Finally the snow is melting and I am done with my taxes whooooooooohooooow! Now it's time to play. I've been wanting to get started making some Easter crafts. I will post them as I get them done....I will also post some cute ideas I've been seeing around.
The animals have been out in full force lately..... I guess they are enjoying the nice weather too. The birds and squirrels have been fighting over the bird feeder. I wish I could get a picture of this crazy squirrel. He gets on the gate and jumps onto the window trying to reach the bird feeder. Of course he falls off every time.....you think he would learn after the second time Oh no he keeps trying and trying. This poor little guy isn't going to give up. I felt so bad for him since he kept falling and never did make it to get any food so I put some out for him. We have also had jackrabbits playing in the snow. I didn't get a picture of them play but here is a picture of one of them the other one took of as fast as he could.
If you click on this picture you will see a woodpecker eating out of the bird feeder. Have a great day!

Snow,Snow and MORE SNOW
Ok enough is enough it can quit snowing anytime now. It's been snowing since Sunday. Ok not continuously but off and on. I am so OVER WINTER!!!! Poor Mark has been shoveling snow for days now and can't get caught up....it's kind of like laundry and dishes no matter how many times you do them there is still more :-) Poor Guy!
Today snow is just now starting to stick so there is only about 2" so far and accumulating rapidly. We still have power,sporadic phone service and absolutely no CELL service....text come in once in awhile but we can't return them. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or bad. It sure has been peaceful with no TV,Radio or Phone.
So enough about our situation here on the hill have you seen the new Pantone Colors for this Fall.....well here they are.....aren't they gorgeous?

No Power for over 24 hours
There was no late night scrapping here on Sunday even though the girls where stuck here until late on Monday. We lost power at about 7 on Sunday and didn't get it back until Monday night after 8. Just as I was trying to fix dinner by candle lite.
It was very quite around here. You could hear the branches and trees falling. All day Sunday and Monday you heard snow blowers from sun up til sundown. The snow in the driveway was over 3' deep. On the patio it was up to the railing.
We lost two trees and I'm not s
ure how many branches but they are all over the yard.
ure how many branches but they are all over the yard.
We are suppose to be getting another STORM tonight. I'm not sure how much longer we will have power. There are still a lot of power lines done and we could lose more if the winds get as strong as they are predicting.
I'm trying to decided if I want to go to work with Mark and stay at a friends house or just be here in the storm by myself. I pretty sure he won't be making it home until probably Sat.....we are suppose to get snow the rest of the week. I don't mind being here if we have electricity but it's a little hard around here with none and I'm not sure I'll have enough firewood to last that long. I'm sending Mark to get more wood now.....I don't want to be without heat. I can live without everything else but I draw the line at being cold.

Another Storm
Boy this week flew by. We had a Retreat from Friday - Monday and the next Retreat started on Thursday and goes to Sunday so we have been non stop. Monday Mark started his vacation so Tuesday we went to Santa Clarita so I could get my birthday facial and massage :-) (thanks to my wonderful friend Shelly). If you live in Santa Clarita and feel like pampering yourself you need to visit RoseMary's Salon her and her husband are wonderful! Wednesday we went to Bakersfield and spent the day spoiling our grand daughter. She is growing way to fast. She already 15 months old.
We are suppose to get hit with another storm tonight. We've had snow flurries off and on all day....they are saying we are suppose to get 1-2" of snow tonight. I hope not! I am so over winter LOL. Just like last weekend the girls are hoping for snow. This group is really hoping they get snowed in. In fact they are the only group that has ever been snowed in so they are hoping for a repeat ;-)
I found this wonderful soup recipe (can't remember where. I really should write down where I find these recipes) if you looking for something easy and YUMMMMMMY to fix in this cold weather
Tortellini Soup
Yield: 3-4 servings
Ingredients:
1 tbsp. olive oil
½ cup onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic,
minced½ tsp. dried oregano
1 (15 oz.) can diced tomatoes, with juices
4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth (or chicken broth)
9 oz. tortellini, any variety (fresh or frozen)
3 cups fresh baby spinach, loosely packed Salt and pepper and Grated Parmesan, for serving
Directions:
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions to the pan and cook until beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Add in the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, just until fragrant, about 1 minute. Mix in the oregano and diced tomatoes. Add the broth to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil. Add the tortellini to the pot and cook according to the package directions. One minute before the tortellini is fully cooked, stir in the spinach. Remove from the heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm with grated Parmesan as desired.
I usually double this recipe it taste great the next day too! This really a must try recipe it's so easy and good! Let me know how you like it.

No time
I really thought I was going to have a lot more time to blog now that we have moved to the Retreat. Oh that is so far from the truth.....I am busier now then ever before. We have had back to back 4 day retreats so by the time I clean,do the laundry it's time to go to town to get groceries. OK I know going to get groceries doesn't sound like much but it is now an all day process. It's the one day a week I get to town so I have to make sure I get all my errands done on that day.
I haven't even had time to start my Valentine's Day crafts. I hope to have time to get them done this week since we are heading to Pismo Beach next weekend. Yea we need the break it's been non stop since Christmas and it will be non stop for another month when we get back.
Here are a couple of things I hope to get made this coming week. Aren't these suckers adorable. I found them over at Skip to My Lou. I only have large candy canes left so I hope they will turn out. I was to late to find the small candy canes.
I also want to try making Hot Chocolate on a spoon with home made marshmallows. I don't have a picture of them to share yet but if I get them made I will take pictures.

Banana Pecan Waffles
If you are looking for a Specail Breakfast for Valentine's Day (or anyday) these waffles are sooooooooooooo good.
Pecan Waffles with Roasted Pecan and Banana Syrup
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups flour
1/3 cup ground pecans
1/3 sugar
1 tablespoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoons salt
2 egg yolks
1 teaspoons vanilla
1 3/4 cups milk
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons melted butter
2 egg whites
1 cup pecan pieces
2 whole bananas, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch slices
2 1/2 cups maple syrup
Directions
In a mixing bowl combine flour, pecans, sugar, baking powder and salt. In another bowl beat the egg yolks and vanilla slightly. Beat the milk and 1/2 cup melted butter into the egg mixture. Fold the flour mixture into the egg mixture. Stir until combined yet still slightly lumpy. In a small bowl beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold beaten egg whites into batter, leaving little fluffs of egg whites. Pour 1 cup batter onto grids of a preheated, lightly greased waffle iron. Close lid quickly: do not open during baking. Bake according to the manufacturer's directions for the waffle iron.
In a saute pan, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Add the pecan pieces and saute until golden, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the banana slices and syrup and bring the liquid to a simmer
I saw the recipe on Emeril Lagasse. I made them this weekend for the girls at the retreat and they loved them.

1/2 cup Butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Directions:
Microwave candies, Karo, and butter 4 minutes on high, stirring after 2 minutes.

Enjoy!
I can't believe the weather here.....last week we had snow on the ground and this week it's in the high 60's - low 70's. I'm loving the warmer weather. I was just telling my DH that it was about time for me to go stay in my old stomping grounds for a few days so I could get a break from the snow. Now I guess I will have to use the beach for an excuse to escape here for a few days. LOL
It's time to go make breakfast so I better run. Have a great day!
