My girls picked me up this morning to go browsing in pretty shops. At first I thought I'd only be able to go to one but later I changed my mind and we went on to a second one. It was well worth getting tired.
Poinsettias come in new colours this year. There was even a blue one. I suppose if you were decorating in blue you'd choose that one.
Here's a picture from 17 years ago today. It was early for us to have such a heavy layer of snow but here I am pulling 3 year old C on the old sled.
Supper today will be green bean soup using beans that I froze last summer. As the soup simmers the house smells like Summer Savory . Along with the soup we'll have cheese bread. What's cooking in your kitchen?
Thanks for visiting
I didn't know they come in blue! Wow!
ReplyDeleteWe're finishing up the turkey soup, with salad, after a busy day of holiday preparations.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun time with your girls, and when you said blue poinsettia I did not think I would like it, but it is really beautiful. Where does the time go, we often ask ourself when we see our granddaughter.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you put in your green bean soup?
Not much has been cooking in our kitchen since Thanksgiving. Lots of leftovers and since I haven't been feeling well, just simple things. My sister had a December 28 wedding and she carried one dinner plate sized pure white poinsettia. It was gorgeous. I wore a green velvet gown and her maid of honor wore a cherry red velvet gown. One of my favorite weddings ever. Her 50th anniversary is this month. Mike died of cancer four years ago so Dennis and I are taking her out to dinner on their anniversary to celebrate. They had some hard times, but it was true love always.

A sweet memory indeed, of little C and the snow. I love all those poinsettias! I saw a bunch of beauties in the store today... if some are still around in a couple of weeks, I might buy one or two. But I'm not that ready yet.
