Poetry ~ Cabbage After Christmas

The Christmas lights and decorations are getting packed away as I have energy (and the good sense to label boxes this year🙄).

Thank goodness there’s still time to make New Year’s treats from recipes I sorted weeks ago…if I hustle. 

But I’m most looking forward to a hearty pot of borscht–yep, CABBAGE…preferably in the form of sauerkraut!  How I love the ruby red of beets (which reminds me…I could bake the loaf of cranberry bread that didn’t happen between Thanksgiving and Christmas).

So this is a new blog, and I’m totally thrilled that WordPress gives us lovely falling snow which doesn’t chill the bones, thank you!!  A few days ago it appeared there was some white stuff on the grass below my window…but I couldn’t be sure (it might have been only my annoying cataracts).  I checked again, and sure enough it remained…until gradually melting in the rain.  Ah well…changing seasons and mercurial weather…at this point I’m eager for Spring cherry blossoms (sigh).

In any event, if you’ve stumbled on this site in your blog travels, I greet you with a warm welcome–perhaps I’ll see you again when I’ve hung up the apron, and settled into writing mode.  I offer blessings to all…may you enjoy peace and contentment, and HOPE as we enter the New Year!  Cale😊
