Beautiful Weather

We have been very lucky lately with weather. We did get one day of a light snow fall, but didn't last long and it melted away in no time.

It's a little to cold for my liking to bike in the morning, so my hubby has been dropping me off at work, then since it's still so beautiful outside, I walk home from work. It's a great time to get some sunshine from being indoors all day, unless I step out for a walk during my lunch break. It takes me about 30 minutes to walk home, and it's great to get some fresh air, exercise, some nice Vitamin D from the sun, and also think of things.

With weather being so nice, they are announcing 15 today, so it's really hard to get into the Christmas spirit. I am very happy that weather is this warm out though, and hope it keeps being this nice. I have started a Christmas list, but still need more gift ideas. We've been very busy with all sorts of plans, and will keep being busy for a while, but should be able to head out shopping with my dad in about 2 and a half weeks. My dad and I have started a bit of a new ritual of going Christmas shopping together, and it does make it more fun to go shopping.

I am still getting into the kitchen, I have made a large pot of chilli, a big batch of spaghetti sauce, some soup which all have batches in the freezer, including some homemade stock. I have made some caramel sticky buns, and cookies. I would like to start baking up some holiday treats, but I think I'll wait till the start of December.



 I know I haven't been posting many recipes but I'll do my best to post some soon.
