Soups On

It's soup season.


So the time for bringing in the plants, putting away the outdoor furniture, getting the windows washed is upon us. I haven't had a fire yet because I have no wood. Oh, there are plenty of downed trees, just not cut up downed trees. The guy just keeps saying soon. I need to find a repair person for the wood pellet stove. A new auger motor was installed last year, it worked for a while but the auger stopped turning again. Hopefully I can find someone, it puts out a lot of heat.

That's the news from the old homestead.

After all the hassle the stove auger isn't working again? I wonder if it's a design flaw.
I don't bring in outdoor chairs, no place for them. I turn them over!
Soup I can sign on for though.

Yes, not working again. We have outbuildings so they get put away.When we didn't we as as you do.

For the first time this morning I thought about turning on the heat. Not quite yet but we're getting there. Good luck with your stove and wood!

We have a little bit of garden work to do and will try to get at some of it tomorrow.

I don't make soup...but I ought to. When my friends show pictures of their soups....I am always jealous! Such a great 'warming' meal!

I just made a crockpot full of beef soup yesterday. Shared with Dagan and the boys. Definitely that time of year. I like soup all year round, but it is especially delicious when there's a chill in the air.
