Hello! It's a cold afternoon in Northeast Wisconsin. We got about 6 inches of snow Thursday and now it's bitterly cold. The snow is here for a while. It's time to just stay inside and enjoy some of the inside things I like to do. Currently I'm reading Belonging. It is a fascinating book about finding out who you are. The illustrations and the way the book is put together is really interesting. I don't know if reading it on a Kindle would do it justice. I've also been cooking a lot, knitting and working on my art. I'm also blessed to have a treadmill so I've been watching Brigerton while I'm on the treadmill.
Speaking of snow I took this picture before our extra 6 inches came down. I love the sun setting in the distance.
A few days later, 4 pm
5 pm - I love how the light changes.
I'm working on growing more plants. Greenery is so good to have around the house. These are grapefruit seeds. I need to get them in some potting soil pretty soon.
My sister-in-law gave us this grow pod, yummy fresh herbs in the winter.
As I said, I've been working on more art. Watercolors inspired from a walk.
I might do more of this, make it into a whole word or on a different medium.
Of course some good food. Italian quinoa soup. I used black beans and veggies I had in the freezer and fridge and less cream. You could make this vegan, by subbing plant milk and nutritional yeast.
Also so proud of this breakfast: local eggs, topped with local micro greens, homemade cracked wheat toast topped with raspberry jam from local berries, (not local peanut butter -but no sugar) and peaches I canned last year from Tree Ripe Citrus.
And what could be better than a filet mignon with a red wine sauce, mashed potatoes and broccoli and a Spanish red on a a cold night.
I hope you have wonderful week and find ways to bring joy and creativity into your life.
As always with love from the Midwest,
Beth
