Barn Quilt

 

First of the year and there are tasks to perform.  I had bought new calendars for the dining room, garage, and Mjolnir back in August.  Took out the old ones and inserted the new 2025 ones.  Hated to toss the old ones but have yet to figure out how their pictures can be recycled.  I keep a white board calendar in the computer room though so that requires cleaning off December and writing in January.   On odd numbered years I write the month at the top of the board in German ('even years' is Spanish) and I'm finally getting pretty good at not needing to look up how to spell each one.   Next is to make a new spreadsheet.  I have so many going that I bundled them into one document and labeled it w/ the year.  I'll copy that over to a new 2025 file and erase the data.  One of the spreadsheets is the new flora/fauna I found that year.  Reminds me that I didn't mention the ones I found last year - Arrowwood Viburnum and a Myrtle Warbler and that I'd put in about150 hours of volunteer time at the library.  Since I was already on the computer, the new year isn't a bad time to backup everything so I ran that program.  While that was backing up I found my stash of stamp rolls and checks.  Turns out that last bill I paid in 2024 used up both the last check in the check book and the last stamp in my stamp dispenser.  Refilled both.   Went out to Sleipnir and watered the flowers.  They only need it once a month so I try to do it on the first of the month.   The rest of the day was pretty normal though I decided to try something new for breakfast (or at least something I haven't had in awhile).  I made crepes and filled them w/ fresh blackberries and raspberries.  Will have to remember to make that more often.
