for today

for today...

outside my window... 24F/snow showers @ 1:35am

i am thinking... starting today. I need to forget what's gone, appreciate what still remains,

and look forward to what's coming next!  Happy New Year!

i am thankful for... the recent repair of the pipes under the kitchen sink

i am wearing... blue jeans, thermal shirt & hoodie, cashmere socks & BearPaw ankle boots

i am going...  grocery shopping

i am currently reading... The Soul of America: The Battle for Our Better Angels, by Jon Meacham 

i am hoping... to live video stream The Mummer's Parade today

on my mind... gas @ $2.84/gallon, milk @ $3.85/gallon, butter @ $2.99/lb

pondering these words...

"Whose woods these are I think I know.

His house is in the village though;

He will not see me stopping here

To watch his woods fill up with snow."

~ Robert Frost, Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening ~

from the kitchen... 

country ham

spinach puffs

panettone & pizelles

snickerdoodle shortbread

around the house... poinsettias & pinecones

one of my favorite things...  hoppin' john

i'm creating... the January Challenges @ The Lilypad

MOC8, Month of Challenges, 31 days, 31 challenges

a few plans for the week... firewood delivery, run a few errands

from my lens:

no, I am not climbing out the 2nd story window

to clean the snow off of the satellite dish!

there will be no internet 'til the snow melts

* winter... sigh *
