Beginning a New Day

It is a lovely cool a.m. The house thermometer says 73 inside. I closed up the house tight to keep it warm last night. I'll open it up soon to let all the nice fresh air in.
Today is an 'at home' day. I have a little job since I wrote last. I take care of older people. I have two clients and they both are in different stages of Alzheimer's. I don't work very many hours, so I still have lots of time at home. I have a lot to do too. Mainly the yard is calling me. I need to get some plants in the ground this month. I still have to clear out some weeds and add some more good compost material. I will work on that some today.
It is wonderful to finally get some lovely weather. When it is cooler I feel like cooking a lot more and trying new recipes. Last night I made Salmon cakes with dill sauce. I used the dried dill from my garden. Today I will make 'potage parmentier' from Julia Childs' recipe. It is potato and leek soup. It has heavy cream and butter in it and sounds soooo good. After I saw the movie about her, I have felt compelled to cook some of her recipes. I went to two used book stores to see if I could find any of her books. So far, no luck. I found this recipe in the AARP magazine. O.K. I'm old enough that they are sending it to me:( I have everything I need to make it. If there is a lot and there will be extra, I'll share with a neighbor.
Well, I will get an early start on my day. I'll try and post a little more often. No one reads these so far, but I enjoy doing it periodically. Goodbye little Blog.
