We got enough snow over the weekend for the kids to actually play in it. S actually got to go sledding on the Big Hill with her friend. Little E had to make do with sledding in the back yard with S. Seeing as we have no actual hills in the back yard, they made do with sledding on the compost pile in one of the gardens! Lovely. They screamed me outside to watch them as they giggled and flipped down the pile of leaves, eggshells, coffee grounds and other yummy composting items. These poor city kids find ways to make do, I suppose. :)
The little darlings also made Deck Angels in the snow. So nice!
Sunday was very cold. We had a decent day in after going to church. Made a roast chicken dinner with adzuki beans, onions and collards, and a side of green beans. It's so nice to pull a jar upstairs, or something out of the freezer and see that summertime date written on it. It brings me back to the hot day that I picked and processed whatever I'm about to cook. The green beans were processed on a very hot summer's evening when G and the kids were away. I watched a fairly steamy 3 hour long BBC Victorian drama while snapping green beans on the kitchen floor. Ahh...how nice to remember when it's dark at 4:30pm and 18 degrees outside.
Tasty too!
