Another blessed day at the Old Farm..

Hello my dears..

I promised in my last post that I would share some pics of our day at our  old farm with you...

Sammi seemed to know where we were going...

The farm is one of his favorite places, too.. smile..

As you can see our snow as all vanished... At least we had some for Christmas Day...

The rain was coming down in sheets...

And the wind was roaring, too.. All of you girls who have been following the blog for a while know that I love this kind of weather..

Terry made a fire and I put the kettle on to boil.. The house was not too cold as he had been out the day before and the temps were mild, anyway..

We were a bit late getting here so I set right to work getting dinner ready...

Terry wanted me to tell you that I just went out and picked the veggies.. grin.. I brought them from home, of course....

What should I make with this variety, I wonder... 

We are sort of expecting company... My Mom said that they might be up...

I decided at home that I would probably make a casserole and a salad.. Sound good?

Broccoli Salad...

Blanche a bunch of broccoli and rinse in cold water and drain well.. Add a bit of red onion, a couple of sliced mushrooms, and a bit of cheese..

You can also add a couple slices of bacon.. Whenever I cook bacon I always try to save a few crisp slices in the fridge for salads..

A little touch goes a long way in flavor..

Then I just mixed about a 1/3 cup of mayo with about a tablespoon of red wine vinegar..

Don't add the dressing until ready to eat..

Terry had to go to the barn to get a hammer so I sent the camera with him...

Such a big old barn.. I wrote about it HERE..

I closed this blog but the post is still there..

I love old barns, do you? 

Anyway... inside I am making Shepherds Pie..

I really don't know where the recipe for this came from..

It may have come from Terry's Mom.. I know mine didn't make it...  

                

 Terry gave me these new place mats for Christmas..

Aren't they cute?  I love the red work...

See my little Christmas candle holder I picked up at the Thrift store for only 75 cents... It is still Christmas season, eh?

The casserole is cooked and the salad is tossed.. 

I guess lunch is ready..

Our company didn't arrive.. Oh well..

Great leftovers... smile..

A good frugal meal... Lots of veggies, too..

Thank you dear Lord for a lovely meal and a lovely day..

Here is an old mirror that I have had for years.. Terry found it under our sofa in the living room the other day..

I think I will put it here...

I love sheep... Do you?

I will just keep puttering away... smile.. 

Another day is coming to a close.. It is almost dark out ...

We need to close everything up and get going..

Ahh... the lights of home...

Everyone here still have  their Christmas lights on..

Until New Years Day that is.... smile..

We have had a wonderful blessed day together..

All we need for supper is a cup of tea and a bowl of tomato soup...

Hope you are having a good week, too ...

Thanks for dropping by sweet ladies.. Looking forward to hearing from you again..  Are you still celebrating the season or is it all over in your part of the world? 

God bless...
