Farmhouse Cooking, Decorating, and baby lambs

We had a snow day today and worked inside...

both of my parents weren't feeling too well and after both

of them went to the doctor found out my mother

had pneumonia. Bless her heart.

This required homemade chicken soup! 

I love the smell of the chicken soup cooking, all the fresh vegetables added in...and then

after all the spices, salt and pepper are put in we added rice instead 

of noodles.  Oh did it taste good.

 I did notice however my rooster and chicken collection were eyeing the chicken soup uncomfortably!

 The vintage scale gets moved around quite a bit in my kitchen along with the red and white enamelware pans.

Yes I do cook with the pans. I love them.

The sheep get close together when

it snows, but their wool keeps them very warm.

 This little one had to be brought in for some extra nourishment because his mama wasn't letting him nurse...Sometimes the first time moms take a couple of days for their hormones to kick in, the mothering instinct to start working.
... we always make sure the babies are nursing and getting milk in the first 24 hours so they will make it. 

Blessings,

Debbie
