The weather stays mild all winter in the central valley, but we do get some frost days and it has snowed here twice that I can remember but it didn't stick. Last week when I got up to get my husband off to work, I found this: They are the yellow ones and were so sweet but very mild. I used the tops and all in a rice veggie dish inspired by http://simple-green-frugal.blogspot.com , it was pretty tasty.
What else have we been doing? Well, now that school is out for Christmas vacation, the boys have been playing outside "hunting for things" with these wooden rifles I found at the Tractor Supply store(my favorite place ever!): And my girls and I have been baking and knitting. My little guy, Eliot, had a hard time transitioning into the girls' bunk beds (they got a new bed) because it was the "girls'"bed (even though it is a plain wood color) so he decided to write his name all over the bottom bunk- I guess it made him feel a little better. He also wrote his name on his drawers so I came up with an idea that I would paint each of the kids' names on their drawers but my friend said to let the children do it themselves- so I did: And last but not least, here is my kitty- you know I can't resist this cute little face: |
ICE! The truck and lawn was covered with frost it almost looked like snow but as soon as the sun came up it was gone. It has been awfully cold staying in the 40's. I know, doesn't sound very cold compared to the rest of the country, but I lived in northern Idaho for 7 months including winter. We experienced single and negative digit weather- that was cold, but the cold is different. Fourty degrees in California is very cold! Anyway, despite the low temps I am just now harvesting carrots! Yeah ,I did something right!
