It has been snowing non stop for two days and it is so beautiful.聽 Why is it that after聽 it snows there is this sort of tranquility in the atmosphere?聽 I went out for the first time today in over a week, 馃檨聽 and had a lovely walk with Charlie鈥eeling better day by day.聽 This was Charlie鈥檚 first experience with the snow, running, playing, eating snow.
I thought I would add one more soup to my Soup Series, Chickpea Soup.聽 Simple, yet tasteful and a favorite soup in Greece after the famous Fasolada/Bean Soup.聽聽
