As the new year has unfolded, I have been taking my time putting the Christmas decorations away and restoring order to each room in the house. It's nice to have the time to do this at a leisurely pace.
The charcuterie board above was a gift from my brother and sister-in-law. On New Year's Eve I made a pot of vegetable soup to go along with the delicious cheeses, nuts, dried fruits and salami.
Yesterday I was texting back and forth with my brother as they live in Los Angeles very close to the wildfires. He said they haven't been told to evacuate, but have a go bag in the car in case that becomes necessary. It is horrifying to see the videos coming out of that area of California. I can't even imagine how that must be for the people living through it and my heart goes out to them.
We have snow in our weekend weather forecast.
It's been years since we've seen any so I'm secretly hoping to see a pretty snowfall.
I'll keep you posted on that.

We're keeping everyone in our prayers in California and this winter storm too. I love those goodies. That really sounds good right now! Happy new year!
ReplyDeleteThe charcuterie board looks wonderful, Kim! What a nice gift! I'm sorry your brother lives so close to you the wildfire; I hope they won't have to evacuate. We're also hoping for a nice snow here in North Carolina. Fingers crossed. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!

I'm restoring order back to my home too. I've been cleaning things out and it does feel good!
ReplyDeleteYour plant in the sunshine photo is pretty and so peaceful. I hope you get snow! I've had enough of it... :)
The fires in CA are so very sad!
We have a grandchild in LA. Hopefully all will be well.
ReplyDeleteThose wild fires are so scary. Will keep your brother in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteLots of good stuff on the charcuterie board!!!
