I got so busy yesterday that I simply spaced doing my blog. Between very windy, cloudy/sunny, cold and iffy weather and being excited because my great granddaughter is coming to spend the weekend with us, I simply spaced the blog. So today, it is now mostly cloudy, a bit windy, cold, 49 degrees at 2:59 p.m. For the most part, I am ready for Tevia to arrive, and am so looking forward to spending time with her and catching up on all her activities, her Pretty ducks, and all that goes on out at the farm.
I understand, from her mom, that things aren’t anywhere near getting back to normal after Helene’s terrible rains and flooding as well as the high winds, but at least they have electricity and a house to live in, which is a lot more then many folks who were stricken by that devastating storm. She said that the animals were doing O.K., but that she was only getting one egg a day as so many of her laying hens hadn’t recouped from the stress of the storm. I believe the animals suffered as much as the humans. I am just thankful that they are doing O.K. even if it will take months to get all the trees cut up and moved. they were blocked in by fallen trees.
Here, we have had rain and cold, but no snow. Yesterday morning when I woke up, the a frame roof was solid white with frost, as was the neighboring roofs, the grass, the trees, etc. It was so pretty. There were a few towns in Tennessee that woke up to snow this morning but here we just had rain. Snow would of been nice, I think. There wasn’t a great deal, maybe a couple of inches in different towns, but it made such pretty pictures on the morning news.
Outside of housework, I haven’t done anything exciting. I went through four recipes boxes and found some interesting and easy recipes that my mom had cut out of newspapers and magazines, so I made one of them last evening. It was good, but needed more spice. It also called for frozen veggies, and I believe I should of thawed them out some and blotted them prior to added them to the pan. They were a bit mushy according to Tina. I didn’t mind it but then , my taste buds are different then hers. I will make it again one day and do it a bit different. With a little re-do, I think it is a keeper.
Quote of the day: “It does not so much matter what happens. It is what one does when it happens that really counts.” Laura Ingalls Wilder, 1867 -1957. American Children’s Writer.
Speaking of book and reading, I am reading Chuck Norris’s biography. It is really good. I seldom read biographies as it is usually not that interesting. Chuck Norris is a Christian and the book is good, clean, interesting and full of Marshall Arts.
For my friends in California, what is your weather like? are you having effects from the weather bomb of day before yesterday? Are you safe? All are in my prayers.
I had better sign off. I was told that my guest would like spaghetti for dinner, so must get busy. I am so thankful that I have some in the freezer, so will get it heating slowly and I will have it made.
Have a great rest of your Friday, and a wonderful, fun filled, safe, warm, dry and relaxing weekend.
Blessings
