Hello Friends. Welcome to today's post. Just to let you know, this post is actually a few weeks late. Somehow it got lost in the shuffle and I never hit the publish button so please forgive me for my goof. Here it is now for you to enjoy.
We are halfway into January and work has called us out again.
We left home with snow on the ground and I'll be dog gone we got some more snow where we are. I guess God wanted to show us more of his beauty in this Winter Wonderland in the Bayou.
This happened at few days after we arrived. Good thing we were all snuggled in our little cottage.
We love to stay here when we come to LA. We rent a little cottage and I make it as homey as possible.
When we arrived I was looking for my little friend I made here 3 yrs ago and he did not disappoint. He came right to me as he always did since I always fed him out of my hand. I named him Petey but his name is Pretty Boy.
When you get the chance, Google Hemingbough in St. Francisville, LA. We are staying on the grounds in one of the cottages. However, it is under new management and so many great changes and renovations are coming.
There is not a lot to do in this area. Baton Rouge is just 30 to 40 minutes down the road. I brought plenty of things for me to do to keep me busy. This is one of my sewing places. That means I bring my sewing machines and some projects with me that I want to do or that need to be done. I need to make some more pj bottoms for the oldest granddaughter because she is getting so tall just like her Daddy. I have a few projects I want to sew for myself and one or two for dear hubby. Yep, I am no stranger to sewing men's button-up dress shirts. That is on my projects list.
I brought some more things with me as well.
Welcome to the family. A new hydroponics system. Yep, I brought it with me so I can have some greenery and a garden vibe in the winter by starting some fresh herbs to cook with. ðŠī ðą ðŋ
This one is a 12 pod so I can grow more in one system. If you are interested, it is in our Amazon Store (linked below), and it is on my Gardening Essentials List. There are many different brands, styles, sizes, and colors to choose from. We also use these Hydroponics systems to start seeds for things like tomato and pepper plants to transplant in our garden outside. We bought my mother one a few years ago for Christmas and she loves it. You can use these all year round and grow things for porch or container Gardening as well. Perfect for older ones who still want to garden but can't do it outside. This might make a nice Christmas gift or any-time gift for someone this year.
I love being able to still make homemade bread and rolls no matter where I go. I have learned how to make bread and this cottage has a full-size oven and stove so that means bread ð bread ð bread ð for us.
We had rolls with our supper the first night.
Dear hubby made some ribs and tenderloin at the same time in the instant pot and I paired it with mashed potatoes, coleslaw, and baked beans.
The next night, we used some rolls to make sliders out if and made BBQ sliders with the leftover sides.
The next night, I sliced the bread loaf and made some cheesy, garlic toast to go with spaghetti that he made.
This morning I used some slices and made us some grilled cheese and served it with some sausage.
We make a great team wouldn't you say?
After breakfast, I started simmering a poppourri mix that was given to us by one of our daughters in law mother for Christmas.
The cottage is smelling so good.
I have been teaching my momma how to make bread as well. She was a tom boy growing up and would rather be outside with my PaPa than be inside learning how to cook and such. That's OK. I am so proud of her. This was her loaf she sent me a pic of this morning. I am so proud of her. My baby is growing up. ❤️
Dear hubby is already missing the cows and working on the farm ð. He will be OK. Our boys are battening down the hatches back home. We can still see them with all the cameras we have on our property.
It want be long and we will have new calves on the ground. ðŪð
Well, I am going to have my second cup of coffee ☕️ for the day or maybe a cup of warm Golden Rod tea. ðĪ
In the meantime, I hope you will check out our newest videos on our YouTube channel. There are plenty more new things coming this year.
