I Like Thursday #272

 It's cold and snowy here and I like this view out my window.  Reminds me to be thankful for my warm house, stocked fridge, and the indoor things I love to do.

This is soup weather, and I really like this vegetable soup we found at Costco.  It comes in two containers, so I shared one with a friend.

Another favorite "must have" for me is Sprouts peanut butter.  It's just peanuts, freshly ground.  You can get creamy or chunky, salted or unsalted.  Yum!

This is also good reading weather, and I've been enjoying Lightning Strike, by William Kent Krueger.  He's a favorite author of mine, and his book, This Tender Land, was the Loveland Loves to Read book for 2020.  Of course, he was supposed to come and give an author talk in both 2020, and in 2021, but it was cancelled due to Covid concerns.  Someday I hope to hear him speak about his books!

In my To-Do Tuesday post I showed a star block I was making for my Stay at Home Round Robin project that I wasn't sure had enough contrast.  So yesterday, I pulled out a strip of a Kona solid fabric in a burgundy shade and tried  a couple stars made that way.   Oh, yes - much better!

It's supposed to be pretty cold today - maybe a high of 20 degrees - so you can find me wrapped up in a quilt, sipping a hot beverage, and visiting the "I Like Thursday" posts over at Not Afraid of Color!   See you there!
