This was the first sunny weekend we’ve had in awhile and we celebrated by getting out to the trails and getting caught up with much needed yard work. And a trip to Trader Joe’s for new vegan finds such as this delicious Spicy Lentil Wrap with Spicy Tahini Sauce. It was a quick find for […]
Wintery Eats for the List
Still raining this weekend and making it tough to find motivation to leave the house. We need it, sure, but I could use a dry sunny weekend! We’re appreciating this view too though. I have been trying to counter the gray days with colorful eats such as veggie fried rice, turmeric noodle soups with soy […]
Getting Colorful for the List
March is here, already. Whoa. And still very much winter with wild weather. There was a break in the rain to get outside for a bit today. Then we got caught in a wild hail storm while shopping. Not complaining, all the rain and snow we can get is a great thing. Trying to keep […]
Winter Madness for the List
The weather has been a little crazy in California again, strong winds, colder than usual temps, snow flurries, hail, and lots of rain. Not complaining and taking the opportunity to rest at home while we’re getting rid of this bug and work on house projects. And enjoy the scenery when mother nature takes a break. […]
Recovering for the List
I am here and recovering from something that has been going on for 10 days now. Not COVID, at least according to the many home tests. But a stuffy, annoying respiratory thing with congestion, headaches, and lacking energy. Super Bowl Sunday and Valentine’s Day were kind of a bust because of it, but I have […]
Rain and Fun Eats for the List
Whoa, Sunday again. We need longer weekends, but I am optimistic for a good week ahead. The rain and clouds came back today, but we were able to get some outdoor time before and seeing wildlife enjoying the very full lakes and ponds. My goal for this year is to get to a healthier place […]
Fun Weekend Outings for the List
I have been enjoying mostly dry weather this week after repeated winter storms, but still lots of full ponds and pretty clouds on outdoor walks. And had a nice lunch on Old Town Sacramento today to celebrate a special family birthday, eat vegan enchiladas, and take in how full the rivers still are currently! Last […]
Winter Weather Eats for the List
Things are still chaotic here with the winter storms California is getting pounded with the last few weeks. I’m not complaining and thankful for the much needed rain for the state. Maybe getting a little tired of staying in on the weekends and ready to get out for some sunshine. And a little sad to […]
Back At It for the List
I’m here and trying to smoothly transition into 2023 after some down time. We’ve been hunkering mostly at home when not working while getting so much rain and storms the last couple of weeks. That’s glorious, we need all the rain. But seeing a bit of wind damage and debris from gusts up to 60 […]
Wrapping up 2022 for the List
I’m here and have been enjoying a few days of being lazy and unmotivated. The holidays are such an interesting time that seems to end rapidly after weeks of buildup. I’m not complaining, instead enjoying a week of furlough that comes with my new job. In the past I rarely took additional time off for […]
