Delicious dinner!

I tried a new dish tonight. Didn't have a recipe, just some "healthy" stuff in the pantry. Whole wheat organic pasta, turkey sausage, roasted red peppers, asparagus, no sugar added pasta sauce, lots of spices, topped off with a little reggiano Parmesan cheese. Turned out great. Low in fat, carbs, calories, but loads of taste.




MMMMMMMMmmmmmmm!

Taking charge of the weather!

We had a beautiful day today. High in the 50s. Spring really wants to be here, but first...more snow. Forecast for the next couple of days calls for 3-5 inches of snow. So I decided to make my own "Personal Spring" right here, right now.
My Spring is about 4 ft wide and 6ft tall in the center. This afternoon with the sun shinning on it, the temp reached around 80 inside. I may just move in! Actually my plan is to get started on some seeds, since we really can't plant in the ground with sure safety from the frost until mid May. I just can't wait any longer. Today we built some rough shelves inside and tomorrow I go shopping for seeds!




Bede in his wellies outside looking in. He cut all the boards for the shelves inside my own "Personal Spring"...Thanks!


Toasty inside!

Everyone's enjoying the warm weather...



Spring tease


Unofficially hit 71 degrees today, at least on my front porch. I took this photo before we peeked!






We took a ride out to the lake. It's still frozen, but the weather was fantastic and the ice was melting.

Snowed in...AGAIN!


Snow, snow and more snow. With a bit of ice and lots of wind thrown in for good measure.
So today I stayed inside and created! My 1st attempt at mixed media collage. I used photos from a trip we took to Italy. Photo shopped them and then decoupaged them onto canvas. Added other decorative touches and paint...voila! I kind of like it. I think it will be an interesting way to display photos while adding color and interest as well. Now I am excited to get back to work at the thrift store to find all kinds of fun things to incorporate into my next one!
