I find myself hanging around at the computer a little longer in the mornings, as winter rolls along. That's okay too. Winter is my time to relax a bit more, but I have neglected some housework too.
I delivered the last scarf order to the big city, but need to go back to collect the cash. Now, I am working on another order that my youngest daughter got me. Photos to follow soon.
Hubby, as he walked in the house:
"Hun! The library wants to know if you are sick?"
Me:
"Huh?"
Hubby:
"Yeah, there is only one book in for you and it's normal."
Ha ha ha ha ha! True!
Not sure if I'll get to read it before it's due back. Like all the other books I've borrowed, ha ha! Photo to follow soon.
I finished up a few more Christmas goodies, including a new recipe:
Macadamia Peanut Brittle. It tastes like caramel corn, but very good. This recipe is a stove top recipe, and the mixture is then poured onto the pan to cool.

Wear it out,

I'm joining up with Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom today. Although I posted already today (go back one post to catch up on), I need to stay on track, and making a list will help.

Leftover fried potatoes, gravy with homemade sausage, homemade biscuits and home raised eggs (photo from yesterday). Homemade yogurt will be my lunch with this lumber-jack breakfast (again).
Right now I am . . .
Heading out to do hen chores and empty ash bucket.
The weather outside . . .
Wow, warmer and in the lower 40's. Although cloudy, the warmer temps are much welcomed.
Looking around the house . . .
I see I need to tidy up and wash a few tablecloths.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7New International Version (NIV)
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
