for today

for today...

outside my window... 13F-7F, snow showers

i am thinking... my 'One Little Word' for 2018 will be

grounded [definition: sincere, practical, realistic]

i am thankful for... my woodstove

i am wearing... blue jeans, sweater/cardigan, bearpaw booties

i am going... outside to fill the bird feeders and replace the suet cakes,

carry in firewood, and that's it, until this frigid weather pattern breaks

i am currently reading... "The Farmer's Almanac"

i am hoping... that the snowplow doesn't crash into my new mailbox

on my mind... gas @ $2.85/gallon, milk @ $2.15/gallon, sugar @ $1.99/4 lb

pondering these words... "Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth,

for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is a time for home."

~ Edith Sitwell ~

from the kitchen... roast pork & sauerkraut dinner tonight, for Good Luck!

around the house... basil, cilantro & parsley seedlings on the sunporch

one of my favorite things... PBS, especially, Masterpiece Theatre/Mystery
and The Great British Baking Show

i'm creating... a Winter fb timeline cover & blog header

a few plans for the week...  firewood delivery; grocery shopping this weekend

from my lens:
