I'm getting a new furnace and hot water heater.
I'm not seeing my pictures, only the data that they contain.
I will end this post now, I hope this is not something new and "improved", and
that we will be back to normal again soon. (Am I doing something wrong?)
Fingers crossed!
'Til next time,

It's a very simple recipe. Two 10 ounce bags of frozen strawberries, 4 cups of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Mix this all together and cook over medium heat for about 20 minutes, stirring constantly, until you feel it gel. Place in sterilized jars and place lids and rings on jars. Place in water bath canner and process for 15 minutes after it starts to boil. If not water bath processed, keep in refrigerator. As you can see, it made 4 half pint jars and a one quarter pint jar. This jam is so delicious! Easy Peasy!!!</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEUPk959TJW4EeU0Fx7GY5w13sylSe7SxxOtmnUle3dbo-bIiUNfIFzf5dhMQEJdyQcmAfYiwhcQT7Ju8BDZHDT7GAeziLuwo2W4wcEffOSCeH_2GHLNCUIxblu8H3k0zK09nkjVDw1I0/s2048/IMG_3913.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em;

It's been a while since I posted anything. I've had some health problems, which I'm hoping are resolved. I'm still healing, so it remains to be seen. I have been a little productive, during this time. Below are a few pictures of my latest projects.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">While I was in the hospital, the nurses were so nice to me. I noticed that they were all wearing surgical caps (to keep Covid out of their hair). I asked about the caps and my nurse said that one of the mothers of one of the nurses made a lot of them. So I volunteered to make some for them. She gave me a sample of one to bring home. I found the exact pattern for free on the internet. I got to use some of my stash of fabric. She asked that they be bright and cheerful! I think they are and I'm hoping they will enjoy using them. I made a few of the dark ones for the male nurses there, too. I still have to sew on the buttons to loop their masks onto.</span></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPrfRjoVIxJ4NHJr4s0s86vB1hESbDQT_SGbiMqJ6xo3k1N7mGh1pSLWNl-AO9FgcZxxE7INl6fvc9DKErpK99uVOknYtsH9eJ5f7csg8cgb2kTKr3V5_PjzOEYvvReNeFbQJBXRoZWag/s2048/IMG_3568.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPrfRjoVIxJ4NHJr4s0s86vB1hESbDQT_SGbiMqJ6xo3k1N7mGh1pSLWNl-AO9FgcZxxE7INl6fvc9DKErpK99uVOknYtsH9eJ5f7csg8cgb2kTKr3V5_PjzOEYvvReNeFbQJBXRoZWag/w300-h400/IMG_3568.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-RlBh9VCm53zyvgaonxSwocwPTBXS1vRwmPm_eMzZCwnEWdJEbUIrxr1RMk0AJYzYjdE5Dh3VUtbLT6Ks2CSJNm0DC61QnyssN6LWp24xwnXqZ3IgbIYrFdTuPbWo0Xa02NwHBcdko0Q/s2048/IMG_3567.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-RlBh9VCm53zyvgaonxSwocwPTBXS1vRwmPm_eMzZCwnEWdJEbUIrxr1RMk0AJYzYjdE5Dh3VUtbLT6Ks2CSJNm0DC61QnyssN6LWp24xwnXqZ3IgbIYrFdTuPbWo0Xa02NwHBcdko0Q/w300-h400/IMG_3567.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">I also made some new masks for my son-in-law for his comic book store.

I decided not to make a real Bonsai with a tree because I didn't feel that I had room for them. I can't leave them outside during the winter, as it gets too cold her for them.So I had this brilliant idea to fill them with potting mix and put some moss on top. I guess you could call it a "moss garden". Anyway, this is about 3 months after I did this. I have them inside on my plant stand now and they are doing great! All the greenery that you see has grown from the moss and the little trees grew on their own also. I have been watering them every other day and so far they are thriving. And I keep on getting new little surprises every now and then as new plants pop up. I bought the little brown one for a little plant that I got from the garden center. Unfortunately, I couldn't keep it watered and it succumbed. I had the little deer and the mushrooms from a fairy garden that my daughter gave to me, so I just relocated them to their new homes. I love how they turned out and I hope I can keep them growing until I can put them back outside in the Spring. </span></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGkcW1LDORy9rtarO8xEVO2WjujN3uN7qexbaITMOnMSCMrOWUoAK8vn6_xMOhGTVHO4XSeJgfKjX2fJxQXVrq5jP5bkd3vBlvow5DVG6QH3ZFL4cIYfmCD700AGe1iWu0e6OYh933L90/s2048/DSC04754.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em;

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So, the rule of the day and this post is: </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Be patient!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Wait for the flowers to bloom...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Wait for the new bulbs to grow up...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and wait for warmer days, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> when I will be able to get out there </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and work in my garden.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I will not rush! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Time is going by too fast anyway!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Enjoy every moment!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
