Therefore, my husband and I went outside and walked down to the creek, we simply wanted to be out in the magical world of large snowflakes and wintry beauty. I restocked the bird feeders while I was already bundled up and came back inside to sit by the fire with a mug of hot tea. It is not expected to amount to much and the weather report informs us it will turn to rain and more icy conditions by tomorrow morning. But right now we are loving it to the uttermost!
I made two soups yesterday, a vegetable beef and a sausage and kale. I actually need some more kale to add and we were planning on stopping by the garden to pick some before we walked through the woods but the joy of the moment made us somewhat distracted. I told my husband I have some kale I froze last year that is in the freezer in the shed. But we are thinking about going out again before it is dark to pick a mess.
He spreads the snow like wool and scatters the frost like ashes.

For all my northern blogger friends who experience snow often in the winter, I would love to hear your thoughts on a first snowfall.

....Just beautiful. I restocked my bird feeders yesterday before the front came today...I'm watching out my window, as it's trying to make it's mind up. It's definitely colder and my hens are grazing but will soon be back in their safe coop and locked up with blankets on roof over covered windows and heat lamps on. I love soups too, I made a veggie Italian creamie with almond milk type soup with spinach and my special tofu bites. I put lots of onions and garlic and various spices...I serve it with some brown rice pasta. Nothing like a good ol' bowl of soup on a cozy evening right?
God bless you, I've been so busy with the season and covering all of my plants this morning. Not sure we will see snow but I'm enjoying seeing yours! Just lovely as usual.
Bless you dear friend, ~Amelia
Amelia, Thank you for commenting. You always write such nice comments of what is going on with you and I appreciate that very much. It has been a busy season for sure. I love winter and in my mind it should be a slower season, and it is in many ways.
Oh my! Your hens are living in warm luxury of sorts. Truthfully unless it goes lower than 20 degrees we just shut the doors. Last year we used a heat lamp and covered all the cracks if it got lower than 32 degrees, but they are doing okay this year so far. They did not come out of the coop in the snow though I offered😊.
Lovely post -- I like the photo your husband (evidently) took of you! It's wonderful that you got out when the snow was fresh and light and hadn't turned icy.
