First Post

Good morning! We were watching an ice storm outside our window yesterday... The cars and Road crews are still crawling along, but the worst may be over. I just hope we keep our power. One thing I really miss would be the real fireplace my dad used to keep through the winter. It was such a secure feeling, despite the dirt and the never-ending trips to his gigantic woodpile. He loaded up the long back porch with inside cords of cut wood and he had a giant reserve woodpile farther out for replenishing when he caught a warm afternoon. We have four burners atop our gas stove for backup heat and questionable pieces of equipment here and there that might be accessible in case of power outages. It is the time of year when I forgive the power company for taking their huge aerial chainsaws and butchering the forests... lol... 

New Year's Eve I made keto crustless quiche (Bacon, cheddar, spinach and onion)... We had all kinds of keto snacks and a charcuterie for the evening meal... Then today I made Pioneer Woman Cowboy chili (I miss the beans) and chocolate chip peanut butter keto mug cake. 

I did not get my projects started yesterday, but if I get to bed here in a little bit, tomorrow will be better for that. Today was a dark one... Good for snoozing, movies, and planning...  2021 is here. 

The only way out is through.

Take care!

Whimsy and Hugs!
