HAPPY 2015

 

              HAPPY NEW YEAR
                        2015

Hi Everyone, hoping the New Year is a great one for all of you. I decided not to make any resolutions or promises and take it a day at a time. I have many ideas as to what I want in the new year but, I don't want to jinx them, LOL. I did get some snow and it made my surroundings look very nice and Wintery.

You can see the snow falling

The snowmachine I got. I did get it running and rode it a few times. There are a couple more things I have to do before any long distance traveling.

Of course, with snow comes chores 8-}

My favorite chore of course, LOL

I did have a hearty breakfast before attacking the snow

Dinner that night was appropriate
 
Hot Dog soup using Turkey hot dogs, onions, green beans, corn, diced tomatoes, oregano and Italian seasoning.

It sure hit the spot, Mmmmm!

unfortunately, it started raining last night and lasted through today New Years eve. Here is what's left of the snow.

So, I woke up this morning to 40 degrees and light rain

Even though it was raining, I just couldn't sit around, I decided to go out and stack my firewood.



I put about 4 hours between shoveling and stacking, still have some left to finish

Dinner tonight Pork chop and baked potato

Well, that's pretty much it for New Years Eve. I am staying home where it's safe. Please, if you are going out, be safe, don't drink and drive and have an enjoyable evening.

                     TAKE CARE

Happy New Year John. I see where the Troopers have posted travel warnings for a chunk of the Richardson hwy, and over 100 miles of the Parks hwy due to the ice on the roads. It drizzled here all day Wednesday. Last nites low temp was 34f. My only travel plans today are the traveling I'll do between the coffee pot and the TV. Best wishes for another good year. Old John

LOL, Thanks Evano. I may have to move to Canada for the Winters, lol. You're very welcome, have a good year.

Bushrat John said...

Thanks John, back at ya. I don't plan on travel until Friday unless it's still slippery.

Hi! John, the snow looks real pretty when it first comes down! Sorry to hear the temps have warmed up . I enjoyed your new Picts of past and the present. I thought of you and your blog when I came across this saying by artist D. Morgan-
Our hearts are warm
The fire's aglow
Soup's in the kettle
Let it Snow!
Let it Snow!
Best wishes and Health in 2015! KC

Bushrat John said...

Thanks KC, Hoping 2015 is good for you. Colder temps are forcasted. Like the saying, very nice

Carol said...

Happy New Year John! Well you sure have us beat in the snow department but we may get some on Sunday. Thanks for the photos. Doesn't firewood looks so neat when it is all stacked up. Your soup looks good! I do believe you can make a great soup with anything John! I do have to say that Kayak was a handsome fellow indeed. Love your photos.
Carol

Bushrat John said...

Hi Carol, thanks. We are supposed to get more but, I hope we get much colder weather first. Stacking it makes less clutter. I do like experimenting with soup. Kayak was a very handsome dog and I miss him a lot.

Elaine said...

Thanks for visiting my blog--always nice to hear from a fellow Alaskan. We were quite warm too, but the new year started out with some colder temps below zero--still pretty mild for January so no complaints on our end.

Bushrat John said...

Hi Bert, I do like my soups, it's good food. Tornados, eh? I'm glad we don't get them, stay safe. My temp made it to 0 last night. Next week is suppose to warm up again. Take care.

Bushrat John said...

Hi Elaine, you're welcome. Our temps are suppose to go up again next week. Check in now and then.

Debi said...

great photos, John! we finally have winter weather. not much snow, just cold that withers your soul. lol what a pretty dog. I bet he was a great companion. food looks good, and I make a soup exactly like yours except ham chunks instead of hot dog. nothing like a hearty soup to keep a body healthy! as a lover of an organized wood pile..haha...looking good. hope all is well. take care, Debi

Bushrat John said...

Thanks Deb, cold has set in here as well. Kayak was a great dog, any kind of home made soup is good. Stacking wood gives me room to do other things. Take care
