The chicken is stewing in a tomato-citrus sauce (I know, weird sounding, but so good!). The cauliflower is roasting. The salad is ready.
And I'm ready as well. But how can this be? Through vast swatches of your life you run, run to make it to the end of the day and suddenly, you need run no more? Can't we invent a more balanced approach to the span of life?
Fanciful thinking. I know that. But how can you not feel guilty for having time to do all that needs to be done when others are panting to get to the finish line?
So let me not belabor it -- it was a day of getting things done, slowly, methodically, thoroughly.
Starting with breakfast.
Onto errands (big item: finding cat food that Isis might like), while the snow covered the roads and fields around me.
Then home again.
And that's it for today. I'm feeling too mellow to grind through details. I'll save those for the days ahead.

I like this post a lot...for its simple pleasures of the day. And for that beautiful last photo of the sheepshed. Safe travels. ox
ReplyDeleteLoved this post. I can so relate about finding a cat food your cat will like. Bailey likes the pate type. The other stuff he licks the gravy and leaves the shreds.
ReplyDeleteWe feed Thomas Boar's Head Everroast chicken and low sodium roast beef from the deli. It's actually cheaper than canned cat food, as he gobbles every morsel - no waste! He goes through about a pound a week, so about $10 worth. Plus, it doesn't smell awful like all the cat foods do and there are no weird additives or byproducts involved. Isis may take to it as well.
ReplyDeleteCorrection: What I meant was that I really liked the last photo of the barn!
ReplyDeleteCatching up with you, and would love the recipe for the tomato citrus sauce! Enjoy your travels, looks amazing.
