Currently: March 2021

As has become my new tradition on the first Wednesday of the month, I'm participating in "Currently" with Anne at in residence. You can find her blog here. This month we're talking about what we're choosing, imagining, making, recommending, and wearing.

[choosing]

I never imagined that we would become puzzle people but we have discovered them since Covid hit and they are a nice way to spend some time. Almost every weekend since Christmas, we choose a puzzle to do. We've bought them all from a local small business and I keep wanting to get more. The 500-piece MudPuppy puzzles are our favourite.

[imagining]

Lately Dave and I have been imagining travel when these aren't our only options! I'm sure you've seen this one before but I just loved it. Also, a few different people have sent this to me and I can't find an original source.

[making]

The other day I made banana muffins with chocolate chips. I'm also making a lot of pots of tea right now! Other than that, we've been "making" progress in getting our house more organized and getting rid of things we're no longer using :)

[recommending]

I'm recommending that everyone buy some tulips to remind us all that spring is coming. In our part of the world, it isn't here yet, but it's getting closer... Clearly everyone has been taking me up on this recommendation because our grocery store has been sold out of tulips for the past few weeks! Hahaha!

[wearing]


Well a few times last week, I was able to finally wear my spring jacket. And I also left the house wearing just my running shoes!!! Whooo hooo!!! We're back to colder temperatures this week however (boo) but I'm keeping my spring jacket at the ready. Supposedly on Monday, our high will be 8C (46F) which is glorious!!!

(Clearly, I'm also still wearing my owl pajama pants whenever I'm at home! This was a staged photo since I didn't have a good one of me in my jacket and running shoes.)

And this is what is up with me "currently." What are you currently up to?

    Oh my gosh, a high of 46! That's our low...and I'm cold in that! Love the owl PJ's. Yes to tulips, I actually bought some really good fake ones off Amazon so I can see pretty tulips all the time :)

    We have a ton of puzzles and tend to start them but never finish them. I think the 1,000 pieces are too much for us and we need to go to 500 or less. I like your recommendation! Next time I'm at the store, I may just pick up some tulips. :)

    The travel books, ha! And I agree - 46 is too cold for my thin blood. Blueberry muffins with chocolate chips?!?! Send me some!!! ;)

    We've become puzzlers, too! Totally addictive, I must say. Do you take yours apart and put them back in the box? We've been doing 1,000-2,000-pc puzzles. I want to take them apart...my husband doesn't. I love the process, but I don't necessarily want them to become my wall art! (And I have NOT seen that hilarious Lonely Planet pic. It took me a minute to realize what I was looking at it--and I love it! (Well, don't love it. But you know what I mean.) :)

      We do our puzzles on our dining room table so yes we take them apart. We keep them together for a couple of days to enjoy them but then I want my eating spot back! We like re-doing puzzles so we're trying to work our way through all of them again.

    Yes, it's nearly 50 here today and I am chomping at the bit to get outside. It will be wet and most likely muddy but I don't care. I really enjoy a good puzzle too.

    I'm often wearing PJ pants these days. Tulips are very pretty - and I'm sooo ready for Spring to come.

    I feel exactly the same way about tulips this time of year - it won't be till May that they actually bloom here, but I always start buying them now because we really do just need that in our lives in March :) Love the puzzle collection!

    Those muffins look amazing. It was 53 degrees out today and I felt like I could put on a tank top!

      The kids wanted to leave the house without jackets and I had to give them the "It's not warm enough and no one can get sick right now" speech. It was about 4C (40F) so not all that warm.

    And I think you are right - I need tulips!

      Our house feels so much better now and it was something to keep us busy at home while the provincial lock down was in effect.

    I am cracking up at those book titles. Also, I recently started adding not only chocolate chips but also a small amount of coconut and granola to my banana muffins and it's totally transformed them!

Thank you for being interested in my life as I blog it and for leaving a comment. Comments make me happier than reading a good book and drinking a cold Coke. Almost :)
