Enjoying a snowy day

Today when we woke up it was cold and snowing so I decided to make a hot pot of soup for our lunch.  While my husband brought in some wood for the wood stove  and plowed our drive way I started putting together the soup.

Both my husband and I love soup and the leftovers are great for him to take for lunch during the week.

Today I will be making a split pea soup with potatoes and hotdogs in my crock pots
