Winter has returned

















Wednesdays Dinner-a nice break from leftover HAM!




















Well, this Swiss Chard and Asparagus stirfry did have some of the aforementioned LEFTOVER HAM!


YES! It is snowing AND blowing and it feels much more like October than April. I used to love the saying "April showers bring May flowers" although growing up in Tok that had NO MEANING what-so-ever. But, the idea is so lovely, don't you think? We did have purple crocuses that would peek through the snow but they were few and far between.

None of this matters when today--it is winter again! I wanted to curl back into bed, watch a little odd TV-- Tales from the Darkside or The Outer Limits. My kids think these are just the creepiest shows but I think they are sooo fun!! Nothing like a little dark TV first thing in the morning. But, darker still is the fact that I got out of bed, threw on my favorite yoga pants, and after LULU's drive-thru made it to work with moments to spare.

My puppies are behaving poorly. I have a heavy heart (much like I did when my children were up to no good-this means you BLAISE!!) when I say that my puppy (Abby) peed on my bed last night. I accused Jeff of this misdeed but he wasn't going for it. I hate to be the bad guy but she got a prompt spanking (one little rap on the bottom) and got sent to the dining room for the rest of the night. She is a tough read-her little face always looks very contrite so either she feels very bad about it or is just kinda laughing in her own little cross-eyed way-maybe even giving me a little middle finger action in her own little MIND!

  1. I think you take wonderful foodie pictures! And those shrimp made me drool..wow.
    Glad you stopped by to "visit" Duvall. He wintered very well, is sassy and happy, and loads of fun. He's so goofy, deciding on a new thing to spook at each day, but he just needs to get out and about and learn to relax..and forget he's an Arab. Ha ha. We sure do LOVE him!!
