Snow Daze

Monday January 20th at 6:00 pm the snow started to flurry. It delicately floated about and started to accumulate into a beautiful frosting of white upon the night woods. At 10:00 pm we bundled up and walked a bit, enjoying the crunch and echo under our boots. Tucking everyone in we proclaimed tomorrow we shall all play in the snow ❄️ 

These photos are from Tuesday , the next morning. No work, no school, a real snow day for everyone! And here I am posting on Wednesday still a snow day for everyone. The roads were still frozen over and too icy for commuting anywhere early, and everything is far from home by 40 min plus.

I have made a variety of soups and Chile accompanied by quesadillas & grilled cheese sandwiches. Plenty of mugs filled with coffee and homemade hot coco mix to the rescue when supply ran out. We dipped our failed gingerbread house walls and shingles in our hot beverages.

The garden greenhouse tunnel was finished just in time, although the lows still shocked a variety of plants, but most will recover hopefully. We did have a burst pipe at one of our spigots which was fixed earlier today. I've enjoyed this unplanned snowcation with my family. And as we hibernate , I'm writing and planning, future harvesting for the gathering . Stay warm and cozy, listen to your ancestors and stay resilient.
