🌼 Dinner 🌼 Pretty 🌼

Here is the Corned Beef Dinner from the diner.  A lot, we couldn't eat all of it.   And I couldn't eat the Irish Soda

Bread, because it is made with Gluten.    🍀     I enjoyed this Irish Dinner, once.    But once-a-year is plenty, for me.         

When I went to take the pic of the dinner, I found pics on my camera, from a bit ago, when we had snow.   The sunset little bit of the sunset I could see, was lovely.  Pink and beautiful, against the new snow.

So even though our snow is no longer with us, and spring seems to have arrived, I just had to post the pictures.  😊

I found pretty photos, on "Fireside Cottage" Tumbler.   Under a hashtag called  #grandma core.   😊   They are delightful.

⛄More snow coming 🔥 Film 😊

Looking at ❄snow❄ coming again...

Saturday

Rain and snow, becoming all snow after 8am. Temperature falling to around 26 by 5pm.  Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 4 to 8 inches possible.

 Enough already....  😒

Have watched Brenda Blythen DVD's from the library.  "Blizzard"  an enchanting Christmas Time one, with her playing an Aunt, telling a 'story.'

"Saving Grace" about a small town English widow, facing financial troubles after her husband's suicide.  Pretty cute.  In both these films, she is playing a nice lady.  Smiling and looking nice.

Which make her role in "Vera" to be all the more interesting.   A total reversal.  Playing a woman with caustic wit and no-nonsense approach.    Showing her acting talents, as never before. 

So glad I got these DVD's to watch.

Have you seen "Blizzard"   or "Saving Grace" ?

So, yesterday we got our Spring Snow.   ❄  The sun is out this morning, and it is falling off the trees and melting.  ❄   Hope this is it, for March snow.   ❄   Ahhh but no....  

Saturday

Snow. High near 33. Light and variable wind becoming northwest 10 to 15 mph in the morning. Chance of precipitation is 100%. 

Sigh...

Last night, watched "FAT What No One Is Telling You" again.   

 

(For some reason, I can not get a click-able link to that program ?????)

 

Oooooops!!!!!!  It's a very old program!  Is it even relevant any more???  -sigh-

Guess I should just delete this post....  But *ding-it* I composed it.   Sooooooo, you all can just use your own judgement.

 

Soooooo, it is not our fault, that we are overweight.  Any overweight person, who has really tried to lose weight, especially in later life, can tell you that!!!!  But the stigma still exists.   We who are overweight, are lazy, and don't even try.  -sigh-  

I do believe that all the processed foods, and fast foods, which many consume, add to their obesity.  If children are brought up on fat, sugar, and processed foods, their taste buds are forever *ruined.*

And those, not brought up on such, but learning to enjoy them, along the way.....   Same result.  Unless they have a naturally thin body.

Luckily, I know when I am satisfied.  And can stop.  Yet my Set Point is SET. 

I was brought up on real food.   But have discovered not fatty or fast foods, but all forms of sugar.   And I now crave it. 

🍰🍮🍭🍬🍦🍨🍩🍪

My only solution is not have it in the house.

But that means, don't go out to eat either.   Because it is always available, once I leave the house.

Guess I should just delete this post....  But *ding-it* I composed it.   Sooooooo, you all can just use your own judgement.

Sooooooo, since I wasn't born in the time of Peter Paul Rubens...........

I'm out of luck.

🔥 Snow 🔥 And 🔥 Mys 🔥

Well, I am getting my snow!    

But it prevented our garage door, from being replaced today.

Ahhhhh but this garage door replacement is continuing to be a *Saga,* and not a good one.   But I'll spare you the details.

This photo shows falling snow, even better than my Header and above.   ❄

This is a picture someone lifted from a lovely Instagram.  "My Little Red House"  ...Another beautiful Net place, from Sweden.   In that country, they really know how to make a kitchen cozy, in their long, dark winters.

Do you know of Mys?  I didn't till today.

 

"Denmark introduced the world to hygge , the national pursuit of all things cozy and enjoyable.

In Sweden, where the winters are even longer, darker and drearier, the concept is called mys (pronounced mees) — or the adjectival mysigt. And although the terms are very similar, Swedish mys refers more pointedly to an ultra-cozy atmosphere. "

"Ways to experience Mys in daily life...

•  Dim the lights and light candles whilst you are watching TV
•  Buy some solar fairy lights to put around your bed
•  Invite your family round for a big family dinner and dress the table nicely with candles
•  On a Sunday morning, take your cup of coffee back to bed
•  Invite your best friend round, bring the duvet from your bed and huddle together on the sofa watching a movie
•  When it is raining, sit by the window in a big jumper and listen to the sound
•  Light a roaring fire on a cold night
•  Avoid harsh ceiling lights or spotlights and instead light your rooms with smaller table lamps
•  Wear big woollen socks on a cold day in your house
•  Grab your favourite book and curl up in an armchair"

.

Soooooooo.....   I know know about Mys!!!!!  -smile-

Ohhh, and tonight is the Full Wolf Moon!     I love that name!!!!!

🌲 Snow ~ Hooray 🌲 Grumble 🌲

Ice on pool fence, just outside our patio door.   At bottom is a flower planter, which filled with rain and froze solid.

Looking down, from patio door...  On left, steps to pool...  Then looking to right, is back patio...  Sprinkling of snow cover, on ice....  Tonight/Fri. will be -2 °F.    Tomorrow/Sat. will be High of 11 °F.     Sat. night will be  -4 °F.     Coooold, yes.    And Sunday night and Monday, we are supposed to get snow. 

It's Winter in the Upper North East!  😊

Seems like weather, for this type of meal, above.

I'm still grumpy, because this Week of Crap-O-La just seems to go on and on and on.   Wish I could say that the weekend, I can drop all things-that-have-to-be-done and sink into January Hibernation.  But....   Still have another project "hanging over my head."   Grumble-grumble-grumble-   Know what?   I just might say PHOOOIE!    Put it off till Monday!   -grin-

❄ A lovely lady ❄ Snow ❄

Isn't she lovely?   Catherine    At 40

 

Please do click on that red click-able link above.  It shows the portraits, in large size, where they are even more beautiful.   ✨    A lady, who does her job and is a wife and mother.   Without any whining or moaning or *Oprah Interviews*....    ~smirk~

We had lots and lots of snow showers on Monday.  At one time, they were huge, so I took a picture.  By some *magic,* they can actually be seen here!!!!!

❄

We were very lucky that the Ice Storm did not give us enough ice to lose power, on Sunday!!!!   But it was an uncomfortable day, trying not to think about the possibility.

❄

Today/Monday, it has been a trying day, what with dealing with one problem after another, after another.   Which I will leave for another day.     

And....    I can't resist, a large version, of perhaps the most lovely, to me....   Portraits of Catherine...

  "Winter is a season of recovery and preparation." ~ Paul Theroux

  "I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently?  And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, 'Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.'"  ~Lewis Carroll

❄❄ 'Daughter of The North ❄❄

I am a "Daughter of The North"...

Not blond or young...    But in my veins, flows the blood of Germany, Austria, Scotland and Ireland.   Not a drop of Mediterranean blood there.   😊   I have had cold winters and snow, for all my 84 years.
  

So it is no wonder, that I want cold winters, with snow.

Can you see those bits of snow, 'against' the road,  captured by my old camera?   Hard I know....  -sigh-

Here perhaps...?   

I even cleaned the camera 'bit,' which "seeeeees" what I am taking.    

Might as well give up.   This old camera is not doing well.   LOL

         ❄ The snow is not heavy or big flakes, but still.....   

Just make believe you can see it, please.  😊

❄

We aren't getting much.   Just a pitiful amount.

❄  

And then,  in the future,  next Monday night will be 0 degrees F.   And....  Tuesday temps will be a High of 8 degrees F.   Fat chance of snow then....

❄

Perhaps I need to get a ticket to Sweden.   LOL.

Please click  ❄❄  on this link,  ❄❄   and go to "Wonderful Clara" blog, from Sweden.     If it comes up in Swedish, find the little Swedish flag, in top line, and click it....   To bring up the British flag, which will give you it, in English.

Scroll down through the lovely homey scenes of their New Year's in their Grandparents house, to see the beautiful snow, and clear night skies, where you are able to see stars, stars, stars, stars, stars.  😊😊😊😊😊😊

⛄⛄ I⛄WANT⛄SNOW⛄⛄

Pretty sunset, after gray skies all day, with 'Snow Globe' snow conditions.   Also, very, very cold.

But.....   This is all the snow we have.   A mere dusting.  -sigh-

Did you ever hear it said, that it's too cold to snow?  I have, but it may just be a local "saying."   But if it's true, that might have been the case here, today.   It stayed very cold.  Perhaps that's why we only got a enough accumulation, for a dusting.   ?????
