Good Day! We never got the rain last night, or the storm. Not at my house anyway. I am sure with the way things blew in someone nearby got it. I went to bed with my head at the opposite end of my bed right below the window. A steady breeze came in but nothing like the burst earlier. It was pleasant and definitely helped me sleep with all that humidity. Michigan had some wild weather last night, even had tornado's. Bizarre weather every place!!!! Hope everyone is safe.
Today I got up and did some reading while sipping away on my coffee. MMMMmm my sister was up before I, so the smell of it brewing was a nice gentle coax to get out of bed. I did some running earlier to get the fixings for a taco dip. My family loves it!! More on the reasons behind that later... SHHHHHHhhhh
I was hoping to get my errands and laundry done so I could go float in my parents pool before the rain, but not sure I'm going to make it. I took my camera with me in hopes of getting the geese. As you see, I was successful in this run. No where near as many, but I bet they will arrive throughout the day. Even with the rain we've been getting you can see how parched the grass is. It's so dry and hard that when it rains it settles in puddles then runs off or evaporates. No time to seep into the ground.
While waiting to change loads I put it together in a scrap. I also did the peach/orange rose as a snag. I added the rain as I thought it was a nice touch. I originally had it on white, but the black makes it pop. I may have to play with it again and make it bloom. Some may not remember that graphic from way back when, but it's time to do another, yes? LOL
Taco Dip... for those interested
8 oz pckg of Philly cream cheese
1lb container of sour cream
pack of taco seasoning (any will do)
lettuce
shredded cheese
thick and chunky salsa (any will do)
chips
any other goodies (peppers, black olives, etc)
Soften cream cheese and mix with package of taco seasoning and sour cream. Spread along bottom of dish. Put in fridge to get it firm again. Don't get the cream cheese to a liquid state just soft so you can mix. Layer salsa, other goodies of your choosing, lettuce and cheese on top.
If you are making it ahead of time wait to do lettuce and cheese. The lettuce will make it runny. In today's batch I will also be adding ground beef seasoned with another pack of taco seasoning. Play with it... it will be hit I promise! I also by the scoop chips... get more bang for the buck. LOL
Well, off to finish that dish up and get moving........ stay away rain! LOL Hope everyone is having agreat Saturday
Hugs
