I have a big pot of chocolate almond bark melting so I can dip the peanut butter balls, ritz crackers with peanut butter and pretzels. The peanut butter balls and ritz crackers are all ready. Just need the almond bark to finish melting down.
It has been a misty, foggy wet day on the prairie. I woke up to a winter wonderland this morning. The freezing fog had put a layer of ice on everything. It was beautiful and I was ever so grateful I didn’t have to go anywhere today. By the time I had to walk down to the chickens this afternoon the ice had melted and it was a muddy walk, but not a slick one.
As the sun is setting today the fog is increasing and the temperature is dropping again so am thinking we will wake up to another winter wonderland tomorrow. I don’t have to go anywhere tomorrow either so I will sit in my chair and enjoy the beauty.
I noticed on Facebook last night that many around here were seeing the Northern lights. I went out but I was too late to see them. There was a slight red glow on the horizon but the main deal had faded by the time I went out. Dang it anyways!
The post office wouldn’t accept the bulk mailing today so will take it in Monday late morning. It will be good to get it off the dining room table.. I always feel like I got something done when I send the mailing off. It was nice to have lots of help for this one. It went together quickly with five of us working on it.
Hoping tomorrow will be sunny so I can make another batch of fudge and peanut brittle. It will be good to have my Christmas treats made and crossed off my to-do list. I’m still waiting on two more packages to arrive and then I think I am ready for next Saturday. I will make a cheesecake Friday but that will be easy and won’t take long.
I looked at ordering some shades for the two bedroom windows. Yikes they are expensive. I need to go to a store and look and what I am going to order. I can’t tell exactly what they will look like by looking at the on-line site. As much as they cost, I don’t want to order something I won’t like. I have lots of them to order as I will also need shades for the bathrooms, living room and dining room. I might need them for the patio doors in the office. Wish I could find someone that would come to the house to measure and show me samples so I knew what I was ordering was exactly what I want. The new windows don’t have the built-in shades like the ones I have up have. I never liked those shades as they were hard to get to go up and down and were always crooked which drove me crazy.
My chocolate is melted so best go get that job done.
Grateful the chocolate project is almost done. Grateful I got to stay home today and not have to get out on icy roads, and grateful for the beauty of the prairie this morning.
