made the chicken soup yesterday… been waiting all day for my supper because it was chicken soup with my mom’s dumplings… and they came out exceptionally well…

  
yum… I may have had two bowls full, lol… 

I am doing a good job of planning my meals the day ahead so I don’t have to make last minute decisions, which might not be the best food choices… because I was having the dumplings tonight I was careful not to eat any bread products today…

started the day with a lovely view out the front window…

  
the trees are changing colours and dropping leaves at a very rapid pace… 

it went below zero last night and a few plants in the front flower bed were hit, but it looks like the mandevilla and morning glory survived…

  
happy about that…
