It's a gorgeous day here, sunshine, green grass, warming up nice.
Last night as the temperatures had dropped from 72 degrees to less than 42 degrees, in only 24 hours, I made homemade soup and man is it good! It was almost everything i needed to improve the evening.
I started with a chicken base to which I added celery tops and a carrot. Then I used just a touch of salt and fresh ground pepper, and decided since I love carrots that I'd go ballistic on them! added about 6 peeled and chopped carrots. Also used a meat bone for more flavor.
When it was almost done, after pulling the meat off the bone, I tossed in leftover California Blend vegetables, leftover chicken and rice soup, leftover mixed vegetables (frozen), and barley. I think this is one soup that would really sell in a cafe!
I've had it for supper last night and brunch today!
A dear friend sent me an email last night that brightened the night with it's message of love and caring. He'll probably never know how much it was needed. His timing is incredible.
Yesterday afternoon, on our way out to the garage, a new neighbor came over and introduced himself and he noticed me looking at is storage cubboard and now, LOL, it's in my living room! I told him yesterday to let me know what his wife wants for it, and he did when we got home from our trip. So today he brings it over, after asking first, wouldn't let me do the work myself. This is perfect for storing things that take up the precious little space in my tiny bedroom.
Today, well I have housework as usual, and want to spend time outside since we don't have enough of spring and summer to suit this warm weather person!
I am thinking about blogging about all the legal challenges I've undertaken and won, guess it would be a way of preserving what I've accomplished over the years. "They" say you can't beat city hall, believe me, you can. You just need to know how to start going about it! Scary? Naw. However......maybe I "should" have been....
I'm also thinking about blogging about really heavy duty stuff and if my relatives read this, they'd have a heart attack! What's the worst that can happen?
Oh where to start???

We have some weird weather lately. We NEVER get rain from the end of March until November. Two weeks ago on a Saturday night the skys opened up and in one night we got more rain than we got the whole winter. The electricity went out in the middle of the night... when it came back on it blew out my TV... so went and bought a new one.
It's been cold too... supposed to be hot this time of year. Today I went out in my winter jacket... so strange.
That soup of yours sounds absolutely yummy. Enjoy it.
Glad your friend was able to cheer you up yesterday with an email. Friends are so important.
Take care... and keep on posting!
isn't that odd about the weather!
Sorry about your tv :(
can you protect your new one with a surge protector? hope so!
the soup was DELICIOUS, made my bones and whole body strong again!
This particular friend is far away yet never further than a computer email! :) and he IS important to me.
See you around here and thereabouts, you take care of yourself too desertpeace!
