| I have a confession to make. I made a rug yesterday and one today. I can't stop! See the lint? This is where I've been sitting to tear my fabric into strips. I must get this cleaned up soon. Okay, maybe not. Ehhh-what's the difference? |

| It snowed today. I do love my snow, but my child is driving on snow covered roads tonight and that always makes me a bit nervous! |

| I hugged a tree today. |

| I found a tiny snake in the driveway. At first I thought it was real, but upon closer inspection-I realized it was plastic. My kiddo would play with these in the bathtub when she was little (remember that freaked you out, Rhonda?). I have no idea where this came from. Perhaps it was unearthed from the driveway, somehow. I'm wearing my husband's boots. Attractive, eh??? |

| I ventured to the basement and retrieved this 12 inch cast iron skillet. It has been down there for years and years. I wanted to try cooking on cast iron again. It was a little rusty so I scrubbed it up with some oil and salt, rinsed it, then wiped it down with oil again. Then I put it in the oven at 300 degrees for about half an hour. (You're suppose to for an hour, but it smelled really bad, so I took it out.) (It would be best to 'bake' it at 250 for an hour then just let it cool in the oven.) I lightly buttered it and made some scrambled eggs. It worked like a charm. |

| To clean it-I just wiped it out. Easy peasy. I think I might like me some cast iron cooking. (By the way-this was my sister, Jodie's. I think it was one of her wedding gifts. She gave it to me many, many years ago, but I never used it. Until now!) Have a great day! |

*I think you might need to seek some help about your rug hooking issue! LOL
*The moss/lichen on the tree is beautiful!
*That snake was icky, fake or not! Thank Heavens it is too cold for real snakes!
*If you "bake" cast iron at 250 for an hour then just let it cool in the oven it will be cured; no smoke or smell in the house......
*I love your posts and I can tell you are a real sweety! :o)
Dawn,
*I think you might be right!
*I thought so too.
*He scared me at first!
*You know-I wrote that wrong. I baked it at 300 but apparently that's still too hot. I'm going to change that in the post and suggest that 250 is better.
*Thank you, dear!
Oh my! I remember the snakes. I never allowed my boys to have them cuz they really FREAK ME OUT. There is one on the side of the road about 1/2 mile from here and when I was jogging, it would never fail that I would see it and jump EVERY single time, even though I knew it was there. As for the cast iron - I LOVE THEM! I "married" into a cast iron family - Dan has several pans all different sizes. I'd never used them before this, but I use them all the time now - they are excellent. I would like to get one that looks like a grill so that I could have the grill marks on the chicken and beef. It just tastes better with the grill marks :-)
The older the cast iron, the better. I have some from my grandmother and love cooking on it. And my biggest fear in life is snakes. This is why I love winter -- they're no where to be found (except your blog).
I love cast iron too. We use one all the time at camp and I have a panini maker that does leave those grill marks which are awesome. I just wish they weren't so darn heavy! I hate snakes too and Remi loves them and loves scaring people with them (boys)> And all the lint is worth it for all those beautiful rugs you make! I LOVE snow too, except to drive in it.
