Rainy day, rainy day

Rainy day, rainy day, come and wash our germs away..........take away the flu germs from our house, today!

Freshly picked lemons

We've been using fresh lemon juice in our cucumber, vegetable juice. I love having a juicer! The extra bit of clean up after juicing is so, so worth it. Vegetable juice is packed with vitamins and alkalinity to keep healthy. This morning we threw in a cucumber, carrot, parsley, and a few drops of fresh squeezed lemon juice. You can add garlic, and pretty much anything fruity, greens, or vegetable related that you have on hand. I can already feel the cleansing effects of the juice. We're fighting nasty, cootie germs in our house. Ear infection, bad cough, fevers. More juice please! I'll take a double!

Meanwhile, the rains are freshening up the air, and making our rolling hills more green! We like it that way! This kind of weather makes us in the mood for hot soups. I've used my crock pot almost every day this week.

Yesterday we stayed in all day (sick day) and made doll clothes. Our favorite patterns are from Patty Young's Mod Kids series. Yesterday's dress was the Mini Frida pattern.

Lucky Julie dollie girl has a pretty new dress, just in time for Spring!


Julie's new dress and clutch

Check out the adorable clutch made all by Julie's little mommy! ALL BY HERSELF! No help, folks! This kid knows how to install zippers, no less! Thanks for letting this mommy brag for a moment!

Gonna go and snap some shots of the freshly fallen snow on the hills around here. Snow is not something we see in our neighbor hood very often. Let me repeat, very seldom!
