Visit Marty at A Stroll Thru Life for the party...
First of all, my heart, thoughts, and prayers go out to all the millions who awakened to loss and devastation this morning across the Northeast. usaving just traveled there, I am heart sick about the beauty and the hit it took, and the wonderful families whom we met who certainly are suffering in some way this morning. And for those who are grieving, you are in our prayers!
...we are still feeling the affects of Sandy, here in SW Virginia... we are right on the cusp of the snowline.... as our elevation here isnt quite high enough,,, but the brutal winds still pummel us... We were very thankful to wake up this morning with power and a warm dry home...there wasnt even a bit of tree debris in the yard except for the many leaves we would ordinarily have this time of year. The mighty oaks held on tight to their newly colored leaves, amazingly ! However, a glance out the back door showed we didnt have just a bit of damage.... the roof of our garage had become compromised just a bit...and with the forecast for a lot of residual rain today, Lynn was quick to get out the ladder and take care of business. Even at sustained winds of 24 miles per hour, Lynn was on his ladder fixing the heat vent on the roof...between the intermittent showers this morning.
The view form upstairs brought him more into focus as he anchored the vent secured back into place.
Looking up at him from the ground,, I was getting a tad anxious hoping he would soon be done!
For the wind was back in full force as seen by the garden flag almost parallel to the ground in its flight!
Meanwhile, I was busily preparing a hearty breakfast for my man- whom I knew would appreciate a warm up for the wind chill was about 18 degrees!
My original plan for this morning was to create a dainty tabletop , but now I was thinking he-man!!!
Baked eggs with cheese and veggies, baked bacon, crisp and tasty,
these eggs are so easy to fix, just spray the pan, break into it 4 eggs, season them, I chopped a couple of tablespoons of red pepper and chopped some sweet onion, then sprinkled parmesan cheese over the whole. Bake at 375 for about 12 minutes or until done.. Lynn has to have his yokes done... but this method never scorches and we both enjoy the compliments of the added ingredients!
Delicious fresh fruit cup, compliments of our precious Jan and Kevin,
and large mugs of coffe and tea..
for me, Yorkshire Gold in my Mikasa Hampton Bay mug ....
Just the kind of breakfast this morning called for to jump-start our day!!! and ward off the chill!
The centerpiece demonstrates that Im so thankful in my heart for God's provision and protection!
And I am loving my mercury glass votive.. wish I had bought 2 of them!!
Just a very warm beginning.... now Im bolstered to tackle some errands!

Your breakfast looks delicious! I'm now hungry! Your table setting feels so warm and comforting! Hope you continue to stay safe and cozy! Have a wonderful week!

What a fine breakfast table you set! Delicious food too! I am glad your wind had died down. It sounds like you didn't do too badly considering. I did hear that there was now in western VA.

Goodness, Dad on the roof in a windstorm! Glad he's ok ;>) Just went through your blog and read all your posts about your trip-- lovely documentation! I forgot you took such nice pictures in Maine!
ReplyDeleteOh- and show MJ the picture of the newly covered bench, if you think of it! I think maybe we need to move the picture down a bit? We just didn't want anyone to bump their head on it, while they're sitting there...
love you,

What a delicious looking breakfast! Love the he-man table setting. Glad to read you didn't suffer any damages during Sandy. ~Michelle
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to read you're safe, snug, and warm, and your husband completed the task before the weather got too much worse. I still cannot comprehend the devastation on the East Coast...the weather is something we still have no control over.The power of storms to do so much damage never ceases to awe me..
ReplyDeletePerfect meal for a man,and a man needs to drink his coffee or tea from a mug!
Oh my goodness, such a bad storm. So glad you are all ok and the roof can be repaired. Beautiful breakfast. Thanks for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
