I have some likes today and some “not so much”!
I like this list I found on Facebook. ⤴️
And this one too!⤵️
It’s cold here this week! Some snow and frosty trees. The trees are pretty, but the streets are icy!
Not a good photo out the back door. But the tree in our neighbor’s backyard is sure pretty!
It was 18 degrees when I took these photos!
Some not likes:
Our local elections did not go my way! Not surprising! It’s hard to be Blue in this Red,Red state!
My SIL unfriended me on FB, because I responded to a meme she posted! That makes me sad! We should be able to have dialogue about issues and ideals! I assure you, I wasn’t mean! I just asked her to consider the less fortunate in our country. 🤷♂️
I’m struggling with learning to knit socks. I’m supposed to have 8 inches done to show the teacher today at Thursday Stitchers.
Oh oh! Hope I don’t get an “F”!
Prompt= Apple Cider
I like Apple Cider donuts from the grocery store. I don’t have any to show you, but let me say, they are yummy!
I like bottled apple cider warmed to almost hot! Sipping it is a good cold chaser! A clear cup like the photo at the top of the page would be fun! So pretty, too!
I have used this instant brand. It’s easy and probably more economical for just Mr Busy and me!
The only way I’ve used cider in cooking, is using a bit when I braise pork chops, with onions and apple slices! Just intensifies the flavor! No recipe, I’m just wing it!
I hope some other I LIKE contributors have some recipes to share!
I like the views out your windows on that frosty day, Judy! It's pretty, but makes you thankful for a warm home and for quilts. I'm sorry about your SIL and Facebook. We have a few family members with opposite views, too, and sometimes it's hard not to respond. Good luck with your knitting today! I was struggling with some crochet last night, too.
ReplyDeleteHi Judy! Brrr! 18 degrees. Holy moly that is chilly and early for such cold, maybe? I hate to say it but today we are 75 with sunshine. The cold comes tonight with temperatures only in the 20s tomorrow. Yikes. That's a cold snap, huh?!! I often think about being blue in a red state or vice versa. It seems the world keeps on spinning in spite of the election, and we all survived a few presidents that we wondered how we could. When I think of the people of Georgia having to have another election in December, I wonder how the turnout will be. Will it really reflect the voice of its residents? I guess if they care enough to have a voice, it will be reflected. There are some states that I just could not move to based on their continued politics. In fact, I often wonder what I'm doing in Wisconsin although we're a swing state. You just never know if we're going to be red or blue or purple! Purple - wouldn't that be nice - everyone getting along respectfully yet perhaps disagreeing. Only in my dreams, I guess. Good luck with your eight inches for the sock!! And I'm sorry to hear about your Facebook SIL unfriend. Seriously? You are still family, whether she likes it or not. Good grief. Life is too short for that stuff. {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteI love frosted trees! We had snow but it melted in the sun the following day. Supposed to have some last night but nope. pork braised with cider sounds great, well, I'm now unable to eat pork or beef but it sounds great.
ReplyDeleteIt's not right that a group of Americans doesn't understand disagreement on issues is to be expected. We can't run a family expecting everyone to agree, much less a multi million person country!
I'm blue with you, unapologetically pro democracy and protecting the rights of all.
Less stress! I need that. Snow! I'm not ready for that (although we may get flurries next week).
ReplyDeleteAt a church where I used to work, we had a crockpot with hot apple cider going almost every day - I got sick of it but I'm always ready for it again every year. Brrrr on the temperatures! That snow is pretty.
ReplyDeleteAwww so sorry about the SIL - mine hasn't spoken to me since 2010 for other reasons; it's such a waste, I miss her. I get how you feel being blue in a red state, because I am red amongst a sea of blue bloggers - lol! But fortunately most are like you - kind and accepting. At least one is not, so I just avoid her blog. ;)
You are the second one to mention apple cider donuts which sound delicious. Never heard of them before. Snow makes for pretty photos like yours. I like those memes you shared and also the fact you are trying to knit socks, something I only talk about. I too am sorry about your SIL, what a waste of our precious time here is what I think. I love your country- you are like our big brother, the one that will stick up for us. LOL
ReplyDeleteJudy, I understand how tough it can be when local elections don’t go your way. I too am blue in a very red state. Luckily, we quilters are accepting of each other because our love of quilting (and sharing with others) is our common color!
