Looking back on my pictures of the cold, snowy weather we had, I no longer feel badly about not walking every day! Look at that snow, being driven along by a cold wind! Can you blame me?
Especially when this was the scene inside-a nice, warm fire, with my favorite chair drawn up close to it.
I spent my days reading by the fire, but some of us preferred to nap.
When he wasn't napping, he was coloring or arranging his crayons (by color, if you notice) in various construction vehicles.
Roasted salmon, which we ate by candlelight while the storm raged outside.
And, maybe, just maybe, I was beginning to feel trapped inside by the time the cold sunshine reappeared this week! This morning, the sunrise was beautiful, with streaks of pink and gold and purple coloring the wintry sky. A heavy frost lies on the grass, and even the hot latte I consumed has failed to warm my toes! We are ordering seeds for the vegetable garden, weighing the merits of different varieties of beets, carrots, tomatoes, and beans. Plans are being made to serve Italian sodas with homemade syrups at the store this summer, and diagrams being drawn as to how to rearrange the store to make traffic flow more smoothly. These plans make me excited for summer and the return of the farm season, and yet, I would still LOVE one big snowstorm this winter!
I would just like winter to finally arrive here! We have been making gardening plans too, it is so exciting. My husband has spent days on the tractor and I know it won't be long!
