Snow days…

At the moment, there are about seven inches of snow on the ground with more predicted tonight. The cold has not been brutal this week, but it is cold enough that I’m enjoying staying in where it’s warm. The sky is overcast as evident in the pics below. I need to edit the photo and brighten them some. Maybe I’ll do that in the next few days. Truth be told though, this is what it looks like. Drab and gray and white. There have been a few sunny days with snow falling. I like those best of all.

Snow days are the perfect days to curl up on the sofa and read. Or watch old classic movies. Or finally work on my two blogs! A week ago I had surgery to remove a benign tumor beneath my eardrum, so I’ve been in slow gear this week. I actually finally made the bed today! I’ve been crawling in and out of it all week. Snow days are also the perfect time for a big pot of homemade vegetable soup which my husband helped me put together yesterday. I made the cornbread with his help lifting the skillet (no lifting for three weeks!). The soup is simmering on the stove now and smells delicious. Snow days are also the perfect time for a big steaming cup of hot salted caramel chocolate which I’ve ordered from Amazon and this delicious Harney & Sons Hot Cinnamon Spice Tea. So good!
