Greetings from Eastern PA,
It's a beautiful Winter Wonderland outside. We had some rain yesterday morning which turned into what I call "thick rain" - not really rain, but not quite snow, but not sleet either. That eventually changed into all snow and it is still coming down this morning. I took this picture when I came downstairs and stepped out onto our patio:
It's a lot. Right now it is very pretty. The street has not been plowed. I was supposed to watch Iris today, but I'm not going anywhere!
At Thanksgiving I had gotten a free (8 lbs!!) turkey breast from one of our grocery stores and decided to cook that yesterday. I made stuffing and a small green bean casserole. Good food on a snowy day. This morning I have the bones simmering on the stove for soup. I think a turkey sandwich is on the menu for lunch! I will freeze the soup for another day.
Some nice surprises over the weekend: I discovered a new flower on my biggest Christmas cactus!
And then I discovered buds on another Christmas cactus!
I guess they really like living in my office room (where I never turn on the heat). When I watered plants this morning I noticed even more buds on the one plant.
So, a good day to stay in. We don't even need to go grocery shopping tomorrow if we don't want to. Plenty of food in the freezer. I think today will be spent knitting and/or stitching, some reading and listening to the Unselected Journals of Emma M Lion and, perhaps, a little nap after lunch!
I hope everyone is warm and cozy and if you are in the midst of the storm or expecting it, stay safe!!
I hope everyone can stay home and safe and enjoy some yummy food today! We thankfully only got some light snow, most of which melted, but I know there's a lot coming down by you and along the East Coast. Let's hope this is the last gasp of winter!
