Signs of Spring popping up in the garden even though we will definitely have more severe weather before April looms I'm certain!<br /><br />I no longer keep the perfectly clean house - tidy and relatively dust free, but not spotless, just lived-in and loved. Too many other things in life to address as the years fly by so quickly - on this day last year I stepped ashore on the Falkland Islands! First 'local' I met was the coach driver and he was originally from Somerset - went with wife for a visit and never left!! Not a whole slew of neighbors there to come visiting to check out ones housekeeping skills, but lots of sheep..........and I have the beautiful yarn to prove it! Muddy boots go with the territory I guess, and I know your farm life is hard to beat Pat. <br /><br />Stinginess is debilitating and must make life miserable - when we have worked a lifetime we do deserve some of the good things in life that our hard-earned money can buy, in moderation of course. That said, today I may shop for new carpet for the stairs and bedrooms, and paint for some walls - Springtime will bring fixing up time as always, but I'll not be stingy and will get someone else to do the hard work now, sigh!<br /><br />Look forward to seeing the 'new you'. <br />Happy weekend - hope it dries up some.<br />Hugs - MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-89393661632751377352014-01-17T04:57:54.541-08:002014-01-17T04:57:54.541-08:00Is Dominic getting to you?

Bet they're not enjoying this wet weather too much. I enjoyed the Homestead Hill Farm blog very much and am SO glad it's not me having to do that!<br /><br />I am not houseproud, but if people are coming then I get in a panic and go flat out to have everything respectable. Living next door to a dairy farm though, it is very hard to avoid the mud . . .<br /><br />Oh, and I hate stingey people - such a meanness of spirit I feel.

As for being virtuous or stingey - I suppose it is down to that old adage 'All things in moderation'.
