Fall came to quick and sudden end here in North Dakota today. The weather went from 75 and sunny to 32 blowing and snowing. A light switch is the best comparison to what just happened.
Rig life goes on but with the hole going slowly (oh so slowly) and the snow keeping us on location it’s time to bust out all the off time things. I recommend starting with a little arts and crafts. I finished this paint by numbers today.
After that the next best thing to do on a snowy winter’s day is to cook! A friend of mine had a pampered chief party not too long ago and I like to support my friends so I ordered a few things. And like a good friend promptly forgot about it. Well my new kitchen toys arrived just before the snow did so today I got to play with them! I have been backing up a storm! This is good in two ways it helps keep the trailer warm and it keeps me from having cabin fever! I think I am most proud of the paleo chicken pot pies But the rig crew would argue that my pumpkin cookies are the best.
Love my new pie pan and pastry mat! 
Smells amazing! 
there is way to much filling! 
In the oven! 
Done!
The pipes are frozen now so I can’t wash any of the dishes. Not a problem except that I had another batch of pumpkin cookies that needed to go in and the cookie sheet is in need of a scrub. This batch of cookies was going to be used for bribery. It took me months but I figure out what to do with my old pair of work boots. But an idea has come to me. They are going to become a pair of birdhouses. Stay tuned for the how to post latter. But I need to scrounge a few things and barrow a drill and a saw for about 20 minutes thus the bribery cookies. This truly is a tragedy. But I guess I will just have to work on making Christmas cards instead. After all it’s not even Halloween yet! Time batten down the hatches and settle in for a long winter….
