A Blustery Day... Is it WINDSDAY?


One of the down sides of living here is the wind. We had a dooozy blow through here today. Someone else took these pictures, all of this happened just a block away from where we live. We were fortunate that we had nothing more than a trash can that got knocked over and that we didn't lose power.




It was a very blustery day, Happy WINDSDAY!

It's been a long long time.....

It has been a while since I last posted. I miss blogging. It is interesting how my life has changed over the last 18 months. That is the reason I have a new approach to blogging. I won't go into all the nitty gritty details, let us just say my life is a never ending list and some things just keep ending up on the bottom. New outlook, new approach. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

I was reading another blog recently about how this (unnamed) person really enjoys nourishing her family. My first thought was that she was crazy. After almost 17 years of figuring out what's for dinner, making shopping lists, shopping, organizing and making dinner, let's say I am less than enthusiastic. Then I started think about it. Nourishment is the substances necessary for growth, health, and good condition. Then I began to feel gratitude for the fact that I can nourish my family. Tonight we were able to try this new enchilada recipe:



(thankfully the consensus was that my original enchiladas are better... thank you family!)


Which then created this:

How could I not be glad to nourish this adorable face?



On another note, I am grateful for free lunch so that I can see these two cuties!!! Another great opportunity for nourishment and friendship all rolled into one!!!






The question is: How do feel about nourishing your family? Is it an ordeal or is it a joy?
