Good Morning!
This weather!! It's like a broken or scratched record...playing the same bit over and over. Bitter cold temps, winds (which did pick up again yesterday) and snow. Yesterday was a good day to stay in (which I did). It started snowing here right around 1 p.m. and continued for a couple of hours. Just a dusting, but again the wind picked up. This morning there is evidence of Mabel (or some creature) walking down the walk by our front door.
I made a huge pot of soup yesterday for dinner. Enough that there is some in the freezer and more in the frig - Colin, Mailing and Iris will be over Sunday for lunch so home made soup and home made bread are on the menu. Fletch has requested a pineapple upside down cake for dessert, so there will be that too. (I need to get the pineapple and heavy cream for whipping.)
Yesterday I shunned all chores and managed to knit in the morning and stitch in the afternoon. Reading was sprinkled throughout the day. I'm hoping for more of the same today (except that the kitchen floor really could use some attention....). I should also finish pulling together things for taxes - everything is in a folder, I just need to organize it and list out some stuff (medical, donations, etc.). Our appointment with our tax person is not till March 20th (Spring Equinox!!!), but I'd like to have everything together before then.
No plans for the weekend (other than the kids being here Sunday afternoon) which is the way I like it. The sky is blue and the sun is up. We are going to order out Thai food for dinner which will be easy and tasty! I'd love to get out for a walk, but temps in the teens and wind don't make me excited about doing that. I'll see how it goes. I have a book to drop at the library and another one to pick up, so when I go out I will see how it feels.
Meanwhile, wishing you all a lovely weekend filled with kind and joyful things. Enjoy!! I'm off to fix another cup of coffee.
I was surprised to see a couple of inches of snow out there this morning (so much for just snow showers) and oh, good, it's supposed to be another windy day. The gusts >40 mph aren't rattling the house yet, but I hope to stay inside and stay warm. I hope you have another day like yesterday; the kitchen floor can wait! Wishing you a warm and joyful weekend (with plenty of Iris snuggles).
ReplyDeleteIt JUST KEEPS SNOWING HERE AND I'M OVER IT.
ReplyDeleteI might need to be locked away pretty soon and put under heavy sedation.
Sounds like lovely plans and relaxing times!
ReplyDeleteYou have a lovely weekend as well! Stay warm and enjoy that soup!
ReplyDeleteHomemade soup and homemade bread sound perfect for a cold day! Plus baby snuggles! Here's hoping the weather warms up a bit and you have lots of sources of joy this weekend.
ReplyDeleteA big pot of hot soup sounds wonderful on a cold, windy day like today. We just tried to take Pup out for a walk but came back after just a little while because of that wind. It's so bitterly cold it took my breath away.
ReplyDeleteWarmer weather should be on the way for you because it's supposed to be in the teens here today and hopefully it will then head your way. The soup sounds perfect for a day like you've had. It's been so cold here. You couldn't be outside for more than a moment or two before your face was numb.
