It Still Works

This was a red letter day.  No snow to move.  No doorways to shovel out.  In fact, yesterday I took the leaf blower out through the east patio door and blew down to bare concrete is several places of the patio.  I no more than had the blower unplugged and Honey Bunny was out on the bare concrete rolling.  She has always enjoyed rolling on the aggregate rock patio.  She gets a good massage.  There won’t be that chance tomorrow.  

Realizing that today would have been a good day to go to the grocery . . . I checked . . . nothing was needed.  Some frozen selections of Birds Eye Steam-Fresh items landed into my grocery cart last week.  They are labeled “Protein Blends.”  For Noon I had the California Style.  It was a dish with whole grains, lentils, peas, broccoli and shelled edamame . . . another name for soybeans.  Garlic sauce made it very tasty and satisfying.  I have the Southwest Style left in the freezer for another day. It would resemble a taco in a bowl.  No!  Dennis would have none of this for a meal. 

With the impending return of my ole cowboy,  The coffee pot had a good healthy dose of vinegar run through it, followed my several pots of clear water.  Hot tea has been my beverage of choice since Dennis left on the 3rd of February.  It surely hasn’t changed my energy level compared to coffee.  There has been enough snow moved by Grammie in the last two weeks to make many, many snow forts.  There is 5-9 inches forecast for tonight and tomorrow. It doesn’t even seem that daunting anymore.  Just another day on Stauffer Avenue.

As I felt I had a day off from the great outdoors, the sewing studio lights went on.  For me, five days of not hitting the power button on the Bernina is rare.  It still works, it powered right up.  The sewing studio most likely will be my hideout for most of tomorrow.   My hope is that everyone stays safe during snowstorms.
