Good Morning!
Pretty chilly here (11 when I looked at my phone earlier), but not as cold as Boulder, CO. My brother texted me that it was -7 at his house yesterday morning!
So, what has been happening? I was at the King of Prussia Mall twice in the past 4 days. This is a place I have not been to for at least a decade!! But, necessity demanded a visit. I (finally) got an iPhone and needed to pick it up at the Apple Store. Then we ditched cable on Friday but could not get our TV hooked up to our new internet (we had to upgrade that...of course...), so we bought an AppleTV to hook up and that seems to be working. Eliminating cable has not saved us very much $$$ (we are now streaming Hulu plus live TV) because our internet fee went from $35 to $100. It's all a game and I don't enjoy playing it at all. Bottom line: I hope I don't need to go back to the mall...ever...!!
Then on Saturday mid-day, I received a text from our neighbor Rob with this picture:
Fresh out of the oven and he wanted to know if we wanted one. They are either round loaves or gigantic rolls! LOL. And they are a combination of sourdough, rye and whole wheat. I replied "you bet" and within 5 minutes Rob was walking into our house with one of these beauties. We ended up having part of it last night with bowls of chili and it is delicious!
(For those of you who have read "The Serviceberry" by Robin Wall Kimmerer, Rob's sharing reminded me of that book.)
Sunday started off chilly and damp feeling. We were expecting a "big" snow and it finally started around 11 a.m. and continued to snow most of the day.
We ended up with maybe 3" or so...maybe a little more (I did not go out to measure). You can see in the bottom left of the photo where Fletch had shoveled a path out to our bird feeder hanging on the clothesline. Gotta keep our avian friends well fed in this weather! Our temps are forecast to dip into the single digits overnight for the next 3 nights or so.
My plan for today is to stay inside and do some knitting and stitching, some reading and perhaps a little napping. If I get motivated or ambitious, I may try to do something with my recipes (organizing would be a good idea) or my knitting and stitching supplies. Sometimes it is easier to just close my eyes and mumble "another day."
Please stay warm if you are in the path of this deep freeze. We have food to keep us going for days which is a nice feeling!
