It’s Here

It’s here and I don’t mean the snow that is to come.  Nephew Brett unloaded a huge bag of what Stash of battinghe said was scraps of batting.  Dennis went through the bag and I know I can and will be patching pieces together for some time to come.  Quilting is all about perspective and patience.  I have both of those nailed.  

Right now it is 38 sunny degrees and we are prepared for what they say is coming.  They have been mistaken in the past.  We can only hope.  The front yard is totally free of snow as is the backyard.  Surprisingly all four cats are in the patio porch.  It is said that animals know better how to prepare for weather than humans.

I have a huge kettle of soup on the burner.  Dennis came home from the Korean Veterans luncheon last month and commented on the hamburger sauerkraut soup he had had. Well . . . it is now on low heat simmering.  Time will tell.  I added some sautéed celery and sautéed yellow bell pepper, balsamic vinegar, black pepper and beef stock.  When Dennis gets up from his nap, he will no doubt give it a taste test and we will doctor it up from there.  

Hmm . . . the sky to the southwest looks a bit different than the sky to the northwest.  It is a wait and see type of evening that we will have.
