On Top of Old Smoky, All Covered With Snow

Snow on the Wind Rivers on June 28th. The rivers are still full, the valley is lush. So beautiful to my eyes. A very nice Sunday: I was out of fresh meat for the hounds and starving myself so we made an early trip to town. I have been buying them tenderized steaks at Safeway because they are tired of burger it seems. Safeway had a 7 bone roast at a ridiculously low price so I bought one of those too. Then I went to JB's for the breakfast buffet which was very nice-read the local scandal sheet with a front page warning about mosquitoes and West Nille Virus as well as the usual fluff. Scored the dogs some sausages to tide them over and moseyed home taking this shot on the way.

It was a fair and warm day. The sunshine and my iPod music made me sleepy so I took a nap. I awoke to find my little girl asleep, keeping watch over me. I popped the roast into my huge frying pan and put it in the oven adding carrots, potatoes, wine and diced tomatoes. Four hours later-delish. Food for another two days.

While cooking I swatted a couple of mosquitoes so the fogger came out. It makes it possible to dine outdoors and we did. The doggies were impressed with the roast. Played tag with Honey and Buster jumped in. They are funny.

Watched Mystery on PBS- Poirot solved another one. A very pleasant Sunday of the yesteryear sort. A roast in the oven evokes memories of many pleasant family Sunday dinners. I'm sure there were some I would like to forget and I guess maybe I have.
