We had another good frost this morning, followed by another
lovely day of winter sunshine.
I took this photo a few years ago, one cold frosty morning
on the farm with just a few wisps of mist wafting around.
It was a day of phone calls today. Half of my time seems to have been spent on
the phone catching up with different people.
Strange how it all happens on one day, instead of spreading out over the
week!
The washing all dried outside on the line, but I now have it
airing in front of the fire to completely dry it. One thing I hate is musty-smelling clothes,
because they haven’t been aired correctly.
We had risotto for dinner again tonight – mushroom flavoured
this time. I took this photo as I began
cooking – and then promptly forgot to take anymore!
We are heading into another weekend. I have nothing planned, will just see what
happens and go with the flow.
Have a cheerful day 😊
Margaret.
Looks as though we may have a few more frosts yet Margaret... as long as we get the fine days, I don't mind too much. We had a gorgeous sunrise this morning - a very colourful pink and blue at 6:45... I am not usually up that early, but the cat got me up by shutting the bedroom door, then wanting out!!

There is nothing quite as pleasant as a sunny frosty morning.
ReplyDeleteThose frosty mornings require warm clothing but a walk is invigorating.
ReplyDeleteMushroom risotto sounds delicious. I haven’t cooked a risotto for a while. Love your frosty photo. Still cool and damp here, so much for high summer! B x
ReplyDeleteI don’t know if we will have any summer here!
ReplyDeleteWe had two days without rain and cold, but tomorrow it is starting again for about 10 days!
I wish you a good weekend.
Fabulous photo of frost and mistiness. F says the veg look good. If you want to know what a cat thinks ask Mittens. (I reckon she'll agree it's no replacement for roast chook.) xxx Sir T
ReplyDeleteThat certainly was a cold frosty morning on the farm. Great photo .
ReplyDeleteWe've had a great day today. Out of the wind it reached the dizzy heights approaching 20ºC. Your first picture looks really chilly but absolutely wind free. I love risotto. There's a real art to getting the rice creamy as I learned from Italian friends. I get chuffed when I achieve that. Asparagus and pea is my latest fad.
ReplyDeleteMusty clothes... Damp clothes... Feel for me here.... Where we have so much rain and humidity, it is horrid to get clothes really, really dry, to put away.
ReplyDeleteEven in the dryer.
Sighhhhhhhhhhhhhh....
It feels like, if _we_ stand still too long, _we_ will get musty and moldy!!!
OK, enough 'poor pitiful Pearl'! LOL

Gazing at your picture of the frosty morning on the farm I can almost make myself forget that it's 30 outside and not much cooler in the kitchen. Where I am going in a minute to start supper.
ReplyDeleteTake care.
I have never tried to make or eaten risotto...someday maybe.
ReplyDeleteThe start of your risotto looks very promising so I am sure it was delicious! Beautiful morning photo.
ReplyDeleteDo you use arborio rice for your risotto?
ReplyDeleteI've been making rice and mixed veg meals a lot recently but using either jasmine rice or basmati rice, then plopping a fried or poached egg on top, nutricious and yummy especially with a tiny shake of hot sauce on top!
Yes, I do. It seems to hold its shape and be creamier at the same time. The egg on top sounds like a yummy addition :)
DeleteI actually prefer winter over summer, I hate the heat, most of our mornings have started between 4 and 6 deg celsius, but at least we've had some sunny days.
ReplyDeletePor aquí hace calor. Un beso.
