Alberta Clipper

We've all heard of the Alberta Clipper right?  It always appears quickly with lots of boldness.  Then, when the roads are all slippery, bam, the wind hits.  It was slow driving to my meeting and then even slower going back to work.  But hey, this is January.

Unfortunately, it's been five days since I've been able to really enjoy the outdoors.  If we can get through the month of January, then it's all uphill from here, right?

The North Winds Blow

The January blast has finally hit us.  With 15-20 mph winds blowing most of the day, Bike man and I really didn't wanted to venture outside.  I think our high temperature today was -1 degrees, and now as the sun is setting, the temperature as already dropped to -3 degrees.

This cold weather always puts me in the mood for soup, so today for lunch, I made my favorite Tuscan soup recipe.  You'll find my recipe above in my Turtle recipes.  I love this soup because I always load it with lots of fresh kale....dino is one of my favorite kale's. 

Oh, if only I was a cat!  I could just sleep all day and not have a care in the world.
