for today

for today...

outside my window... 14F-7F, snow showers

i am thinking... February 14th remains one of my least favorite days of the year

i am thankful for... bourbon on a cold winter's night

i am wearing... slate gray leggings, soft gray cashmere sweater set, argyle socks & bearpaw booties

i am going... out for breakfast with my friend, Barb... and do a little shopping while in town

i am currently reading... the latest edition of "All Recipes" magazine

i am hoping...  Punxsutawney Phil doesn't see his shadow on 2/2

on my mind... gas @ $2.99/gallon, milk @ $2.05/gallon, butter @ $2.99/lb

pondering these words... "February, when the days of winter seem endless,

and no amount of wistful recollecting can bring back any air of summer."

~ Shirley Jackson, Raising Demons ~

from the kitchen... pizza souffle

around the house... seed catalogs

one of my favorite things... using my 'Cabin in the Woods' dishes during the winter months

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

a few plans for the week...  stack firewood; shovel snow *sigh*
and the Philadelphia Eagles are playing against the NE Patriots on Super Bowl Sunday
Fly Eagles Fly!!!

from my lens:

you can join the simple woman's daybook where every day is a blank page,

and participate in creating a list of the simple things and everyday moments of our daily lives.
