...Sweatah Weathah...continues

Definitely sweater..coat..mitts ..boots weather.

I confess I LOVE it.

I love having seasons:)

A season to receive seeds and plan ahead:)

My inspiration to get out there on my own..is to forge a path to the generator.

J makes beautiful winter paths around our home.. but to get from  the side (where the tanks and generator are)..to the front of the road.. where the propane company comes..they need a path.. it is easier for me to do it on snowshoes.. so I do that back and forth  twice,to make a good one..then from the back of our home  to the trails I love so much.. It is exhilarating.

We are in the country with century old trees..if the winds howl..or freezing rain hits us..or heavy heavy snow..we can lose power..

Thus the generator.It took us 20 yrs to get a whole house one.We always used one that J had to get out.. get everything hooked up..fill with gas..  I said..Oh let's just do it. A wonderful feeling of security for a septuagenarian and an octogenarian:)

My people continue to become short stories..Good practice for me..

Auguste was skiing to work in Montreal this week:)

A good time to make bake and freeze cheddar cheese coins..I have a few recipes I love ..my first foray must have been 40 yrs ago ..they had rice krispies in them:) I make some from past virtual friends that are now gone:(. And these from America's Test kitchen ..Google and ye shall find:)Many bloggers have added the recipe..

I am not sure what the copywright is so I leave you to find:)I hope you don't mind..

My fave pastry mat is the Oxo oh so flexible one..that is so easy to clean..love it..and these new little gadgets that come in a set of various sizes.. We mark our spacing.What a neat neat thing to have.

If you are a baker.. seeds..if you are a gardener.Paints and paper if you like to paint:)

A camera ..if you like to take pics;)

I am reeling in gloom sporadically in my mind with everything going on.

The fires..the crashes.. the economy.

I keep busy to focus on other things..even reading does not distract me enough.I have to be moving about. here..but keeping busy.

Pretty sure many of you.. Stay awake at times..With concerns...

Have a good weekend.
