for today

for today...
outside my window... 9F/clear @ 7:05pm
i am thinking... the Olympics have been awesome!
i am thankful for... my friend, Barb 💗 who is slowly recovering from a debilitating fall 💗
i am wearing... blue jeans, thermal shirt & fleece hoodie, sherpa-lined ankle boots
i am going...  to the Hardware Store
i am currently reading...  seed catalogs
i am hoping... to have the new water pump installed, and finally... running water
on my mind... gas @ $3.99/gallon, milk @ $3.99/gallon, butter @ $2.99/lb
pondering these words...
"some-one painted pictures on my
windowpane last night...
willow trees with trailing boughs
and flowers, frosty white,
and lovely crystal butterflies...
but when the morning sun
touched them with its golden beams,
they vanished one by one."
~ Helen Bayley Davis, Jack Frost ~
from the kitchen...
French Toast with Maple Cream, and Breakfast Sausages
Philly Cheesesteaks
Boston Cream Pie 
around the house... plumbing supplies, firewood, and a lot of dishes to wash
one of my favorite things...  a Valentine's Pocket Card from Katie Pertiet

a few plans for the week... plumbing!
