~ Skies ~ Crab ~ Elk ~ Tortilla Chips ~

Good 32º morning. No storm as predicted. No snow yet.
It was supposed to start at 4pm yesterday and storm
hard until 4am. Come on..................

Great skies... took thse Tuesday evening at 5pm

and then yesterday afternoon at 2pm

and then again at 3pm... just a drizzle was coming down

on the mountain....

So, went to Medford yesterday for my Excel class.

Now to practice. There is so much to Excel, it's amazing.

On the way home I got corn snow!

Came home and stacked wood on the porch and then

unloaded a bag of cracked corn, a bag of Nyjer seed,

and a bag of wild birdseed. Back killer. Sat with a glass

of wine and recovered.

Then I tackled the crab .... It was clean, as Patty had

scrubbed it~!  So I cracked it and cut it and (tasting as I went!)

got all the meat out. Of course Harley was as close as he

could get, and did get some tastes...

Then I sauteéd broccoli and grape tomatoes in my infused

garlic/onion olive oil... salt and pepper and then topped with

a grated cheese blend....

I melted butter and added fresh lemon juice and poured

that over the crab. It was HEAVEN!!!!! THANK YOU PATTY

AND CLIFF!!!!!!!  xooxoxoxxoooxox

A snuggy fire, glass of wine, chair (Brian always called a recliner

a "chair of death" because you can never stay awake!), comforter,

cat in lap, ahhhhhhhhhhhhh..................... nice. Watched some TV.

The world is getting crazier by the moment. And that

Lindsay Lohan thing is a circus. Poor folks who have to deal with

all that. Good to be so far removed.

Brian and Jen and the troops said they are feeling better. Yeah.

All I know. Will be making birthday cards today and working on

my Excel stuff.......

Don't have to plan dinner, I have crab and chicken soup in the

fridge.  Looks like all around me it has snowed...

.... and in Klamath Falls.... ICK
