A Slushy Mess but a Nice Day

A rainy/sleety/slushy/messy day. And although we had a period of snow this afternoon, the precipitation didn't add too much to the mess that's on the ground. However, it's to go down to the teens tonight and the wind is picking up. That means the stuff on the ground freezes...UGH  The good news is that Monday should be in the 50s so the frozen stuff will melt.
There is a rather large puddle at the bottom of the front porch steps. It was just a bunch of snow but yesterday the area turned to water. Now Honey has enjoyed the snow, danced in it, sniffed it with her nose that then holds the flakes, jumped and sat in it. But she does NOT like this puddle. I took her out. She sat at the top of the steps – no, Mom, I don't want to go down. I could hear her saying this. Well, down we went and she, the wuss, went into the bush on the side of the walkway to not get her little toes wet! Then off she went to cavort in the snow and really, got wet all over. On the way back in, same route – around the puddle and up the stairs. Smart dog!
We had plans for dinner. However, that plan didn't work. So, at 5:30 we were without a plan for eating. Now I spent the afternoon going through my typed recipes and making sure all of them were saved to a flash drive in Word 07. I also printed any out that were still hand written in my file. So you could say we were recipe focused. However, at 5:30 there was a limit to choices. So, in the oven is Barber chicken (broccoli, cheese and ham). I love Barber chicken!!! B is not so liking them but given several choices, he is OK with this. I also have a small pot pie size cherry pie in the oven and conveniently it needs the same temperature. Add a salad and there is our meal.
I have to add that Honey just jumped up on the sofa and is laying beside me. She did try to nibble on the laptop..guess it didn't taste too good as she is now asleep with her head against my leg but not on my lap as that is where the lap top is. Such a good girl!!!
