Wallflower Wednesday

[L.Ann]

It is supposed to get colder here too today, KitKat. I had to look up wallflowers kittykatt. They are really pretty. It will be awhile before I get a new one helian. I am reading AFlower Traveled in My Blood. It is written by a journalist and talks about all of the violence in Argentina that happened with all of the government overthrows in the 70s and the grandmothers that fought to find their disappeared grandchildren. It is well written but I do better with small bites spread over time.

Good morning!

Laura, I’m glad your mom enjoys the outings. Sorry they don’t have assistance with personal needs, seems weird but I’m sure there’s a reason. Hope you get some rest. Don’t worry about replies.

Helia, your meal sounds delicious. Enjoy your empty calendar moments. I had to lol at getting a message from my appliance being on fire, ok stove, tell the fridge to spray some water on you, I’m on my way!

Kitkat, hope the wind doesn’t blow you away on your walk.

LAnn, enjoy your day.

Kittykatt, I didn’t realize there was an actual wallflower, I thought it was a nickname thing. I learn so much here.

I’m back up. In need of coffee. Enjoying the cold that’s finally here but it’s supposed to rain today which will warm it right back up. Might clean, might nap, maybe both. Forgot to get my list so brb.

I had to look up wallflower too. They are really pretty. Said grows in zones 7-9. I am in zone 4.

Today's agenda (after getting dressed in weather appropriate clothes it's +15F (I think that's about -8C) and going down.
Put things (decorations and hardanger runner) back onto piano top (since I had the wrong week in my head for the piano tuner yesterday, and cleared it)
Papers for changing title of Mother's house came yesterday
so, fill them out, then go to courthouse with ID and death certificate
they are at her house, and I have a drawer that goes back to her desk
exercise class
chili cook off at church for supper, I need to get there early to set up breads I baked.

Good morning! And it is both, where I am. Not to jinx it, but this is Day 2 where Germane is eating her food with enthusiasm and asking for more. I opened a new can of Go! Duck as we have run out of Go! Shredded Turkey. If that's the brand she wants, it's fine with me. I'm just so happy to see her eating with an appetite.

It is very grey outside, which usually means that it is warm in winter. If it doesn't rain or snow, I'll look into taking Germane out for a carry later.

Bama, I have trouble picturing that as flavourful too, but then some people drink hot water straight so maybe it's like that.

Hi, L.Ann. Off to a good start.

Isn't that funny, kitkat. My slow cooker makes my best meals, but I have a df who raves about her air fryer. Just a difference in the way that we cook. I notice that the air fryer fans tend to cook with more meat than I do, and with more expensive vegetables. Over the winter, it's mostly potatoes/rice/carrots/root vegetables and I stretch my autumn 99 cent cabbage as far as it will go. I think that you do more adventurous vegetarian cooking than I do, as I'm more of a lazy cook.

Your pork chops sound delicious, helia, as does your supper tonight. I'm glad that you are getting some unstructured time.

Lauralind, I'm so glad that your dmother is thriving in the care home program, and that you are getting a break today.

I am at the end of Page 1, so... off to the races!

Kitkat, that’s a refreshing breakfast and walk.

Gma, I’m zone 9, a vast difference in plants from you. Chili and homemade bread sounds so good.

Dogged, you must be “holding your tongue right” (an old saying for when something works the way it should), so keep doing whatever you’re doing.

Enjoy your book, LAnn. What are you reading? I’m afraid phones have ruined me, I’m listening to books more than sitting and reading, that’s why I’m trying to get to BG’s book to slow down and focus better. I’ve only opened it once lol. Got great ideas and went down rabbit holes for foods and crafts.
