Sun shines early

Well, you can really tell spring is on it's way... the sun shines earlier and that's really NICE.
I made beef stock today... got a new cook book... that is really good. So, I decided to make beef stock and tomorrow make soup. I had beef bones and such from a shopping trip.... Shop Rite is not too far from here. (: Baked the bones in the convection oven.... smelled good. then put them in the crock pot and added roasted veggies and water then smelled it all afternoon.... soooooo good. So I just drained the stock and... put it outside. That is the nice thing about winter. Yes, I have room in the refrigerator... but, it warms things up... so much easier to just stick it out on the deck. The sliding door is right off the living room next to the breakfast area... so it's easy and tomorrow I'll just clean off the fat and use it for soup!!! YEA!!!!!

I thought we were going to have warmer weather but it has really been cold. We were out yesterday and the wind was so fierce... we really were cold just in the few minutes from the house to the car. We are expecting snow/mix Sunday night so we will do breakfast tomorrow and plan to be home Monday. So, oatmeal is a good change.

And March is just down the road.... and spring around the corner.
