Coffee anyone ?

[thistlebloom]

I hear ya about staying in and keeping warm. And I'm not even sick!
Cloudy, cold and blah outside so I'm sticking to the couch closest to the wood stove.
Went to church this morning, feeling somber and unsettled. I stayed and manned the coffee counter for 2nd service. It was good to see all who were there, got to share some laughs with friends and was reminded that my hope does not reside in governments and earthly powers.
Like the account of Daniel and his three companions, we will resolve to do right no matter the outcome.
And thanks for the coffee! Also, whichever of you is using up all the half-n-half, how about saving me a little!

Yawn... pretty warm here,hence the heavy thick snow:

My barn:

That is a beautiful scene Alaskan! I know the snow is the same depth as your previous pictures, but throw some blue sky and sunshine in there and it changes the whole mood.

@thistlebloom I drink my coffee black, straight up! So another has their grubbies on the cream.. I do use it in my hot tea, not having that this morn -- your safe!

@Baymule glad you feel a little better -- leave the cream alone! -- take it easy, animals will be fine, just make you feel guilty! Hey, it WAS 20 out there at my place. Like you, let the others think it's ok, we know better. . Older I get, the colder I get.

Wouldn’t you know it, when I went out to feed this evening, it started raining. Really? I ran through chores and got back inside. I can barely talk, throat is like raw hamburger meat. DH is the same, but he still feels bad. I’m ready for this mess to go away.

Doesn't feel like fun... push lots of fluid.

Maybe a soothing hot tea with gobs of honey will help that throat.

@Baymule , I make garlic tea for us when we start feeling any crud coming on. A fat clove of garlic smashed and put into a mug and steeped in hot water for at least 15 minutes. Add a spoonful of good honey and a slosh of lemon juice before drinking.
Also, as you know and are probably doing, gargling with some acv in water will help the throat too.

 

[Baymule]

Yeah, doing that. Also hot chicken broth with lots of garlic and ginger.
Pouring down rain! Thunder and lightning, Trip was begging at the window so I let him in. Carson came in too. It’s supposed to clear off and be sunny this afternoon!
Coffee is ready, sure is good this morning.

Rain here today, also.. sprinkle now but, coming heavier by noon and until late evening. Evening chores should be a mess.

Coffee is on.
Freezing rain then snow... fortunately brought firewood in yesterday. It's been so mild Richie started blowing his coat.... perhaps he correct and spring will be early. Good for the critters, but very good for the insects... happy Monday and have a great week.
