Bits & Pieces

 We did not get any snow, I am so disappointed yet I hardly expected it,
we never seem to get what the weather people predict anymore.
There is a 75% chance of snow on Tuesday, the low temperature will be 25, the high 36.
I am not going to hold my breath.

I found this calendar online for $ 35.00 and I thought it was so me...
I also thought it was a tad expensive...and I had my 2025 calendar from Longwood Gardens.
I thought if I waited until the start of 2025, the price would be reduced, and I would buy it then.
No such luck. 
Still I wanted it and so I went ahead and ordered it.
I am not disappointed, it is lovely.
oh....and look at her business card, how sweet is that?!

The calendar is large, the pictures are beautiful, 
and it came with 2 sheets of stickers to memorialize the days that we complete suggested things.

Brooklyn Swenson's calendars, art work and pretty ornaments can be found here...
They are offering 20% off now...but of course!


I have finally ventured out to an eatery, our favorite sandwich shop,
The Beanery
This tree is located by the parking lot and is always decorated for the season or holiday.


The Paperwhites I planted on January 28th are starting to pop open...
here are the first few with lots more coming.

If you follow my blog you know the KC Chiefs are my team...
and unless you live on another planet, you know they lost the Super Bowl last night.
It was not our best game but I have to hand it to the Eagles, they are a great team.

Patrick has 3 Super Bowl rings from past seasons,
 he has worked hard and played extraordinary football for years.
I hope he is proud of that!

I have been trying to cook...

I made a double batch of Chicken Noodle Soup...
we ate half and I froze half.
I have to say it was the best Chicken Noodle Soup I have ever made.

I made a huge pot of beef stew Sunday night and I really enjoyed it.
I ate 1/2 bowl, I am still having trouble eating.

We will have the leftovers during the big snowstorm on Tuesday...
can the heavens please bring me some snow!!

I have been knitting a lot, I will share that tomorrow...
if you are not interested in knitting, please feel free to skip right over me.

I didn't watch the SuperBowl, but my husband did and was happy that the Eagles won since he was a long-time fan when we lived in southern NJ. But, he would also have been equally happy for a KC win because it's the kill and talent of the players he appreciates. The paper white bloom is lovely as is the bucket list calendar. We had snow over the weekend and wish I could send some to you!

That calendar is so cute. I can see where it would be a source of seasonal inspiration, especially for anyone with a creative mind.
We have not had hardly any snow this year either . . . none that actually stuck to the ground and stayed, but mainly only flurries.
We are having some very cold weather this week and hopefully it will do away with some of the spring and summer bugs in the garden. I am grateful that we had a very wet autumn, for our desert area, so that should be good for the wells.
Have a great week and God bless you and your family.
Happy blogging :)

First Christmas tree I've seen decorated in hearts and seashells! Sorry about those chiefs.

Those look like tasty and healthy soups. Keep getting stronger! Yes, we're sad about the Chiefs. Poor Patrick's strategy to get points in the last 2 minutes didn't work so well this time. (Prez left at half time, so his visit doesn't count.) Linda in Kansas

I went to bed before half time. Not a good game but the Eagles deserved the win!
