Today's this and that sort of ramble

Today was a gorgeous, but slightly cold kind of day. With all the warm weather we'd been getting the weeds have started sprouting up. Hubs and Son got the yard mostly back in order today, but before they had a chance to whack down all the weeds, Littlest went out and picked me a nosegay of dandelions and henbit. She's such a sweet and sentimental little thing. And when you get up close to these weeds, they really are beautiful, aren't they?



I made this soup again, but this time I eliminated the added salt since there's already a lot in the smoked Gouda cheese and the bacon bits. Didn't miss it at all! Son and Hubs went on and on about the soup. Please forgive me for tooting my own horn, but it really is good! It's very smoky cheese/bacony-flavored, so don't let all that added spinach fool you. It does not taste green, but you get the benefit of it!

I was pretty lazy today except for doing (say it with me) dishes and laundry. I actually did a bit of card making, but haven't finished anything yet.

We've been playing with our new Salad Shooter lately. It grates cheese so easily! I absolutely hate shredding cheese because I get my knuckles in there, too. And who wants to eat someone's knuckles, I ask you? The food processor works, too, but it's not as much fun. ;)

Anyone remember the old Salad Shooter commercial?



We watched Calamity Jane with Doris Day on Netflix for our family movie night. It was a great movie, but we did have to fast forward through a few parts because of the outfits the ladies sometimes wore. Just a bit too skimpy for our tastes. Doris Day was amazingly energetic. Good grief! Can I have some of that energy, please? She was young, I am not. That explains it.

This is my favorite part because I love the domesticity of it:



Well, gotta go. Blessings on your Sunday!
