Work, work, work!

 It was windy and wet yesterday and today. Thank goodness, my hubby was able to cut the grass at the yard 3 days ago. Our backyard is no longer the forest that we once admired for its trees of maples, oak, douglas fir, spruce, cotton trees, alder, and other forest ferns and shrubs. No more sightings of wild animals like bear, wild deer, raccoons, ravens, robins, chickadees, and humming birds. We can still see birds of different species up in the sky and rooftop. I think those white birds are seagulls or snowbirds? There are many blackbirds mostly crows and few ravens and they don't stay on our backyard simply no trees there and probably they will come gather at your yard if you feed them or you scatter and spread some bird seeds on the yard.

After lawn-mowing using his tractor, the yard looks so amazing. It's winter but the yard looks gorgeous right as if its  spring time. I don't really know if we'll receive snow this time of the year.
It's great that we have enough ground to plant some vegetables next year.

 Did you know that vegetables at winter time is super expensive? The group of veggies above photo is worth $40. And at winter time most of fresh veggies and fruits are imported from other countries that's why. We decline to buy lettuce because of its rumored "e coli" whether they are real news or fake news better not buy lettuce.

Know what? You really have to wash vegetables of all kinds. I washed vegetables especially the green leafy vegetables 4x using a bowl and then let water run down those veggies for 30 seconds to make sure they are clean, no bugs hanging around, no sand or soil, and just to make sure that my family is eating fresh clean veggies. If you are paranoid, better cook all your veggies according to desired temperature. For veggies you are not to cook right away, better place them inside your fridge in the vegetable crisper to keep them always fresh and cool.

 Hubby bought new light fixture for the ceiling above our dining set. OMG! Now I can see! lol.
A beautiful fancy light fixture was once hanged above there but it was quite heavy and the 5 bulbs are too expensive. We only need two bulbs in it instead of 3 in this new 16 " pewter finish mounted ceiling lamp fixture.

 He also replaced the light fixture above the ceiling at the hallway with 12" pewter finish flush mount ceiling lamp.

 Supposedly I was about to bake my own cake and cupcake then suddenly my husband was in the mood to bake using our breadmaker machine. He measured all the ingredients correctly and poured them inside the metal container, cover and press the correct time and set the timer. After the dough was properly been mixed and out from the machine, his hands massaged the dough like magic and set it for few minutes until the dough rised, etc. etc. and put the desired size of raw buns in the oven...

Presto! Yes! It's FRESH! HOT PANDESAL!!!!!!! OMG! My husband can bake hot pandesal. Hot pandesal at night!! The butter melts on these hot buns and they are superbly delicious. My kids love it. I love it too. Only 3 remaining hot buns for this morning and these buns are for my breakfast.
