Sausage Tortellini Soup

The day started out with me oversleeping. Of course daylight comes later now so it still seems like you should still be snoozing away. I stayed up way too late last night working on some paper work. The lights went out about 2 a.m. I'm used to turning in about 11:00. But I enjoyed such a glorious morning as went to feed Pokey. The feed bucket did not even need the famous broom for me to reach. Then our little red fox went dashing across the back yard as I approached the feed bucket. He ran from our fence across Pokey's pasture into our neighbors back yard. But the most wonderful sight was out on Lake Jeffery's Road. I slowed down as a small deer went leaping across the road. I stopped to see where he came from and spotted about 5 others waiting to cross. One was very small but had lost it's spots. I started to move on and watched my rear view mirror and saw them make their dash. What a way to start the day!!!

Well I have decided to post the recipe as part of post so it will remain in the archive.
