Sunday Letter: 02.21.2021

Sunday Letter 02.21.2021

Dear Sunday Letter friends,

What a week, right? Lots of snow across the country, the entire state of Arkansas buried under record snowfall amounts. Many of my friends and family in Texas have been without power and water for days.

I swear I only wanted enough to fill my snow cream bowl.

Five things I discovered since last week’s Sunday Letter:

  1. my fascination with snow greatly diminishes after four inches and/or four days;
  2. -20˚ is stupid cold;
  3. the forecasting skills of the groundhog are highly underrated;
  4. Texas isn’t quite ready to secede from the Union; and,
  5. in January when you order Girl Scout cookies, you should ALWAYS triple your order just in case.Continue Reading

Sunday Letter

Happy Valentine’s Day Sunday Letter friends,

I seem to be marking time from one holiday to another these days. My Nana was born on Valentine’s Day, so I always look at this day as her birthday more than any other way. People born on Valentine’s Day are extra sweet.

We are having a cold, cold week, (I think the whole country is!) with a glaze of ice and a little powdery snow on the ground since Tuesday. Ice is totally unnecessary in my opinion, although I suppose as it melts it does provide a good soaking to the ground. As I write, the temperature here in Fayetteville is 8˚. The snow in Oklahoma is knocking on our door.

I’ll just go on and say it—if I’m not talking about snow cream in my next Sunday Letter, I will be highly disappointed.

6 Meyer Lemon Recipes

meyer lemon recipes

Today I have six Meyer Lemon Recipes to share with you. You may remember from a recent Sunday Letter, our soon-to-be neighbor gave us a sack of Meyer lemons from her trees in Houston. You know the saying, when life gives you lemons? Well, I didn’t make lemonade, but I was inspired to try a few new recipes.

Lemony foods are my favorite! No kidding, I would rather have a lemon-flavored dessert than chocolate.

I’ve not wasted a drip of juice or a sliver of zest. And can I just say, these are the juiciest, zestiest lemons I’ve ever had. A true blast of sunshine. The most joyful of all the fruits.
