homemade life

this morning we woke up to snow falling in thick blankets, another several inches fell overnight.
my office was technically closed for the second time in as many weeks. in the ten years i have been there this has never happened.  although the office was closed it was pretty much business as usual, just from another location- my house. usually if i work from home it is relatively calm but today it was total chaos trying to reschedule flights and speak with travel agents which = listening to recorded messages endlessly. but being home also allows the opportunity to throw in laundry, make a dinner that might take longer than usual.. make homemade pasta...oh yes ... the pasta... first a picture of where we grew the tomatoes that we made the sauce with tonight. the garden fence barely visable, it is really hard to believe that this will ever be clear again.

          don't think i could do this without the kitchenaid both the machine and the helper :)

                   last jar of sauce from the summer tomatoes.  just cant compare to store bought.

this is one of the few moments when i can say there can be all kinds of plans, goals and hopes but in the end all that matters is why we get up in the morning, why we try so hard to be our best,  it is to win hearts, to love and to be loved.

happy snow day.

love sent, xoxo
