Dry So Far

With the rain we have had these past few days it seems like any leaks would be apparent by now! The big storm this afternoon came with some of the loudest thunder that I have heard in quite some time; Matilda was not pleased with it. We are keeping warm by testing out lots of soup recipes from a soup cookbook I borrowed from the library. It seems like good weather for soup, plus it is easier to feed Porter the same as us with soups. He was a big fan of the Spinach, Corn & Quinoa chowder while Matilda preferred the pasta e fagioli. My favorite so far is the Cream of Barley soup we made tonight with leeks and mushrooms. Next up, Lentil soup with pounded walnuts and cream.
