“They’re all making it, but I’m sure they wish they had more sunlight.”

I think my plants will all make it through - it’s my idiot CATS that I’m worried about. They have Cabin Fever this winter, the WORST I’ve ever seen! Cats? You ARE welcome to live in the barn if you’d like! Sleep on Stew the Steer - he puts off tons of body heat! The ‘Oops’ litter of puppies winter before last hung out with that years’ steer (Chuck) for extra warmth all winter. I cannot believe that no one got squished!

Eva Grace keeps looking at me as if I control the weather, LOL! Boyd spends the evenings roaming around the house and calling out - to who? The Weather Gods? Who knows!

So far, no broken crockery or other pretty things destroyed in the middle of the night, and while they have always ignored my houseplants...I’m sure it’s coming.

The Beagle is taking it all in stride, but she doesn’t mess around when it’s time for a Potty Break, LOL! ;)

6 Winter Vegetables That Are Packed With Protein—and How to Enjoy Them

When it comes to protein, vegetables are an underrated source. Granted, they don’t have as much as some other foods, but they can still contribute to your overall intake. It also doesn’t hurt that vegetables provide other essential nutrients, such as fiber and antioxidants, making them a worthwhile addition to your diet.

Many of the best protein-rich options are winter vegetables, meaning they’re hardy and flourish during the cooler months. It’s an excellent reason to shop seasonally and boost the protein content of your meals. Here, we asked dietitians to call out the top winter vegetables high in protein, plus ways to use them in recipes.
