Bagels and Blizzards

The bagels are formed, proofing and the toppings are ready

my favorite bagel baker

OMG these are great on a wintery day

My commute to work today

Susie in her red parka and her friend Jerry

Jerry's friend Larry

I made a little heated home with a window and a solar light.  

We'll see if Larry likes it.

T took the skis out twice.  

With a delicious bagel break in between  .

After checking out the sugar bush, I skied down the middle of the gravel road....

No traffic today.

Tonight's cocktail

Colletti Royale and that was pretty dam good too.

I like snow days.

 

This is how we prepare for the next snow storm...

I hiked a ravine that no deer would ever traverse  

I ve been here before and it's interesting to see how things change over a short time

I skied but better snow is on the way

dress for success and warmth

Susie hiked with her friend Jerry

our new friend Larry

I can't believe it but I found this little dead head in some set a side.

nothing much but I'm on the board

a clover club 

 and last nights Blood Sage with Susie's Bagel dough that she's baking off today

Yum

Keeping busy to battle off the winter doldrums.

Some quick decorating in Dubuque.  Isn't she lovely?

At Home too

David provided the cribbage board for Jubeck's

John and Jimmy are still on tour down in Florida,  Heather and I sent them some good vibes

their way.

Ryan, Jack and I had a good hike 

And Susie made some lovely carrot cake cupcakes 

Emily made sure no one was getting her cupcake

Prior to our pork tostadas 

Which cocktail image do you like better?

 

Welcome to 2023 - Take a hike

I've racked up a few miles 

in search of shed antler piles

someone back in the day thought the big bucks would be in this neck of the woods

always looking for some sign

there are lots of things that distract me when I'm hiking

no sheds so I grabbed some cress and wet a line on big mill.

the bite was good after the rain yesterday.

After some at home yoga, Susie choose the Aviation as our cocktail before our omelet.  

Our Aviation made with Empress 1908 gin
