Pleasant Weather, Peaceful Fire, Perfect Stew

Arriving yesterday (Friday),
we found little snow
and pleasant weather,
so we took a short hike.
As the temps drop,
the fire was peaceful.

Today brought a desire for stew.
We start with stew meat.
and two kinds of fire roasted tomaoes.
Searing the meat helps preserve
the tenderness and the flavor.
The supporting cast.
The secret ingredient.
Make note of the word Sweet!
Simmer for a while.
Ladle up some perfection.

Since our arrival,
I spent the morning
preparing for Bible Study.
Mickey filled propane tanks,
swept the flagstone,
checked and serviced the hot tub chemicals,
picked up over turned outdoor furniture
from some obviously high winds.
We have watched three movies and RESTED!
