Friday: I woke up this morning with a small but distinct agenda--I was to cut up a large broccoli into very small pieces, do the same with a large head of cauliflower, add to that 1C of chopped red onion, 1/2 pound of chopped bacon, 1/2 C of chopped pecans and a half cup of golden raisins before making the very delicious dressing that I would stir into this huge salad--because tonight there was supposed to be a "gathering" of our Calvary class that included a potluck dinner. I was just about finished cutting up all of the vegetables when I received a text from the class social leader informing me that the social had been cancelled due to the winter advisory we were under.
My first thought: "What on earth am I going to do with this huge salad and no one to serve it to?" I still haven't answered that question at 7pm tonight. I have a mind to put it into small disposable containers and see if any of my neighbors want to enjoy this very delicious salad. I haven't decided.
I finished making the salad, added the dressing, and it is now chilling overnight in my refrigerator. I admit I felt rather downhearted for the first hour after receiving notice of the cancellation; but then I realized how selfish this was of me and turned instead to giving thanks that I didn't have to drive in bad weather tonight. It has been snowing all day. It is very beautiful when it is new snow!
Midway through my day, I noticed many beautiful birds visiting my feeders. I had the usual blue jays (four of them!) and a few woodpeckers too. I decided to snap a few pictures of this cute little white throated sparrow who spent a long time at my window feeder:
