Pea Soup



I had a friend in high school whose nick-name was Pea Soup - but this is not about him. Our winter has extended so far - and snow had been predicted for today - that I decided to make pea soup with the ham bone from Easter. A great warm cozy meal for a cold day. Got up this morning and started it right off in the Crock Pot. Then the temp. proceeded to rise. Hubby and I decided to take a day for ourselves and go riding over the frost heaves of Western Maine. After sufficiently jostling our insides for several hours we arrived home with the temp at 53 F!!! and had our soup and "johnny cake" which had been planned for the cold day we were expecting. It was delicious, and we really enjoyed it as I don't make it often.



Almost finished the "Sox" socks as we rode. Will photo them when done. We saw several barns and other buildings that have collapsed under the weight of this winter's unusual snowfalls. We have managed to keep enough off our roof that we have no worries there.



Today I recieved in the mail a watch face that I have been waiting for. The band has been woven and waiting for a week or so. The pic shows all the parts and I'll photo the finished watch soon.



Enough for today. Have a great one!
