Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday!
We have 7 (C) foggy degrees with an expected mostly sunny high of 12 and 39% chance of afternoon showers.
All of the food prepared for Christmas dinner is eaten. I finished it off with supper last night.
We do have a whole, unopened tin of Pecan Meltaway cookies that I'm saving until Jason gets back home. I bought two tins of those this year and we gradually ate one as we worked our way through the beginning days of December, approaching Christmas. We also ate 16 dark chocolate covered cherries apiece, some holiday fudge, and a whole lot of lovely Italian chocolate sent by a friend as an early Christmas gift.
Breakfast was sausage biscuit sandwiches and some cheesy grits.
Looking toward the new year now.

hi! had a great Christmas eat too much hope you all had a great time0

Good morning all
Ed, wow, lots of celebrating!
Irene, glad you had a great Christmas!
Jo, hope you're getting some relaxing time.
I got my hair cut yesterday, so glad I found this hairdresser!
It's currently 54F, 12C, and raining. Cloudy with rain developing this afternoon. High 62F, 17C. Winds SSE at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 90%. Warm today, but will get cold by the end of the week.
Need to catch up with some things around the house and will see what else the day brings.
Wishing all a peaceful Sunday. ☕🌧️🕎🍷🕊️0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday!
We have 14 (C) cloudy degrees with an expected mostly sunny high of 17 and 18% chance of precipitation. The rain that had originally been expected for today seems to have come overnight. I was aware of thunder several times in the night and could hear the rain hitting the glass. At one point there was an incredibly loud crack of thunder that made me jump. I'm sure the cats were not happy with all the noise.
Of course, we have the new year coming up soon and all the fireworks that will come along with that!
Supper last night was cottage pie, and the rest of that will be lunch today. Breakfast was steak (tenderloin) and eggs, with buttered biscuits.
The dishwasher is running now and I'll be feeding the cats shortly.
After I finish my tea and coffee, I'll be heading out I guess for groceries.

hi everyone back from visit been super tired and trying to get back on track
take care0 -
good morning all
I hope everyone is still getting some time for rest and relaxation.
I made some baked pumpkin donuts yesterday. They were different, not bad, just not what you'd expect from a donut. 😂
I'm glad it's sunny today, and relatively warm, will see what the day brings.
It's currently 47F, 8C. Plentiful sunshine. High 56F, 13C.. Winds W at 10 to 20 mph.
Wishing all a bright shiny new week. ☕🌞🕎🌟🍷🕊️0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's magnificent Monday!
We have 8 (C) partly cloudy degrees with an expected mostly sunny high of 16 and 5% chance of precipitation.
I made pumpkin doughnuts once. They came out pretty well, and I drizzled them with cream cheese frosting. They were a hit at work, at the time, so I was in no danger of eating all of them.
Nothing critical on the agenda for today. Supper last night was a pizza from the freezer. Breakfast was a tenderloin steak and some crumpets with maple syrup. Lunch will be the leftover pizza.
My day of the week sense is all messed up by being on vacation with holidays. Monday doesn't really feel like Monday. Middle of the week major holidays feel like Sunday in the middle of the week so Tuesday feels like Saturday. LOL.

hi all,
I have never made donuts but pumpkin sounds .
hope you enjoy your evening0 -
good morning all
Last day of 2024!
Ed, my day of the week sense is messed up too! I love pumpkin spice anything, pretty much. Your donuts must have been delicious!
Irene, donuts are supposed to be fried, and they are probably better that way. Plus I make everything gluten free which can be a challenge.
It's currently 39F, 4C. Mostly sunny skies this morning will give way to occasional showers during the afternoon. Thunder possible. High 56F, 13C. Winds SE at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 50%. Supposed to be chillier, into freezing temps after today, so will enjoy the warmth while it's here.
We've got a dinner reservation for tonight at a new Italian restaurant in town that took the location of one of our old favorites. I'm sure it'll be nice.
Wishing all a fun and safe night, and a Happy New Year!

Howdy all y'all. It's... terrific Tuesday! (Had to think about that for a moment)
We have 15 (C) cloudy degrees with an expected partly cloudy high of 19 and 15% chance of precipitation.
The dishwasher is running, and I just gave my mail cast iron skillet a good scrubbing, after cooking the last (sob) beef tenderloin steak in the house for breakfast. I served it with buttered biscuits and two over-easy eggs.
I may take a nap today to see if that makes it easier to stay up to toast the new year in. I bought a small bottle of prosecco for that purpose but there is no rule that says I actually have to stay up to drink it at midnight! I could have mimosa or two with breakfast in the morning instead...
But, since they ALWAYS set off fireworks in the area to ring the new year in, I might as well stay up as they would wake me up anyway and I can try to calm the cats down if I'm already up.
Whew, I just now remembered to dig the ham hocks out of the deep freeze in the garage. They are now sitting in the refrigerator to thaw for tomorrow's pot of black-eyed peas. The jowl bacon is already in the refrigerator. I thought about buying fresh collard greens but decided cleaning, chopping, etc, is more trouble than I want to take so got frozen.
No special dessert. New Year's is all about the black-eyed peas, greens, and cornbread, which, all together, make a very nice, complete meal. My corn bread will be gluten free since I make it with only corn meal, no flour, for a nice, dense, crumbly cornbread. No sugar either!
Well, as I've been typing, the sun peeked out and I got a cup of coffee. Time to move on to other things!
I have to decide what to wear to the living room for New Year's Eve tonight.

I made the new year food for New Year's Eve and will be just warming up leftovers on New Year's Day. There is a crumbled slice of cornbread under the black-eyed pea soup and collard greens.

good morning all
Well, here it is 2025!
Ed, I hope your new years food brings you luck.
Jo and Irene, hope you had a fun New Year's Eve.
Our dinner out was nice. I had a glass of Washington State Riesling, and wild mushroom ravioli. Pete had broiled branzino filet. It was a treat.
It's currently 41F, 5C. A mix of clouds and sun with gusty winds. High near 45F, 7C. Winds WNW at 20 to 30 mph. Higher wind gusts possible.
Wishing you all a happy, healthy new year. ⛅☕🕎🍷🕊️0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday!
We have 5 (C - feels like 2) fair, mostly sunny degrees with an expected sunny high of 11 and 2% chance of precipitation.
I managed to stay up to toast in the new year, and then some as the fireworks were going hot and heavy for quite a while.
Having prosecco so close to going to bed, I woke up with a headache, but took some ipuprofen and a b-12 tablet, and it's mostly better now.
Nothing critical on the agenda for today. I've already had some leftovers for breakfast. More for lunch and probably supper. Maybe one more meal, but we'll see.
The dishwasher is running now.

Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday!
We have 0 (C - feels like -4) sunny degrees with an expected sunny high of 10 and 1% chance of precipitation.
Orion let my sleep until shortly after 8:00 but then insisted it was time to arise and face the day.
The cats are patiently (for the moment) waiting for their breakfast which is due at 9:30.
I suspect Dinah may be poking at me about that shortly.

Ed, glad you're feeling better and the cats let you sleep in a little.
Hi Jo and Irene.
We celebrated the 8th night of Chanukah last night with my 2 older grandchildren. It was fun.
I had an acupuncture appt this morning and our housecleaner is here. I'm doing some laundry.
It's currently 35F, 2C. Overcast skies and windy. Temps nearly steady in the mid to upper 30s, 2-4C. Winds WNW at 20 to 30 mph. Winds could occasionally gust over 40 mph.
I hope it doesn't snow too much on Monday because I have a rheumatology appt.
Wishing all a fine Thursday. ☕☁️❄️🍷🕊️0 -
good morning all
Getting ready to head out for an injection in my knee. The acupuncture helped a little yesterday.
It's currently 26F, -3C. Cloudy with snow developing late. High 38F, 3C. Winds WSW at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of snow 70%.
Wishing you all an easy Friday. ☕☁️❄️🌨️🍷🕊️0 -
Good morning and Happy New Year
I have had a cold since coming back from vacation. I managed to go to work, but spent the
remainder of my time lying on the sofa and drinking lots of hot lemon water with honey.
It is currently 31F with a high of 37F and a mixture of sun and clouds.
Have a good day!
