COUNTRY ROADS

I took the camera with me this morning when I walked along the road adjacent to where live. This is a quiet country road with developments like ours along one side indicating the city boundaries, and quiet farms and fields along the other side of the road which is the county boundary.
I know  I commented on a prvious blog that all is ugly and grim this time of year and this is true for the most part but still one can find something interesting to photograph. 
The day has a spring feel but I was a little fooled as there was a little wind and it was nippy. I really needed to have my little snuggy little cap on and a warmer hoodie. When I returned home I had flushed cheeks, a cold drippy nose and my clothes had that wonderful smell  like sheets brought in from the clothesline. 


We made reservations this morning at Spirit Mountain Casino resort for a couple of nights in February. We have not been there for about ten years. When we lived in Portland we would go occasionally in our motor coach and stay in their RV parking area. By the looks of the place on their web page it is enormous now it has really expanded. The rooms look wonderful very luxurious. We reserved a top floor corner king room with a view of the fountain and courtyard. I think it will be a fun time for us as we have not been to Casino for a long time. We are not big gamblers but do enjoy a gambling on rare occasion.


We will dine this evening on the chicken noodle soup we enjoyed last night. I made a large pot as I usually do as I do enjoy a cook free night sometimes. I will make those cheesy biscuits to go with dinner tonight however. I have fun making them they are so easy and very simple. I have posted the recipe for those in the past.


Last night I put my menu together for the next seven days. I will shop tomorrow for all ingredients.
I am anxious to try "Garden veggie Linguine with Cilantro pesto." A simple recipe and quite a healthy dish. It is a very pretty dish according to the picture.
I am also making spinach lasagna one evening. A stir fry with rice, salmon fish and chips and a German meal. So lots on the agenda. Of course we will repeat some meals as we will have leftovers. I am so lucky that my hubby does not mind leftovers in fact he looks forward to them. Some of my gal pal's have told me the men in their lives will not eat leftovers, what a shame.
A easy good for meal right in the middle of that agenda will be bakers stuffed with salad and homemade ranch style dressing. I will probably be a little bad and fry a couple slices of bacon to crumble over the tops.
We are not doing anything for Super Bowl as hubby will be working a long day and I will not even put the telly on. I could care less about the NFL. However if my husband was home I would watch with him and we would have game fare.


Well I want to sketch a little this afternoon on a rendering of a European village crawling down a cliff. I find it very relaxing to sit at the dining room table and draw. It is a bright room with a large window over looking our garden spot. Of course this time of year nothing is growing out there except for weeds. But it is fun to watch the squirrels dig holes in the raised beds and hide their nuts. Not to fun to watch the neighborhood cats do their thing in the garden beds but if I am sitting there I can at least tap on the window and scare them away.


Have a nice day even the day is boring(like here) it is nice sometimes to just veg out.
