Winter chills

Good Morning Ya'll-

Nice, crisp winter temps today! 

Needless to say I am missing summer, BIG TIME!
I went back through my pictures to remind myself how nice and green summertime is! These photo's were taken at my first farm internship about 20 miles from here. 

Chores are challenging with it so cold outside. I have to find a different plan for keeping the water thawed for the hens......its almost worthless to go and water them cause it literally freezes within the next hour 😞

I started classes this week! So far its been really nice and we've gone over a few songs that are new to me and one in particular called "Northern Lights" by the Norwegian composer Ola Gjeilo. Its Latin words too which is certainly a change for me. But the song is super pretty! 
Here, you can listen to the song! 
We will have two concerts coming up to sing for, that's exciting! 

Writing papers, studying, being diligent to my commitments, discipline, practice, motivation, reading, singing, playing piano, chores, walking, late nights, eating well and dressing for the cold weather.
These are just a few of the things I find myself doing of late. Praise the Lord for helping me learn to be a better doer then a procrastinator! 
MY GOAL=
"Sing to Him a new song; Play skillfully with a shout of joy." ~Psalm 33:3
+
"The wicked flee when no one is pursuing, but the righteous are bold as a lion." ~Proverbs 28:1

Egg in a hole, with buttery, crusty bread, avocado and crispy bacon! Delicious breakfast! 

 I'm making crispy almonds from Nourishing Traditions children'c cookbook. Soaking and dehydrating the almonds helps make them easier for the body to digest. 
I love crispy almonds with raisins as a good snack. You have your protein and a natural sweetener.

I took the training and passed the exam for applying for the MN Cottage Food license! I will check with my local court house to make sure I am within the county's laws and then send my registration in.So I can hopefully sell certain products from our home kitchen. 
I have been doing some doodling to figure out a logo to use on my products. And I am also looking into some online marketing tips from a few experienced friends. 

Snow is pretty!

How is everyone's winter going?
