This image was just the warm, homey inspiration I was hoping for today. The sentiments is equally appropriate. Work went really well. It was comfortable indoors and lots of restaurant and station visitors kept Teresa and me busy. The day went by quickly.
When Handsome picked me up it was 4ºF. Not my idea of fun at all. Carly had a late vet appointment for a checkup, so we went from work right to the vet's office. We didn't get home until 7 pm, and I was chilled to the bone.
Turkey soup to the rescue! I changed into a pair of comfortable (and warm) sweats and heated up a jar of the soup I just canned. I added an equal amount of turkey broth, and then a bit more water. Paired with warm dinner rolls (I brought some home from the station), and we were full in no time. Top that off with a hot cuppa tea, and I was one happy, toasty warm girl.
I have to go back outdoors to get a few things at the grocery store this morning. Paper products, more all purpose flour, and just a couple other things. Once I do that I'll be raring to get back home. Then, my plan is to spend a little time working on my brooches.
I hope you have something planned that brings you joy. When the weather is like this, keeping busy (as much as possible) indoors is just the ticket. Take care and I'll be back again tomorrow.
LOL! My husband asked me, as he headed out the door to work this morning, if I had anywhere I needed to go today. Thankfully no! Home is my happy place, too! It's even happier when I get to spend it in my sewing/craft room...and not the office. I really like the image you selected: all those plants, wood, and twinkle lights appeal to me.
ReplyDeleteHi Lois:
DeleteI'm with you! I had planned to get a few groceries today, and quickly changed plans when I saw the temperature outside. Instead, I did a little filing in my office (mostly tossing papers I don't need to keep), and then stitched. I'm with you, everything about this photograph appealed to me. Stay warm, dear.
Hugs,

That's a beautiful picture & sentiment.
ReplyDeleteGlad work went well.
Soup is a comfort food right now.
I wish these cold temps would go away.
I only go out to appointments, tomorrow I go back to the Ortho for stitches out & xrays.

Hi Marilyn:
DeleteI'm with you. The photo makes me happy. It looks warm and inviting. I also wish the cold would go away. I'm over it! Safe travels to your appointment, and I hope you're continuing to improve, dear.
Healing Hugs,

Had to go out yesterday and by the time I got home I was more than glad to change into warm duds and cuddle beneath my blanket. Have to go out again tomorrow and I'm not looking forward to it one bit.
ReplyDeleteHi MA:
DeleteWhen it's like this I chill right to the bone. I've even put the heating pad under my feet in bed, because I can't seem to warm up otherwise. If my feet are cold, so is the rest of me. You'll be in my thoughts as you venture out. Stay safe, dear.
Warm Hugs,
xoxo

Sherryofcreateology: Today is all about errands but our weather is sunny and wonderful. We will be short our snowfall and rain totals though. Your turkey soup was just what you needed to take the chill off your bones. May you have glorious hours of hand stitching dear. Blessings…
ReplyDeleteHi Sherry:
DeleteI'm glad someone is enjoying warm weather. At least we're sunny, so that's a plus. I know I should be working on my ATCs for January, but I'd rather stitch right now. I'll probably work on them this weekend. Blessings to you, too, dear.
Hugs,
xoxo

Beautiful sentiment.
ReplyDeleteAnother great day in the books.

Hi Shirley:
DeleteI think so, too, dear. Looking at this image just makes me all snuggly and happy. You're so right. It was a great day. Wishing you the same!
