Today is a busy day.
It's my daughters 37th birthday.
So I'll be making her a birthday dinner that she can take home after she picks up the kids.
Homemade Vegetable Tortillini Soup
Homemade Skillet Bread
Homemade Cherry Crisp
It's also Friday which means scrambled eggs and toast and bacon for the grandkids for breakfast.
It's also bathroom cleaning day, changing our bedsheets and catching up on laundry.
I need to salt the front sidewalks which are very icy and I'll need to check the dryer vent and furnace exhaust to make sure they aren't buried under a snow drift next to the house.
The snow is almost 3 feet deep in our backyard so I have started a Squirrel feed box.
I watched as one Squirrel tried to climb down the tree into the snow and as soon as it's little paw hit the snowbank and sunk, it quickly turned around and scrambled back up the tree.
So I'll need to check on that Squirrel box too.
I keep it loaded up with peanut butter crackers, sliced apples, sliced oranges, and sunflower seeds.
The bird feeder looks frozen solid so I better check that out while I'm out there.
Feeling like a real pioneer wife today...lots to do on the homestead.
Except that I don't have to chop wood or break the ice in the river to heat and make water, you know...like those folks in Texas. (too soon, eh? sorry)
Don't mean to be flip. I laugh and crack wise to alleviate my anxiety.
Hope Dan Tucker brings home something good for supper.
Thanks for reading,
Love, Lolly
