This year may go on record as being the coldest of my lifetime, and as a born and bred Texas girl, I'm not complaining! We've had five rounds of snow since early December which has kept our land almost consistently white! Even today they are calling for a few more inches, and then they say the snow pattern will stop for awhile. Other than the difficulty it presents in getting our car up and down our very steep gravel driveway, I've loved every minute of it!
Something about having snow on the ground has made me reluctant to take the Christmas decorations down, but I finally began that in earnest this week. I've been slowly moving pieces into the guest bedroom until we could get the storage boxes from the attic without risking hypothermia! At this point we'll have to push through, because I have to get it packed away before Saturday as our daughter and her husband are coming in for the Super Bowl. I'm honestly not a football fan, quite the opposite, really, but the Super Bowl makes it worth it for me because of the commercials, and the food!
Since we haven't been able to get out much it's necessitated eating what we have on hand, which thankfully, has been plenty! I've really enjoyed the creativity of it, and plan to continue on for as long as the larder sustains me. I've got a package of 4 chicken breasts that I plan to divide up and see if I can come up with four different meals. Since my husband is on a very strict diet, I'm only feeding myself these days so one chicken breast is typically plenty to make a meal. I'll share the results with you here, if that sort of thing interests you.
And now before I sign off, I thought I would leave you with this cute little poem I came across on Pinterest just yesterday! I've been much more intentional with my Commonplace book of late, which I suppose being stuck at home will do for you! If you keep a commonplace book, perhaps this little poem will suit you too!
