Here we are in the middle of winter with snow coming down and really cold temperatures. When my farm family gets wet from the snow they know they can come in and hang up their wet things at the wood stove to dry. And what better way to warm the family up with than a pot of homemade potato soup!
Makes ya not mind the snow and cold so much.
My youngest daughter informed us at lunch that the chickens were out of feed. So me and my farmer jumped in the truck and headed to the feed mill to pick up the chicken feed. The chickens need to eat too! (especially if we expect any eggs) I found out from my farmer that the price of corn is $6 a bushel right now. (by the way that's a high price) That comes out to $9 for a bag of chicken feed. hmmmm (maybe the chickens aren't paying their way with eggs....I'm thinking about chicken soup right now)
We have a good size snow storm happening today and my daughter is the only one who seems to be enjoying it! After making snowmen and playing in the snow with Buck, the farm dog, she is ready for a snowball fight! I guess when she comes in she'll have to hang her gloves up over the wood stove to dry.
After winter is over,
I certainly will appreciate
the warm sun in the summer time!
The woodstove heat just doesn't
compare to that summer sunshine!

Your potato soup looks so very good! I really like your idea of hanging a clothesline so their socks and gloves can dry out. That's one thing we really don't have to worry about here in Arizona - just not enough snow.
We did have snow for about a week recently and I was actually happy when it all melted. It was so muddy and messy while it was melting.
What a fun find on your hallway walls.
