My potato peeler

A snowy picture from Saturday's walk.

A nice walk in the sun yesterday morning but this morning the sun was nowhere to be seen.  It was 42 degrees, rainy and at times very windy.  I didn't even take my camera out of my pocket, just too wet.

I was decked out in my rain gear and walked all over town.  Walking around the cemetery at the top of the hill and out in the open was a bit of an adventure.  I felt like I was in a squall.  The rain came down in sheets and the gusty wind blowing so strong practically knocking me over.  After that the rain eased up a bit and it wasn't so bad.

There are just a few patches of snow left here and there and with this rain today even they will be gone.

I saw my first Robin this year - a sure sign that spring is on it's way.  : )

Walked 6 miles.
Found a couple of coins - a penny and a nickel.

Later in the day the rain went away and it was sunny though the temperature dipped a little bit lower into the 30's.

I've been home today hanging around the house. 
Now I'm reading Go Set a Watchman by Harper Lee.  I'm about three quarters  finished and should finish it tonight.  It is supposed to be a sequel to To Kill a Mockingbird.  Not as good but pretty good. 
One of my granddaughters is named after Scout in the book.

The last time I made pot roast for supper we only ate half of it and I froze the rest.  I put it in the slow cooker all day to thaw and it was even better the second time.  I made mashed potatoes and gravy and we had some peas too. 

While peeling potatoes I got to thinking about this little kitchen tool and realized just how old my potato peeler is and what a handy thing it is.  I bought it when we first got married 44 years ago.  My daughter was peeling potatoes at the house one time years ago and was amazed that I still was using the same one from when she was a little girl.  She said it was dull and hard to use.  Next time I saw her she gave me a new one, but it didn't swivel and I didn't like it at all and went back to my old one.  I like this simple kitchen tool. : )  I wonder how many, potatoes, apples and carrots it has peeled over the years!?

And so another Monday winds down.
Hope yours was a good one and you smiled often.

happyone : )

 Happy Leap Day.

A day where this time last year

and this time next year
