Waking to a Winter Wonderland

 
Woke up to a snow-covered farm this morning!
Puppies’ first snow!
They didn’t seem bothered by it at all – went about their usual morning business and play.

I’m just very glad that it’s a Saturday and I don’t have to drive to work. Yes, it may only be a few inches on the ground… but [...]

Napping in the Bathtub

So we’ve had some terribly strong wind today at the farm. A bad part of living on top of a hill by the mountains. The worst part is that my already-anxious dog, Sheff, is scared to death of strong winds.
I started getting text messages at work this morning saying
“your dog is hiding in [...]

Post Thanksgiving Message

Happy Black Sunday!

That’s our lovely table set for Thanksgiving meal. Good food had by all 10 of us at the farm!

Turkey – I will say that we wanted and attempted to purchase a locally raised turkey… but the $90 turkey breast we came across was a little out of our league :(
Cranberry Sauce
My “Gourmet [...]

TGIF!

Greetings y’all!
Sorry I’ve been so bad about posting this week. It’s been a busy week – Sheff and I have both been sick, and going to be real early. I wish I could blog at work, when I’m sitting there with nothing to do!
So glad the weekend is here! I had planned to have the [...]

Weekend in Nashville!

Sheff and I took a road trip to Nashville for the weekend, celebrating The Boy and I’s 6 month anniversary.
It was absolutely beautiful weather all weekend – mid 70s in mid November!?!?! I remember this time last year it was already down into the 30s and 40s. We were so lucky!
I was really [...]

Perfect Weather Weekend

What happens when 5 dietitian friends get together for the weekend?
“Eat bowls of leaves” was The Boy’s idea. This, of course, is related to the fact that we enjoy our leafy green vegetables, and prefer them in salads to the nutritional-weakling that is iceberg lettuce.
But no, salads were not the mainstay of this weekend.
Friday Night:
Sheff [...]

Domestic Thursday

I’ve done lots of house cleaning today after work… getting ready for the intern reunion this weekend at the farm!! 5 former interns, now RDs, are meeting up for a weekend of fun and catching up!
Went gymming after work for some interval training on the treadmill and a few weights. I try to jump [...]

Happy

Some things to be happy about today:

The sun was out while I got ready for work! Made it much easier to enjoy cooking breakfast (fried egg on pesto toasted sandwich thin…) before work
Being recognized by one of the hospital’s nurse practitioners on the floors today. Yay for not being invisible, and my new diet order [...]

Welcome November!

Can y’all believe that it’s already November?!?
I had a great weekend with my college roommate / best friend. It was a great weekend, and so much better than sitting here by myself for Halloween!
Friday night was seriously spooky. Felt like Halloween had come early. The weather had been pretty windy all afternoon, and it only [...]

4 month anniversary of leaving Nashville :( and coming to the farm :)

Beautiful fall weather!
