Winter

December is always a a busy time in our family - 3 birthdays, followed by Christmas. A week later there's New Years and a week later it's Linda's birthday. There are lots of photos to process so I'm behind on posting things.

Winter of course brings snow, and although the most recent storm didn't bring Flagstaff much snow, the very cold temperatures have kept the snow from melting. The San Francisco Peaks have kept the snow in the trees for longer than usual after a storm. This photo was taken from near my office last Friday afternoon.

One of the joys of winter is winter food, and there just isn't anything better for winter food than a big pot of pea soup. I love the way Linda makes it - thick enough to stand the ladle up in the pot! When you pair it with a slice of fresh bread made with Waldkorn flour, and real butter, it just doesn't get any better.

This was supper last night. Not only was it wonderful, but it gets better with age so the leftovers will be even better!
