Debe that is so special. A real meaningful tradition to begin the year. What a way to express your obedience.
Well then ... don't tell us about it ... SEND it to us!!
Yesterday afternoon the temps dropped quickly and then we had freezing rain that put a solid sheet of ice all over everything. Snow today with high winds. Don't know what the temp was but it sure was darn cold! I'm SO ready for Spring!
Randy - Glad you got that limb down without any incident.
Deb - I'm here! Just been busy with the holdiays and family and all that good stuff. (and frozen solid too)
Hey there to everyone else ...
Dale ,,,I think it is the best way to begin the New Year....and what a great family time...was also took part in a family last supper...what a great way to end and beging all at the same time...
That's quite an idea, Deb. Several years back I was pretty curious about what barley cakes tasted like. Those were the ones that were multiplied to feed all those people on the mountain. I bought some barley and ground it into flour, then made some small rolls similar to what I thought would be what a boy would carry for lunch about 2000 years ago. Wheat apparently was what the wealthier people made bread out of. I can say that I did not care for the taste, but I think if I was hungry enough, I would be glad to have barley cakes. I think I would like to do that again anyway. I haven't used my flour mill that much and that's a good excuse.

I babysat the grands for New Year's Eve so we all went to bed together in my queen size bed. It was a big deal for the kids. The only one that wasn't happy was Sam, my little dog, as he usually has half the bed to himself so he more or less slept on my shoulder and head all night. Next morning we got up and had bacon, sausage and eggs for breakfast.
We had freezing rain last night and then snow so it was slick this morning.

I got the big limb that came down on our garage all rigged to be lifted off whenever David can give me a hand. I have it rigged so it can be lifted up rather than dragged across the roof. Once lifted with the block and tackle, pulling on the tag line will enable us to swing it clear of the roof.

I wasn't so lucky...when my limb came down it poked straight thru my metal garage roof. At least it was out near the edge so it didn't leak inside.
Freezing rain and yuck here today. Hopefully nothing like last week. Our whole area was a glaze of ice. The drive home took some 5 or 6 hours with all the accidents and road closures. Of course it's a known fact that people from Ohio can't drive...
