Yep, it snowed yesterday and iced up overnight. Not a pretty sight out by the evergreens.
We lost a few limbs. Most of them, though, just were heavily laden with ice. We try to keep the trees healthy. And, we cross our fingers most of the time when the ice comes our way.
Everywhere in the yard, I was taking stock. Making sure the best trees looked OK and weren’t about to break off limbs.
Today was also a soup day. Nothing beats a good hearty soup, to warm you up after time spent shoveling snow.
This was turkey noodle soup. I keep a container full of pasta and noodles, to use for soups and stews.
Pasta shapes. Whole wheat noodles. Pot pie noodles.
Today, I combined leftover Maple Lawn turkey with CSA chicken stock. Added one carrot, one stalk of celery with leaves and the green part of half a dozen scallions. Some salt and pepper. Simmered it while we shoveled snow.
Lunch was wonderful. While our clothes dried out.
Now, we have to get ready for round two tomorrow. I am so ready for winter to end, and it just began.
