Go Gravy Or Go Home

 Growing up in the Midwest, you could almost always count on a roast served up with potatoes, carrots and onions on any given Sunday.  

Gotta love we German folks.

Of course back then the crock pot and slow cookers had not yet been invented, so the favorite Sunday meal was generally popped into the oven.

AND

gravy was always a must too because if we were at Grandpa's house,

well.... every Sunday meal had gravy.

Here is the link to the recipe we use

in our crock pot Sunday roast with veggies meal.

You just can't beat it.

Unless of course you are a vegetarian.

Sunshine Sunday

 Even though my husband had cleaned off the driveway super duper well after the snowstorm, the temperatures fell and it soon became a skating rink out there.

He warned me not to go outside since the sidewalk was slick as well... AND the back deck.

He was out early cleaning it even more, and then the sun came out

 and began melting snow from the driveway as well as the trees.

 Once more our beloved mountains came into view...

 Much of the snow on the driveway in this view from the back deck, has now melted away, taking away the 'slick' factor so that I could go outside once again.

 It's the one thing I love about snowstorms.... how the world goes from a gray slate sky

to a chilling blue.

Thirteen inches was not so bad.... the storm could have been much worse as people in D.C. and Maryland can tell you.

Wishing you all a safe and beautiful Sunday.
