My daughter Natalie and I were stocking up on baking needs for the Holiday Season and were discussing putting a new twist on old favorites. She suggested I make some cookies with dried apricots. So that I did...and added slivered almonds. This Sugar Cookie recipe even though with the ingredients sounds like they would be very sweet, but they are not.
If you like more of a almond taste use almond extract, I did both.
The sun warmed up a bit took till afternoon so now time to haul wood. All has it's place the large shed off the deck across the lawn full of wood for when it gets really cold, new 20X6X6 shed on corner of prop trey almost full...So I needed to bring over the wood cut 3 years ago stacked on pallets to the deck, will burn great..
A least I didn't handle it 2 times in one day------took me 3 years!!!
MEMA AND THE GIRLS
Took time out to ride over to my daughters and load up my two angles for a ride threw the snow... Was a quick trip in the house threw their shoes and coats on and off we went. I love to surprise them no plans just show up and go--------
It is always so pure and clean the fist day of snow. The late morning skies are a painting on canvas that draws you out side to take in all the beauty.
Saturday afternoon on October 20th we drove to the beach on the wheeler in search for the perfect piece of driftwood, the air crisp and the sun warm.
Took the ride out to the head waters while Reb ran threw the small breaking waves as far as our journey took us. Happy and content Reb loaded up. Heading up the hill from the beach threw a friends property and home then across the road and threw the woods we went.
Today Sunday we will journey there again. Must take the time to enjoy the sunny afternoons while the temperature hits above freezing.
Last days of Alaska Sun shared with Larry the mascot from Bikerworlds on his visit to Alaska with me.
As I sit here this chili morning with the fire crackling and the glow filling the room I found myself going threw art work and photos.
This painting I did was a few years ago. It still at this time is not completed it and maybe that it is the way this one should remain. A remembrance of all things in life are forever changing including what I painted before my eyes at that time.
I do not have it in my possession at the time and one day it may be returned.
I am proud to support our troops and I am honnered to of had my family protect my freedom.
