Easing into the New Year...
mulling over some goals and ideas
making a few intentions
not necessarily resolutions
confirming if they are reasonable, attainable and worth considering.
Have you made any resolutions for twenty twenty?
The view on my walk earlier this week on a beautiful sunny day.
December Hollyhocks in bloom on a street near the Humble Bungalow.
The eagle has landed!
There are frequently two bald eagles perched up in the tree...
On
New Years Day
a few people walking past the tree
stopped to look up and admire this majestic bird.
Speaking of looking up...
A Single Star
made out of tin
hangs above the sink in The Humble Bungalow.
Different from the
Stars
that sparkle and twinkle up above
in the night sky.
Do you remember this poem about Stars from your childhood?
The rains have started and they'll be with us for awhile.
Cenotaph near Cattle Point in the Uplands area of Victoria.
Glimpsed as we walked by on our morning walk.
I don't know any food more comforting
except a bowl of soup on a cold rainy day.
Homemade Tomato Soup
I roasted several pounds of fresh tomatoes
diced onions
5 cloves of minced garlic
in a shallow pan with some olive oil
400 degree oven for 45 minutes
I popped them all in a pot
added a tetra pack of veggie stock
put it on to simmer.
Then I used the immersion blender to blend it all.
Salt and Pepper to taste.
Currently reading The Rocks by Peter Nichols.
Going to pop the kettle on soon and brew a pot of tasty Murchies Chestnut Tea.
Will light the candle and read for a bit.
How is your New Year looking so far?
What are you reading?
