So this morning it was minus 25 degrees F (or -31 Celsius). Too cold to do much of anything outside. We've had a string of cloudy, cold winter days. And I'm feeling stressed out over my husband's heart issues lately. We have several doctor appointments for him next week. He is not feeling the best right now. Whenever I feel stressed out and start to feel sorry for myself, I like to get into the kitchen and find something interesting to do. "Kitchen therapy" - yep! I decided it would be a good day to make a batch of Swedish Flatbread. I wrote up a post on this back in 2017 (see the Dec 22, 2017 article in older posts). Making flatbread kept me busy for an afternoon.

| A nice batch of 16 Swedish flatbreads. They will keep for a long time in a tin (broken into pieces), and make a good snack with a cup of coffee, tea, or hot cider. |

After making the flatbreads, I decided to sit down with a cup of lemon zinger tea and a couple pieces of the new flatbread. Using my fanciest cup and saucer, and my favorite tea pot, cheered me up, too!

| A few sections of flatbread, some tea and a good book go a long way to cheering a person up on a cold winter day! |

I bought a new book the other day - a very nice book on gardening. It's a great reference, and I am learning plenty of new things to try this year in the gardens. I already have my gardens planned out, seeds ordered and bought, and now I'm ready to draw up some diagrams of where I will put crops this year.

| My new garden book. By the end of February I will be starting some flower seeds inside, and in early March quite a few other seeds will be started. |

I feel better already!

Good! Nice to be able to work yourself out of a slump, we all have them. For me, taking a run or vigorous walk sometimes does the trick.
