Blog Post #100! or Happy New Year! or Blizzard!

It's been more than 3 months since I've paid any attention to my blog. I have more time in the summer for such things. Today we're in the midst of a blizzard and so I'm nesting. Knitting and baking cookies and taking pictures of the blizzard through the living room window. I haven't so much as poked my nose outside today. Working at putting seasonal ornaments away too. Back to school on Monday. I've been on holiday since December 18 but I was sick with the flu for most of this time. Down and out for 8 days straight and still not feeling 100% yet. Enough of that. Now for the photos!


This was taken after our last snow at the end of December. I added it because it's
the same as one of the photos from my last post, except it's the snowy version.



Ginger Sparkles, the updated recipe. The original had shortening but I use oil instead. Who uses shortening anymore? I've never kept it on my shelf. Anyway, I always loved these cookies. They remind me of my Grampie Noonan. It seemed there were always some of these at his house. Tasty with tea!

The blizzard through the front window. It's been snowing and blowing all day. Temperature -11C
