The Simple Woman's Daybook . . .

 

 

FOR TODAY, January 25, 2022

Outside my window ...

Its very cold (-7) and snow is falling. I am supposed to take Cinnamon for her Post-op check up this morning, but I am not sure I will get there.  I think I will phone and see if I can't just send a photograph like I did with Nutmeg. She is eating well, playing well and everything looks fine at the operation site.

I am thinking ...

It might be a soup day.  We shall see how the day progresses.

I am thankful for ...

Faith, family and friends. I am a very blessed woman.  Very blessed.

In the kitchen ... 

 

Quick and Easy Baked Chicken Tacos. These are so simple to make and can be on the table in 20 minutes, including prep time. I topped mine with some sour cream, chopped spring onion, chopped tomato and diced avocado. How will you enjoy yours?   

On my "To Cook" list ... 

Vikalink   Creamy Orzo Pasta with Roasted Butternut Squash. This looks fabulously tasty! 

Good to know ... 

Musely.  How to make your own foaming hand wash.

I am wanting to create ... 

 

Christmas Notebook.  How to create putz houses from old Christmas cards. Cute and easy. A complete tutorial.

 

Brenda Walton. Heart Pockets.  Cute! Pretty much Inspo only though.

Sweet Bee Crochet.  Mini pouches to crochet.

5 Little Monsters   Diagonal Weave Crochet Dishcloths 

 

I cannot find the source for this one, but I think it is beautiful.

I am reading ... 

The Road from Gap Creek, by Robert Morgan

This is the sequel to a book I read late last year by the same author called Gap Creek.

This sequel to "Gap Creek" tells the story of Julie and Hank's marriage years after they moved away from Gap Creek. They are now the parents of four grown (or nearly grown) children, and the life they live is based in large part on what they can raise and grow on their farm in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. 

Taking place in the 1920s and '30s, the story of this one family serves a microcosm of the larger events taking place in the country and the world . . . from the booming '20s to deadly epidemics, from the Depression to World War II. While they are dirt poor, they are rich in love, and that is what makes this story just bloom. Writing in the vernacular of the time and place, author Robert Morgan has created a tale that rings true and authentic.  

I am really enjoying this book.

These two. It never stops.  The joy.  They keep me hopping!
