Today, friends are coming over for lunch, and yesterday I made a big batch of minestrone soup using lots of Farmer Kev’s vegetables: yellow and green beans, yellow summer squash, garlic, and carrots. The soup is warming in my trusty Crock-Pot as I write. I’ll be making corn bread to go with it.
This Saturday, we will be going to Cinema Explorations, the winter film series Clif and I helped organise for Railroad Square Cinema. In the afternoon, Mike, Shannon, and the dogs will be coming over to the little house in the big woods to celebrate Mike’s birthday.
A busy but fun weekend that will certainly perk up this housebound family.
Notes From the Hinterland 
Soup looks great! Have a good day and weekend!
Thanks, Jim. The soup came out pretty well, if I do say so myself. And it was chock-full of Farmer Kev’s vegetables.
It’ll definitely be good to be getting out of the house!! 🙂 See you tomorrow!
Shannon, we can all get a little stir crazy in the winter.
