Ha! This draft never even made it to the blog. The first year ever to not post a "reflections" post on December 31st. I gave it a title and that was as far as I got.
That's okay. I think we all need a break from my long posts. I can get a bit "windy."
Mama Pea had me hankering for a wild rice/chicken soup, so the first thing I did was pull out my crock pot. I put in lots of garlic. Thanks for that idea by the way.
It's freezing cold here again. Brr! I wanted it to stay cold, and we got more than cold. Everything is frozen stiff. It took me several minutes to don Hubby's old full body carhartt, muck boots, thick gloves, hat, scarf and sunglasses. It was very bright out, but oh so cold. I managed to do all the outdoor stuff at once, including get the mail, and take the dogs out. Funny thing about the dogs. Jesse, the oldest one, loves to eat snow, so getting him back inside was a chore. Even with the temperature so cold.
Today, the wind will be less wicket and hopefully we'll see the temperature rise a bit.
What's on the breakfast plate? A dandelion green/jalapeno/garlic scramble. I needed the garlic and the jalapeno. And the dandelions. Oh, and I am still using up some home canned sweet potato butter (extra vitamins) on my homemade bread too. The tea was hot ginger tea (with freshly grated and sliced organic ginger). I crave hot ginger tea when I am congested. Then I switch it over to mullein/lemongrass or a mix.
Conversation funny from the day before:
Dad to Youngest, "You got all that snow shoveled already?"
Youngest laughing, "well I got the important stuff."
Ha ha! The younger two had to shovel snow for the first time this entire winter. We had a few tall drifts that had to be moved.
Yesterday I pulled out all the "stops" for killing off whatever I have. I took a hot soak with tea tree oil and eucalyptus oil, I made teas, and one infusion, took my mullein tincture, sipped water all day too, and even used a rosemary/oil chest rub. Between all of that, and the soup and breakfast, I'm feeling a wee bit better, but will take it easy again today. Thankfully, I have enough soup (and scramble) for today, and won't have to cook dinner.

Our forecast is for freezing rain starting tonight turning into snow around 2 a.m. What a mess that should make! Spring, wherefore art thou??
The cats went through their usual rigamarole of looking wistfully out windows at the sun shining, but as soon as they got to the open back door and saw how windy it was, they were content to stay inside tucked in their various blankets. We were pretty content to stay indoors too, when we didn't have to go to work that is.
It's suppose to warm up a bit and settle the wind some tomorrow. We'll see, won't we. LOL
Praying everyone's safe and warm.
God bless.
