mantle Blessings To All!
