Thursday Ramblings

More snow! 
My goodness the soil will be nitrogen-rich by the time gardening season rolls around.
I’m back to doing care giving for 20 hrs/wk through Spring.
That means my afternoons are free for errands, housework, and hooking.
It’s good to shake up a routine and funny how stressful it is at first.
At least for me....
Today I threw together a chicken, penne, carrot and celery casserole
 and I’m out of cream soup so I made a substitute (flour, butter, chicken broth, milk).
Nice hearty dish for a snowy day. 
And I bought a couple new cozy mysteries-- a Donna Andrews and an Auralee Wallace--
 as I finished my book club read.
Check out this bowl I snagged off kijiji (similar to Craig’s List).
 
 It’s a 14” TG Green Gripstand Bowl from England.
$25 was a bargain!!! I've seen them for $80+!

And here is dear dog Lucy the other day:
She is saying, "get this rug done already! It's time for my walkies!"
**********

Hubby has had awful time with irritable bowel again. 
If you or someone you know has it my heart goes out to you!
 I used to roll my eyes when someone said they had IBS.
I’ve since repented.
My son has it too; his is courtesy of a parasite from a trip to Ghana.
February is racing to an end- hope yours is going well!

Your recipe sounds yummy and perfect for a snow day! Lucy is adorable. I thought Kijiji was more like Etsy. I could be wrong. Hoping to do a bit of hooking this weekend myself. Janice
