Long Weekend

Thanks to some trading for duty officer work, I am enjoying a long weekend at the Franch.  Thank you fellow chiefs!!  Payback will be next weekend when I am on duty both Saturday and Sunday.  Sad face! 

Projects this weekend have included painting the potting shed door, hooking up Mike's new laptop, getting the Nest thermostat installed, and trying to figure out how to view the cameras online.

The color of the door on the potting shed is exactly what I wanted!  I have a silk Ryan blouse that is this color and was able to find this color for an exterior paint.  Take a look -


It is 23 degrees this morning and socked in with a half mile visiblilty.  Fog latches on to all things outside.  The hoar frost is thick, new growth that will disappear with a touch of a finger, a breath of wind, or the coming of the sun - should the sun come out today.  

Our dining area was graced with friends and a wonderful meal last night.  Six at the table works just right.  A pork roast with Mike Bressler's sauerkraut and mashed potatoes, big green salad, and a creative dessert.  I turned a half gallon of goat milk into fresh goat cheese and made some thin crackers for appetizers.  Using the quickly ripening fruits brought from home, I made a blueberry-mango-pineapple pie.  Some were doubtful on this combination, their minds quickly changed with the first warm bite.  Thanks Mom for teaching me how to make amazing crust!!  I got the touch from you!

A soak in the hot tub started this day and will finish it as we pack up to head back to Hoback for the week ahead.
