The Christmas tree and fairy lights
we've added a few festive touches.
Our decorating has happened much sooner than usual.
Spending most of our time in The Humble Bungalow during the pandemic
has made us much more aware of our surroundings and we need more Cheer!
Snow capped Mount Baker in the background at Willows Beach.
Walking along the sandy beach listening to the sound of the waves
gulls calling as they fly overhead.
Walking under sunny skies is preferable to the rain...
unfortunately
there is rain in the forecast for most of the week
so I will don my new red raincoat and grab a brolly...
Needs Must!
Cooking through Covid is helping me stay focused on comfort food.
Why not make a soothing meal each night for dinner?
Ina has hit the ball right out of the park with this timely cookbook.
The Ultimate Beef Stew recipe is full of flavour and makes a big batch.
Leftovers can easily be frozen for a future meal.
While this stew was simmering in the oven our Bungalow
sumptuous scents wafted out from the dutch oven.
We were extra hungry by the time it was ready to sit down to dinner!
This wonderfully written book is transporting me back to Tuscany.
Its a delight to read...thank goodness for armchair travel!
Mr HB is busy building our deer fence.
He installed the 3 panels this past weekend.
The tall cedar posts will be cut down and capped.
Hopefully
Our roses out front should be safer next Spring and Summer.
We listened to Dr. Bonnie Henry's announcement yesterday and learned that the Covid cases here in BC are showing no bend in the curve...
We are not allowed to gather with friends or family inbdoors or outside.
Fines will be issued if we do not obey the rules.
Christmas will be only allowed for the family that live under one roof...
so we will need to be creative
meet up remotely via Zoom or FaceTime.
In good news the vaccines are on their way!
How are you holding up during the pandemic?
What are you reading?
Have you decorated earlier than usual for the festive season?
Stay Safe
