Primroses come in a variety of colors. I like the above combinations. They just brighten dull days. There is a snow storm coming in tonight. It seems like every Sunday and Wednesday night we get snow storms.

I like the above saying. Sometimes I print stuff out like that, encase it in plastic and use my punch to put punch holes in it and I put it in my planner for inspiration.

I like to make soup this time of year and most soups start out with celery, carrots and onions. I like how French Farmers Markets have the veggies all chopped and prepped and you can buy bags of them to have on hand when you want to make a soup fast without all the prep work. So I have been trying to prep my own little packages when I first bring groceries home. I have one of those machines that takes the air out of the bag and seals it. You can freeze it and just take it out when you want to make soup. It doesn’t get freezer burn and keeps the veggies fresh.

I love making soups in my Instant Pot Pressure Cooker. I have tried several recipes and I make notes on the recipes for little touches that I add to make it my own.

I have collected different dish patterns here and there. I love my Phalzgraff Pistoulet. One of my favorite pieces is the soup mug. The little plate under the mug is from Phalzgraff but it’s from an Italian pattern and I love how it goes with the soup mug.

I was keeping little containers of seasoning that I put together from recipes that I found for seasonings. Paula Deen’s house seasoning goes on everything. They empty out fast and I have got to fill them again. I got that little Pistoulet recipe box to put French recipes in that were tried and true and favorites.

I like white Tulips with pussywillows. They look really good in the glass container type shown above.

And that is my thoughts for this 3rd day of March.
