We having a heat wave. YAHOO!

Where are we today ?
      We are having a heat wave. Mind you it is all relative compared to the -30f temps we have been having was -13 C this morning (8f) and got to -1c (30f) this is awesome! Sun shining, blue skies and can tell its gonna get much better soon. Spring only 18 days away now!
      Looking for a project this morning and checked out the freezer here. A whole mess of frozen cherries. Hmm  I can do something with these.  Found a container frozen enough for a pie. So thawed them out and made some cherry tarts. For the recipe I used you can click here or my sidebar recipe blog its there, so simple to make. Suzie took one for her mom at the hospital and she ate the whole thing, more than she has eaten for a while.
this made a dozen 3 inch tarts and 4 small dishes
with just the pie filling
     Once Suzie took here Dad to the hospital I ran to the Rv and picked up a few supplies, Passing a bunch of snowmobilers taking advantage of the milder weather and sunny sunday on the trails. This group had 12 sleds altogether. Having a great time.
soon their season will be done
      I managed to get to the indoor walking track but only 1.5 miles today. That was after an hour of shovelling and blowing snow to make a walkaway to the back of the house here, with over 2 feet of snow. Want to get it done before the spring thaw and snow gets too heavy to move.
     Then as Suzie heads home I can whip up supper. Couple shrimp burgers we had in the freezer (from somewhere south), fresh asparagus on the grill and another tasty salad. Have missed using our Weber Q. Too cold for a while.
of course it was tasty, on our Q
      Pretty nice Sunday and we are enjoying the milder weather. Like I said spring will soon be here.
      Thanks again for stopping by.

  5. Imagine that our Palm Springs weather matched BC coastal weather. It rained all day, yesterday, and the temperature equaled the +11C temperature in Vancouver, BC. No complaints though.....as the snow can only be seen on top of Mt. San Jacinto and Mt. San Gorgonio.

    1. I can imagine, and seeing the snow in the mountains is ok too. Wish we had mountains here for the snow to go to.
