This was my sad, damn cold winter day today:
I am often challenged by breakfast, mainly because i now try to eat better then i ever have and because most breakfast foods are bad for you: sausage, bacon (although i really do love bacon), bread, sweet breads. All that stuff really isn't very good for you, well if you compare it to what is: like fresh fruit and vegetables. And think about it: a full plate of bleached white flour, with milk and some leavening = pancakes! Yuck, plus add that syrup and butter to the top just to make it edible, double yuck! For me, anyway. So i have to be quite creative in my food choices. And as i am thinking about this, maybe potstickers were not the best example in comparing bad breakfast foods to good breakfast foods, but i regress. So i had potstickers for breakfast. and they tasted good! : )
Nummy potstickers frying the pan - grease almost hit my lens! |
Then the next part of my day, as i settled into write on the blog and check my Facebook pages (when really i should be thinking of more important things i should be doing like getting the tax stuff together or replacing the tile in the foyer - but i regress), i found a PILE OF HOUNDS on the couch. Now this is nothing new really for my girls but i thought i would share the beauty:
Now the next part of my day belongs outside because dear old mother nature has sought revenge on MN again this year and there are to be windchill factors of -25 to -30 degrees tonight. Yes, your heard me right - NEGATIVE 30! All this does is create more work for me, because i can't leave the horses out there in that kind of weather when they don't have a three sided shelter in which to stand under. So i will be bringing them in to their stalls tonight. Ahhhh.... life on the farm.
This is the weather forecast for the next 12 hours, and yes that is a FEELS LIKE of -29 at 11 pm tonight folks!
