Happy Spring all!<br />
Ok, TONS and tons and tons of life has been happening! You too eh? Well, I told you I would get around to this blog Again someday. Today, is not really that day. BUT, we, my daughter and a couple of DIL's and one DIL 's mom, are going to be building a new blog. We're all way excited by the prospects , but we're are going to be leaving blogger behind.... Sad sigh. It was a fun ride while it lasted but we are looking for something different. We're going to be having an etsy shop as well, with the hopes of a twice a year market show. When each little detail is set in stone, we will shout it from the roof tops! For now, I have reopened this blog for an old friend who had a quirky desire to read it. ( oppps, did I say the word "old"? Well we iz what we iz ) <a href="http://cricketsongfarm.blogspot.com/search/label/molting" target="_blank">Molting Here...</a><br />
For the most part I have been a silent reader to your blogs, and I want to thank you for the good times!<br />
I quit enjoy Pinterest. It can really suck a person in I think.<br />
You can find me there , on pinterest, simply as Lewaina Nelson. My profile picture is tipis.<br />
I also follow a few of you on Instagram.<br />
Hopefully, When the new blog is up, we'll be sharing with you there as well.<br />
<br />
Hope spring is warming your neck of the woods! It's a VERY welcome item here!<br />
<br />
Blessings from the Stone House

I need to down size my photos. (Thanks again Savannah) I'm having a tiny bit of stress in my life, so I can't think about how to down size photos today..... And maybe not tomorrow....but maybe the day after that ( meaning a somewhat mythical day in the future) I'll get it together! Ha! If you know me at all your laughing your head off here cuz you know I've NEVER had it together and the likelihood of that happening is..... Well not very. <br />
However, pictures or not, a thought for the day. <br />

Drenched in Joy. Doesn't that sound amazing? <br />
<br />
Really, I can hardly wait.<br />
<br />
Thanks to all who love me. You bring sunshine and warmth to my life. Joy! <br />

They who love it wish for more, they who don't (mostly me) are also wishing for more.<br />
We need it for up coming crops.<br />
It's been so nice and warm that I have been loving the very balmy-ness of our January!<br />
Well, with the exception of worrying about a drouth...<br />
We all have been watching the skies, waiting for signs of a snow flake, all the<br />
while basking in the warmth of 50 degree weather.<br />
Yesterday it came.<br />
Softly. <br />
Silently.<br />
Clean, wet and fresh.<br />
How funny, something I usually dread brought so much peace to my heart.<br />
( the drouth issue again?...)<br />
Maybe.<br />
Maybe not.<br />
Somehow, I felt renewed.<br />
Which was a surprise to me.<br />
I'm a died in the wool SNOW scrooge!<br />
I ran outside yesterday, and by the time I was done I looked like a yeti. <br />
I needed wipers for my skinny little eyelashes.(did you think I was going to say skinny something else?) Nada. Nonexistent.<br />
Last night the wind blew. <br />
Froze all that beautiful snow.<br />
But I still feel some excitement lingering and swirling around me.<br />
Maybe we'll get some more this coming week.<br />
Who knows, maybe I can reckon with old man winter, and find a reason to enjoy it.<br />
Maybe.<br />
Hmmm. <br />
I had better not push my luck. :-)<br />

I was a lucky sucker and got an ipad for mothers day last year, and I have tried to post posts from it, but could not down load pictures. I didn't get in any kind of a snit over it though cuz I was just busy and figured I'd get the process learned sooner than not. Well, I can't download any pictures to my blog at all, not on my ipad, nor the PC. Blogger tells me I've maxed out my quota with Picasa and if I want to download any more pictures, I can BUY more space. HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS TROUBLE? No one that I personally know has had any idea what is going on. I'm not sure what I need to do. CAN ANYONE OUT THERE OFFER ME ANY HELP?</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> SO in the mean time, since I missed almost a years worth of wishing you happy every holiday that has passed, I'm going to skip January and get a head start on Valentines day!

Huge rocks that had to be moved in order for cars to drive by. It's amazing and a little bit scary to me that just a few minutes of rain could put down so much water, and that also in just a matter of minutes, it could turn into a furiously fast river where there was no river bed to carry it away!</div><br />

NOW, I have to show you my wonderful gift from my sweetheart of a niece. <br />
I still don't know what I ever did to merit this gift, but I LOVE them! ( so much that I had to do a little photo shoot with these beauties, and my feet! LOL) <br />

And it felt like it was a way fast ride, but it was a fun even tho it was a bit scary while it lasted? </div>Well, these months have just zoomed by like a fast ride. But I've had a good time riding!<br />
<br />
I haven't even looked at blogs for so long. I meant too but..................................<br />
<br />
We took the camper out over Easter weekend, it was so cold and our SIL got sick and scared us all. <br />
He ended up in the ER, and then again a week later. They told him he has Asthma. Scary . He also graduated this spring with his Masters!!! Way to go B !<br />
<br />
That last month of school zipped by....which didn't break my heart at all!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
We had a wonderful, awesome trek. Oh my goodness! Words can not even describe my experience there at 6th crossing and Martins Cove and Rock creek Hollow. I learned some things about myself on trek this time. <br />
<br />
Girls camp was a BLAST!!! I came home so stinkin tired that I had to nap for two days straight! <br />
I have no pictures of either event. Sigh. <br />
<br />
We sold all of our cows. Seems a bit strange, but we felt it was time. We are just selling hay, so we still have wheel lines to move and hay to do, but first crop is done for this year! <br />
We did end up buying a truck. A Ford 4 door king ranch. We all pretty much love it. <br />
<br />
Jim Bob (nick name for our teen) and his cousin (BFF) ( oh wait, is that a term that's applicable to guys?) and their friend, each bleached their hair. Hum. I decide that yes, Jim Bob could do it, but would he please wait until after I was home from camp so I could do it for him.<br />
No.<br />
They couldn't wait.<br />
It was a laughable mess really. <br />
They bought 1, (one) box of frost from the grocery store....., and split it on three heads!<br />
Um hum. At least they listened to me when I had told them to put plastic bags over their heads to keep the heat in. Jim Bob had orange hair. Well, in spots. He had to wear it to church like that because it was way to late to go back into town after more frost. I did cut it ,so it was pretty short which helped a bunch.<br />
The next time I helped him and he all got it all lightened. Some of the phases my boys have gone through. :-)<br />
<br />
(sorry Mom...she would NOT be pleased to have any part of her, out there...)<br />

I'm still walking and everyday I work at running too.

WHAT is she thinking??? We can't get in for 2012 because they are full already, so we are trying for 2013. <br />
I'll be two years older! AHHHHHH! I don't know if I can do it. Can you tell I'm full of doubt? Angie is way sure we can all learn to run and do it! HA! But if we don't try, we'll never know huh! LOL<br />

All of my <strike>daughters/DIL's</strike> daughters and I went to Provo area for a girls get away of thrift shopping and fun together. We had a good time and found some fun treasures, and played some silly games and just laughted a bunch. <br />
<br />
I had another Birthday and the Mr asked me what I wanted to do to celebrate and I told him I wanted to do a session at the Nauvoo Temple. We really didn't have the right time scale to drive to Ill, so we went to Manti instead. My parents were married there. It is such a beautiful Temple. <br />

Wish I had some place to use them in everyday life. The gift table was an old metal bed. A cot really, I think. At one time, before it was old and rusted, it folded. It was a lucky find by the Mr one day at work. His line crew was building line and he saw this old bed, equipped with bed springs, under a tree in a field. He came home and told me about it and of course I wanted it.......(dah).....anyway he asked the land owner who was a little grandpa gentleman if he could buy it and ended up with the bed for free! I don't have any where for it in my house...yet. I would like to put it in the teens room as a company bed for when his cousin sleeps over, but he has a HUGE adversion to "old"! (There really is just no accounting for bad taste! old is wonderful!)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVH2qyG-MqpwYNscnlLgYAmQW9KbKZFAAkGdthK0135nhzuSF7ygaryjVOJZkhuq87c9gE9sTeeMmTdraLAkQ45Y_Q_8ZplKdDBzesW4Zkkqk27M-FKhmQ-BJGTRaPWIEg3um1uAdrK_t6/s1600/wedding+011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" q6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVH2qyG-MqpwYNscnlLgYAmQW9KbKZFAAkGdthK0135nhzuSF7ygaryjVOJZkhuq87c9gE9sTeeMmTdraLAkQ45Y_Q_8ZplKdDBzesW4Zkkqk27M-FKhmQ-BJGTRaPWIEg3um1uAdrK_t6/s400/wedding+011.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So, we have our old bed, with two old trunks at each end, a glider bench and a coffee table, all of which held gifts.

My craziness is over, for this week anyway! lol Here are a few shots of the back drop the morning of the reception. Just the bride and groom stood here. When our oldest daughter was married 10 years ago, she requested an old door back drop. The middle door is oak and was the front door of my parents home in Rexburg Id. They did a remodel and were getting rid of the door. I couldn't let that happen! I have no clue how we got it here to Ut. I'll bet the Mr. remembers tho! lol The white door was the old kitchen door here at the Stone House, and the other three doors my friend kindly gave us from her folks old home. We have enjoyed these doors as a back drop a bunch of times. This reception was for Lindsey Mitchell, a friends daughter. So, this is what we did with the church gym!<br />

Hope your week end is going well. I apologise for my bloggy absence. I'm sure I've missed some good times. We have been having very fine weather, and I'm NOT going to be a complainer about the MUD! It is HEAVEN to have it warming up! The tree buds are swelling and patches of grass are green and, the Canadian GEESE are everywhere! A very sure sign of warmer days! Wed morning I stowed away with my mom and sister and went to Idaho. It was a very pleasant two days. We were able to get together with my other sister before she had to go up the mountain to work. I was bummed we didn't get her for the full time we were there. Here we are together with our Mother, and I'm there by her. I'm the oldest sister.

Yesterday the wind also blew and drifted the roads. We had a very kind neighbor from a few miles up the road who came around and plowed every ones driveways and roads sat night, and then again Sunday morning after we got even more snow. I would not have gotten down our lane in my car other wise. And speaking of cars... the Mr and I need to get a new one. We are driving a Park Ave. ( the teen calls it 'the boat' )and it has almost two hundred thousand miles on it and has begun to fall apart piece by piece. So we are in the process of trying to decide what it is we want/need to replace it with. A car? Better mileage. A 1/2 truck? Better for the farm and other things but not mileage. Which is a major consideration with our fuel prices. Diesel is almost 4 dollars a gallon and gas is well over three. We will most likely need a newer 3/4 ton truck before the tractor is paid for, and so we are in a quandary. We were hoping our car would just keep lasting and lasting and lasting and lasting and then some more. It has been a good car, nice to travel in and dependable. When we get something else the Mr will end up driving it to work and we will park his truck and use it more sparingly. We are leaning towards a truck, which sounds very good this time of year! lol But we haven't made any decisions yet. I have cub Blue and Gold this Thursday, which is causing me all kinds of planning stress! ( lets face it girls, a simple picnic causes me all kinds of planning stress...), and my oldest DD and I are helping a friend do her daughters wedding reception Friday night. AHHHHHHHH! Next week will be a veggie week for me. lol </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">When it rains it pours! THANK HEAVENS for the PACK COMMITTEE and a DAUGHTER!

Here's what you need to make these fun little mice.<br />
1 package Oreos any flavor. Ours were mostly mint.<br />
Pkg of white and Chocolate Almond Bark<br />
1-2 jars Maraschino Cherries with STEMS. Green or Red, doesn't matter.<br />
Hersey's Kisses, unwrapped<br />
Red hots or something small for eyes. (can use frosting or colored chocolate<br />
Sliced Almonds for ears Cookie sheets lined with wax paper<br />
Melt the bark in pans in a low oven. (170-200 degrees) Watch it so it doesn't burn. Depending on how many you are making, you will not want to melt all of the bark.<br />

<br />
Dip Oreos in the white bark, and lay them on the wax paper to set up. These will be the base for the mice.<br />

<br />
While these are setting up, drain the cherries and dump them on a paper towel lined plate. Blot them dry. The bark will not adhere to them if they are wet with the juice.<br />

<br />
Sorry for the blurry picture.......OK, now the fun part........... Eating all the cherries and throwing everything else away! Just kidding. I do love the cherries though........<br />
Dip the cherries by their stems in the bark. Be sure to cover them completely. Gently shake them to get as much excess bark off as you can, then set them on the Oreo base, in the center.<br />

Some of the stems come broken as you can see, but they work anyway. Working quickly, add a kiss for the head, and then add almonds for the ears. Try to find two almonds almost the same size for each<br />

<br />
You need to work quickly as the bark sets up very fast. Now, the eyes. Use red hots, or what ever you choose. Just chocolate glue them in place and WA La, you have Mice! Drop each one in a cupcake paper and they are ready to go. Be sure you only single layer these as you transport them from here to there, because those little ears break.<br />

Just a fast post today. I've got pack planning meeting in a while and then a fast trip out to Salt Lake to visit a friend in the hospital. Thanks to you ladies who accepted the pay it forward challenge!!! <br />
Just a couple valentines today, this sweet old paper valentine I found behind a drawer in an old desk. I have always meant to frame it. You can see I've never gotten that done.....the bottom part has been torn off. On the back it is written out To Preal R from Eva grace Ekshand. <br />

He has decided he's not a fan. I think he did really well. When he started we told him that he couldn't quit. If he decided part way through he didn't like it an wanted to quit, he couldn't. He would have to stick it out to the end. Ugg. Sometimes it's hard to stand behind your convictions. In the end we were all glad to be done, but I think we could each agree that it had been a good experience. We've spent every weekend almost during the season somewhere sitting in a gym. We had scary weather a couple of times, but these little weekend road trips with just the 3 of us have been good times. On our way home from Richfield, we took the long way home and stopped here .....do you know how excited a 14 yr boy who has been trying to stay at 90 pounds can get when he sees this?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Alright....... I have decided to do "Pay it Forward : A Challenge" with <a href="http://agirlinagorillasuit.blogspot.com/2011/01/pay-it-forward-challenge.html">Marcy, a girl in a gorilla suit</a>. Like Marcy, I want to do something that gets me out of my comfort zone, and stretches me to do something I normally would not. And like Marcy, I have felt all kinds of anxt about doing this, the 'what if' this and 'what if that''s are pretty strong. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here's what Marcy said on her blog</div>One of my goals this year is to do things that I wouldn't normally feel comfortable doing. I'm trying to step outside myself and help develop the inner me. I'm still really nervous about a few things, but I have discovered that I actually can do hard things!<br />
<br />
A little while back I saw this post on FB...<br />
<br />
I thought the idea was cute, but I didn't feel confident enough to re-post it. All those doubts of "what if no one comments" or "what if they don't like what I make" came flooding into my head so I quickly dismissed the idea. <br />
BUT, today I read my friend, Lyssa's blog. She decided to do it on her blog! Genius, no? <br />
So here I am, doing things that I don't feel comfortable doing? Are you proud?<br />
<br />
"I promise to send something handmade<br />
to the first 4 people who leave a comment here.<br />
To be eligible, you must also post this on your blog,<br />
offering the same thing to 4 other people.<br />
<br />
The rules: That it must be handmade by you (me) and it<br />
must be sent to your 4 people (you!) sometime in 2011."<br />
<br />
You might have noticed that I changed the numbers a bit. I think doing 4 crafts will be an even "awesomer" challenge. <br />
<br />
Now it's up to you. Please comment if you'd like to be one of the lucky 4 people who will receive a handmade gift from me. I'm excited nervous having a panic attack so excited to see who I'll be sending my creations to. <br />

Have. No. Clue.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> However, I have found to my delight, (?) that I can run on it. 2-3 miles at a time. I know that doesn't sound like much, but for a..... ahem, well, for someone like me, It's huge! I've had this cold or whatever has been going around, and it lasts and lasts and lasts. So needless to say I haven't walked or ran very well for the past while. Pretty sporadically.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> Now tell me this,</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> why is it so <em><u><strong>easy</strong></u></em> to break a good habit?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">and so <em><u><strong>VERY</strong></u></em> easy to start bad ones?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Like, loafing around eating who knows what and not moving all day long? Calling myself sickly and telling myself it's OK to "rest" again.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So I pray for the desire to run and walk.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I do.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I have a son who is trying to quit smoking.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> I know this is a way way, way hard thing. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> I've told him that while he's doing this hard thing, I'll learn to run.

Last week I was at the TS, and I found four of these 100 % cotton curtains. I had them in my cart and they decided to put them back not knowing for sure where I would put them. As I was driving away I had the thought because they have a colonial pattern on them, that I could make short gowns out of them for the little girls to wear at Rendezvous. So after I had run a few errands I went back and got them. The next day, just for fun I hung them in my bedroom............. and here they'll stay.....sorry chick-a-bees, no short gowns from these fine curtains. (if your the kind person who donated these to the Ts, drop me a line an tell me where you got them I need two more!!! LOL ) ( and Thank You! )<br />
( I know this is NOT a good picture, Curtains have a brown back ground, there's a touch of purple, green tan and red. Glorious red. )</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibCRugLpF0QF3wPymnWNje95BNxMuzmBTk0WBrVfntQ2IfEKMcQVNhQdb0qwEPGeskfjE_gbo65xj-nrfWZ0JaOwpSTuwJ70yINJ4Da8LVNWhoeNJgj84bWToHE3nt73HA_1vXfGksJHU/s1600/hearts+016.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="cssfloat: right; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" n4="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibCRugLpF0QF3wPymnWNje95BNxMuzmBTk0WBrVfntQ2IfEKMcQVNhQdb0qwEPGeskfjE_gbo65xj-nrfWZ0JaOwpSTuwJ70yINJ4Da8LVNWhoeNJgj84bWToHE3nt73HA_1vXfGksJHU/s400/hearts+016.jpg" width="266" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">And lastly, </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">I have a another yen,</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">this time to have a valentine tree.

Hi everyone. Just thought I'd share a few pictures of a favorite grandson toy. It's a town, painted on canvas. It was made for the Mr. and his brothers when they were children by one of their aunts. My own boys played with it, and now the grands love it too. It's 45" x77" . I have no idea what year she made this,or what it's painted with, but the shops were all shops that were located in Roosevelt at that time. <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So while I was working on this post I got "the" call from our son. Our tiny new little granddaughter is here!!!! Can't tell you anything more than that because they hadn't weighed her yet. Her dad said she was kinda bald tho. ( like her Granna after her self haircut) I always worry so much about</div> both mom and baby and I'm so glad when labor and delivery is done and everyone is safe and well. I'll have to see about getting some pictures. I won't be able to go into town clear until the Mr. comes home from work tonight and can sit with the chick-a-bees. Welcome to the world sweet baby girl! (who is still nameless ) <br />

Whack job's more like it!I don't think I would have made a very good Pioneer. I'm such a whiner, I'm so done with winter already! I can't imagine what it must have been like for our pioneer grandmothers and grandfathers, just to keep alive everyday. How much work just to keep warm in the winter time! Wow. I'm so grateful for my nice warm home, an my washer and dryer, and hot water heater etc.! <br />
<br />
Here's one of the things on my "to make or buy" list for warmer days. Pony swings! I love them, and think we need some (at least 2 or 3 ) for the grands. I want mine hung on a pipe swing set, with ample room in between them. Eeeeehaw! Imagine what places will be visited on the backs of these noble steads!<br />

Oh my word! I knew I wanted it short short, like my oldest DD who is sporting a way cute faux hawk....but when I made that first snip with my scissors, uff da! Opps! What in the world had I just done to myself? It was about an inch long! OK, maybe an inch and a half. lol</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> I couldn't even cry about it, cuz I knew it would do no earthly good, just got to work cutting the rest off. This January through March part of winter is <em>a very dangerous time of year for me</em>! Out with the old, in with the new! Ha. Help! I need a keeper to keep me out of trouble ! lol Bless my Daughters heart she'll get stuck cleaning up the back where I have a hard time seeing! Oh the things a beautician does to herself because she thinks she can! There will be no forth coming photo......not for a inch or so! he he he :-) Truly, I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy the simpleness of it. This much I do know, it will grow!!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
