Bits and Pieces

Good morning my blog world readers.  The cold weather is still lingering, to remind us that winter is not over just yet. 

Happy Valentine's Day!  Hard to believe we are at mid-February already.

Each trip upstairs, I try to pull open craft drawers, and pick anything that needs to be donated.  It feels good to get things organized again, after all these repairs/renovations.  

I'm being pretty successful at purging books.  Funny story.  I was reading a book and realized I had already read it.  I then went to flip through my book journal, and found not only did I read it, but I read two books that my Mom had given me (obviously books I had read, and gave to her).  I had read one in 2004 and the other in 2007.   Those are going to be passed on to a sibling.

I'll be doing better at rotating books out, as they come in. 

I've been busy in the kitchen, more than other work lately.  Pumpkin Oat Breakfast bake.  I love this too!  Not only does it use up that delicious frozen pumpkin puree from the garden, but it's a one bowl mix recipe.  I'll be making some more egg/sausage and cheese cups to go with it.

I also took some blueberries and strawberries out of the freezer to thaw for future dishes.  I have more butternut squash in the freezer I need to use up too.  Not sure what for yet.  

The first recipient (senior center trivia winner, who receives meals on wheels) of one of my crocheted lap afghans and jar openers this winter.  I'm so glad I can make someone happy, and comfortable.
