Rain & Allergies

Luckily we have had rain all day. My grass and shrubs are probably pretty happy about that. I've been suffering from my spring allergy attack this week, so I am very hopeful that it will wash some of this pollen away too.

I haven't checked the rain gauge tonight, but as of noon today, we had received 1 1/2 inches so far. I got this new Texas Tech rain gauge for Christmas and it is the first real measurable rain I can remember since putting it out in the yard.

Since it was cold and rainy, and I'm feeling fairly under the weather, Lola and I have done some serious couch potato activity today. Below is a photo of Lola parked on my legs so that I can't get up and go anywhere!

I'm excited that winter is back for a few days and more rain is forecasted. I'm really hopeful I get over my congestion/allergy issue soon... I swear I wish I could make money like I can make snot! (Sorry, that may be too gross. I said that to Billy last night and he though it was pretty gross, and he can be the king of gross most of the time!)

We are feeling your pain. E and I have gone through a three pack of Puffs in the last two weeks. I hope we see some of your rain. Hope you feel better soon.

Swiss Oatmeal {Copy Cat Recipe}

I've had a similar recipe for years, but it was only similar.  It wasn't close enough for my liking.  So I finally set out into the land of Pinterest to find a recipe that was a good Copy Cat.  I found a few, combined them and came up with what I think is a very close Copy Cat Recipe of Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal. Here's what I do (note, this recipe is really just pictures, because I don't really have measurements for these things.  The photos aren't great, but it's easier if I show you what I do)... Here's the Phase 1 ingredients...   Milk Honey Yogurt (I use a vanilla greek yogurt) Oats (old fashioned, not quick...you probably could do steel cut too)    I've simplified this to where you only need a bowl and a spoon for Phase 1 becau
