While I don't battle depression, I do find that if I feel down, a quick walk with Nelly clears my head. Of course I don't have to deal with the weather conditions that you have. And, I do believe that light & more light helps. The soup sounds delicious & I'm sure the rest of your meals will be on the creative & delicious.DFWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18345712839702427280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-76504027712245474292017-01-30T00:27:27.796-05:002017-01-30T00:27:27.796-05:00Susan,
Hey Sweet Susan!!! I had no idea you wres...Susan,<br /><br />Hey Sweet Susan!!! I had no idea you wrestled with depression. I'm wondering if it has something to do with the change in the weather(cold, damp, gloomy), and it being dark so early in the day living up north?? When I lived in Virginia it was always cold, and gloomy outside, and when winter came I was depressed. Once the sun came out, and it wasn't so darn cold, and gloomy I felt so much better. Having your animals, home, and garden must help you through these times. <br /><br />Potato Leek soup...sounds yummy will you share the recipe?<br /><br />Bertie is at that inquisitive age, he's going to get into everything. Maybe you can find a job for him on your homestead, this may help with slowing him down a bit. <br /><br />Love the bubble gum pink color......nice and bright :-)<br />Sandy Livesayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183449816586125720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-41371417102801780282017-01-28T15:25:51.081-05:002017-01-28T15:25:51.081-05:00our sun finally came out this morning after a long...our sun finally came out this morning after a long absence!

We have two rottweillers, both girls, and both exceptionally gentle dogs, but when things need to be chased, like the sheep or chickens, they are ever so willing to help! <br />Hope your SAD condition lifts soon....when I used to live in the UK I used to get quite poorly with it, but when we moved to SW France, the condition eased up, thank goodness.Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235143664894609891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-8029832897937097682017-01-27T22:02:14.746-05:002017-01-27T22:02:14.746-05:00This year has been tough.

My seed catalogues keep me going, that and clearing brush and turning compost although I talk to myself while doing all three, is that a bad sign? I took my laptop in to the repairers 2 days ago-blank screen-rather superior guy pointed out the chewed wire.... Hang in there kid and oodles of hugs to all the furry ones and your lovely self.

Sorry, but I had to laugh at him sneaking into the hen house. Just another spot in his new home he had to check out.<br /><br />Seriously, I do know how debilitating S.A.D. (or anything close to it) can be. I'm very fortunate I'm not negatively affected by rain, sleet, ice, fog, etc. as that's just the weather we're having. And we didn't even have the 2' of snow you did!<br /><br />The sun will come out. We will have more snow. Winter isn't over yet. I just know it. Hugs, my friend.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-18490254397866849992017-01-27T15:56:35.180-05:002017-01-27T15:56:35.180-05:00Janis, we usually get a snow storm, then it passes...Janis, we usually get a snow storm, then it passes, the sun comes out and brilliantly reflects off the snow. Not this year - it's been nothing but rain, sleet, ice, icy fog. After our initial 2', it's been all downhill.

This year however, we received a full week of beautiful snow and several bright, sunny days. It does wonders for my mood & reminds me that spring WILL come again.
