i'm serious about that blanket stuff... really serious. one of my early memories is when Mom needed something to cover the ironing board so she swiped my binkie and i remember laying on the floor under the ironing board and reaching up so i could feel my binkie. i'm still very much a binkie...

i did talk myself into eating something more substantial and perhaps a bit better for me. i had some leftover beans, and then i crunched up some corn chips that were leftover, put some cheese on top, melted it all together and then topped with plain yogurt and some hot sauce. for some reason...

clothes are just funny lookin' blankets. i am a long time follower of Linus the blanket master.

nice day out today, sunshine even... mid 40sF, calm winds. tonight a chance of rain. it's very strange to have the UFO out there again, it's so bright!

so far a few oranges and some corn chip crumbs and a bowl of potato soup which was more like a late lunch and early dinner. not sure what else i'll get into tonight but it is likely to be some form of sugar and crackers (jr. mints + buttery club crackers are in fact better than the girl scout...

wood makes you warm in at least thirteen ways. the trees shelter your house when they are growing, the cutting, splitting, stacking, hauling, removing ashes, spreading ashes, chasing ants and spiders, enjoying the flames, the smell of the wood and yes, the actual heat and ???

it just is, you deal with it and get on...

we definitely had a freeze here last night with temperatures getting down to the teens and wind chills down to 6F. at least now we're back to a warming period but we'll still have nights below freezing.

no kidding! like those days when you could actually sleep 12hrs... i guess we were storing them up for later. :)

i never need an excuse for having dessert first. :) leftovers often make a good breakfast for me too. it is ready and it is there. i had some coleslaw from yesterday left over so after this morning's tapioca pudding appetizer i finished it off and added some extra hot sauce, peanuts and...

now ya got me earwormed with _Heart of Gold_ except i change the first word to Pot... and i'm gettin' old... doo doo doo dah...

we didn't get too much snow here, it was more rain. a lot of people further north than us had a big storm so they need their power restored. we avoided that this time but it was cold enough last night and will not be very warm today either nor tonight. when i put the trash out yesterday i...

potato and ham soup again but first tapioca pudding while i was warming up the soup and doing the dishes.

me too, not that i can't use the exercise but i've been so busy the past few weeks with all sorts of other things that the time i'd have to use to shovel is a bit more tight than i'd like. glad tax season is now done and i can get back to beaning. :)

we had bean burritoes last night for dinner and Mom made more potato soup with and without ham to use up some ham, celery, carrots, potatoes, ... all good basic eats. :)

wow! congrats! :) i just sent my niece the link to backyard herds because they are planning on getting some goats for their place... i don't know if she will sign up or not but hope she will find whatever help she needs. :)

i aim to please, you aim too, please. :)

we've had some grackles here for about a week and a half now - the redwings normally show up at that same time.

we have very limited space for storage so i don't keep more than a few dozen cases at a time but it is also my closet for some clothes and also our pantry for baking supplies and other extras we can fit in there so it gets rather challenging. also when you consider you need extra space to store...

at least they have changed the forecast for snow for tonight and tomorrow so that it might not be that much after all. we'll see...
