Strange winter weather...30º

We get a few inches of snow, then it warms up, turns to rain, making for slick roads and hazardous travel...Last week, more days were reminiscent of spring and we always wonder, "Is this our spring and what will March and April bring?.."...So as usual we enjoy each day and are very thankful for the days with sunshine.

Pam and I had our scheduled haircut appointments in La Grande last Friday and it was like a warm, sunny spring day...Even La Grande had very little wind and shirt sleeve temperatures...As usual we did whirlwind shopping, visited a new community thrift store, had lunch out and got home just after dark...Herb kept the home fire burning, so good to come home to a comfy house and a husband who encourages you to leave but happy to have you return.

We had an "appetizer" dinner last week...I was hungry for chinese food, such as sweet and sour, deep fried, and take your breath away hot mustard...Sweet and sour meat balls, crusty fried shrimp and "healthy" spring rolls dipped in peanut sauce found their way to our plate...I got so involved with prepping everything that I forgot to cook the rice!...AND I will never figure out why it takes 2 hours to prep a meal and 15 minutes to eat it!.

Spring rolls, meatballs and sauces.

Fried shrimp

Yesterday I fixed comfort food at its best, oven roasted chicken and veggies...The potatoes, carrots and onions came from our garden, we relish every bite...Looks like we are in for a dusting of snow today and more sunshine...Hugs To All...OWAV:)
