Saturday Evening

Well, I just looked at my to-do list in the morning entry and all I have actually done is to order the portfolio on line and go for two walks! Well, all the other stuff will be there waiting for me tomorrow.

We had home-made chicken soup this evening. Fred spent most of the afternoon putting it together. All I did was to find the sage when he asked me to look for it and find the celery seeds. He also had marjoram and just enough black pepper. He added carrots , garlic, celery and bow-tie pasta. I had two cups. BIG cups….

Ok, to be done definitely tomorrow–I should be able to manage three things, right?

Make a loaf of white bead.
Go for at least one walk and try for two.
Go for a massage.

I really enjoyed my second walk. This is the time of the year when I take my camera out with me on the second walk in the afternoon. I had thought that I had seen some snowdrops in a garden I walked past this morning, but when I went back with the camera this afternoon, it turned out to be something like grape hyacinths only white. They were pretty but not what I thought they were. However, I did get some pictures of crocuses in a neighbors front garden. I went out into our back yard to see how the lilac bushes were coming along. There were tight buds but nothing opening up yet. I have the pictures in my desk-top computer but haven’t got around to uploading them to my photosite as yet. Coming soon, I promise.

Until later…

I think I just figured out why I don’t make lists – because I so rarely follow a plan and would never be able to cross anything off them!!

I think I need to make a list, of course I would have to find the list and look at it too. 🙂

Your entries often remind me of one of my favorite books. If you have never read Hal Borland’s “Twelve Moons of the Year”, you should try to find it and read it. Unfortunately it’s out of print, but it’s around as a used book and in some libraries. Like your entries, it makes the reader feel connected with the natural world even if (s)he’s reading it in downtown Manhattan.

It is surprising the progress of different spring gardens depending on their location. The ones in sunny sheltered areas are doing much better than the ones in cooler areas where the bulbs are still in long johns.

That soup sounds delicious. Here we make turkey bow-ties. I use a fat-free pasta sauce and sundried tomatoes in water. I cook the ground turkey separately with a canola oil spray in the bottom of the pan. Season the sauce with your favorite herbs. Drain turkey and rinse pasta. Add sauce to turkey. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Serve with a salad.

ryn: I think I wrote an entry in this fashion (listing all I did), just so I could see all that I accomplish in a day or two — espeically when I stay off the computer! I enjoy reading the lists of all you do (or plan to get done during the day).
