Today on Shady Lane

   Well today we are expecting rain ( or freezing rain) so that doesn't sound too good.  But so far there is no rain/freezing  rain or snow as of yet.  Yesterday there was snow  in the morning but thank goodness it finally stopped. 

   The school bus went past so I guess they  did not have a delay or anything .  We were not busy at the Library last night, but I did not expect we would be. 

 

 

 

This is a personalized wedding pillow that I made  for young friends  whom got married last  summer.  Let me know if  you are interested !  I do these to order with  names and colors to match  the couples  room colors. It makes a wonderful gift!

Snowing Again!!

 Here on Shady Lane, It is snowing , again!  The birds and squirrels were out again this morning. The squirrel did not get much.

  Yesterday I made Minestrone Soup  which I had wanted to do for a while.  I followed a recipe but then of course , made a few changes.   I use our own tomatoes sauce which was free . We got the tomatoes at the end of the summer at a farm stand. The man said he could not sell them , But we found enough to make 5 jars of tomato sauce.

  The recipe was in in All You  magazine- I did not use kale or escarole ( that was the only item I did not have) I did use some cabbage that I cut up finely- It was the cheapest green I could find.
 So now we have soup for the week for lunches or light dinners, The recipe said it serves six . We got two containers  so I think it will be more like 8 servings.  And the cost was--  around $3.00 total.

More Snow!

   It is the Saturday after the big storm- and it is snowing again!  Bob just went out for a walk in the snow-He said it was quite . We are expecting another 3 to 5 inches. Our front yard looks like the Arctic!
 We are going to church today to have our first of  our monthly luncheon   for anyone who wants to come.
  It will be from 12 to  1 at St. Francis Xavier. I will report on how it went.  
    In North East Pa where we live this has been a very snowy and cold winter- more so than many years !
