The Good Day All Thread

Good, chilly morning to y'all! We woke up to 20 degrees, and three hours later the temperature has climbed all the way up to 24. This is NOT the Texas I moved to . . . .
Spending the day in the kitchen, making a ham/potato/cheese casserole, a pot of chili, and applesauce to have with the casserole. My husband is sitting on a kitchen stool visiting with me while I dance around the kitchen. We have carols going on the CD player, and we are warm, safe, and content. Who could ask for more (except warmer weather)?

 

Good Tuesday morning all. Currently -7°c and clear. It was a much nicer dog walk this morning.
Someone told me today was the 'bird count'. Not sure who or why, but I've been counting! So far just 7 black capped chickadees, 3 blue jays, 1 cardinal, 3 starlings, 1 finch, and one big ole crow. Darling daughter has a skating test today, so I get to pick her up early from school. She would rather skate than go to school any day haha They really don't do too much at school the last few days before the holidays anyway. Have a great day all

 

It doesn't matter who or why---it is an interesting thing to do.
Your bird counting is looking good so far.

 

Good Wednesday morning all. Currently -4°C and sunny. It was a lovely dog walk this morning, so still and quiet with just the sound of my footsteps in the snow and the birds chirping.
Daughter did very well at skaters test day and passed all 3 of her tests, now she can move up to the next level. Today, I am going to do some baking and make a final list for my shopping day tomorrow. Have a great day all

 

Good Friday morning all. Currently -2°C and clear. Yesterday was a very busy day, finishing up my shopping and starting my baking. Today, I need to do some banking, fill up the car with gas, and finish the baking and wrapping. It's almost here!!
Have a great day all

 

I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday as much as we did and are still enjoying (left-overs, y'know). Today we are going shopping for gift bags, ribbon, all the things we used up this year. We are also going to a shop that specializes in imports from around the world. I had to promise my husband I would not buy another Nativity. For some reason he things three dozen are enough . . . .
Have a good day, and rest up for New Year's Eve!

 

Good Tuesday morning all. Currently just 0°C and windy. It's been a busy week, and today I finally get to relax a little. Lots of left overs so I won't have to cook either.
I'm really feeling the difference in my body from all the sweet and rich foods I've been eating, and so today for breakfast I got out the juicer and made fresh juice from carrots, beets, orange, apple and lemon. Delicious! Definitely going to have to go on a diet in the new year - that's how long it will probably take to get rid of all the sweets in the house!
Have a great day all

 

Yall ever notice the older ya get the harder it is to recoup from a party? christmas day was wonderful temps in the 70'sF and I wore a red tee shirt with my santa hat Some of the nieghbor kids I watched grow up were back with their kids and it was a nice day. I picked several bags of citrus to share with them. After that I had a bit too much to drink sitting by the fire and am still moving slow..... Gotta get it in gear company is coming for new years.

 

We stopped by tractor suply for those of you not familiar its a old style hardware farm store. We get our Puppy food there. When I walked in it took a great deal of restraint they had a big line i the store lined on both sides by seeds. The force was strong and I resisted. .........barely

 

Good Wednesday morning all. Currently -3°C and lightly snowing. I had a good nights sleep, and fruit for breakfast today, but still feeling the effects of the last few days indulgence. Took the dog for a long walk, and heading out to the skating rink shortly for some exercise. Hopefully that will help.
I've only received 3 seed catalogs this year, but that should be plenty. No fear of any seed stands popping up around here for a few months yet.
Have a great day all

 

70F out but incredibly humid. nice day I am cleaning out my fry rig from Christmas and puttering around in the yard had 2 satsumas for lunch. Doing a few odds and ends with a very long project list. I love Peggys saying "Small steps for big feats"
