We celebrated Valentines Day this week. We figure most of you did too, and just in case you still don't have windows, we included some ice pictures from around The Acre.
We start off at the end of the week. The ice caused massive power outages in the area, but we are geared to live like the Waltons so we didn't skip a beat. We had a big pot of beans started before they turned off the juice to us, and we always have cornbread with our beans. The generator had enough juice for the crock pot, but to work the electric griddle we had to go without kitchen lights. Cornbread pancakes is what we had.
Home made coleslaw to top it all off.
We enjoyed another pecan pie.
Lawman whipped up a pizza for dinner one night. From scratch, none of that frozen pizza from the store but "I baked it at home, so it's home made" jazz from Crazy Granny.
About once a week, we roast green coffee beans for the coming week. We've almost dialed in the perfect bean.
Sunday it started to warm up and the ice began to fall off the trees, so we decided to take the DTs for a walk and check out how many trees were damaged. Cupcake, being the "Voodoo" chick was saying how she hoped none of the trees fell while we were down by the ponds. And at that very moment, a big ass branch fell right behind us and blocked the road.
So far, it's just really pretty. We will probably be singing a different tune come spring.
