Froze Hard

Bleeding heart bush, third plant to bloom this spring





















Good thing I got this photo, because last night we had a serious freeze. Today the bush is drooping, hangdog, a broken shell of a plant.

Done work for the day, about to go outside in the cold sun with a travel mug full of hot tea.

But first:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LI'L SIS!

Isn't she cute? Turns 43 today, if I'm not mistaken






















Everett made you something:

We'll eat them for you





















Here's the recipe he used:

Chocolate Chews

1 c milk
1 c cocoa
4 c brown sugar
3 c peanut butter
3 c oatmeal

Preheat oven to 325F.
Mix milk and cocoa. Add remaining ingredients. Put one-inch balls on greased cookie sheet.
Bake 20 minutes.
When warm they will seem almost toffee-like on the inside; when cool, they are chewy.
