Snowed In, And It's Not A Bad Thing

The advantage of working mostly from home--and having days and days off from the parts that don't fall under the mostly--is that there is no downside to being shut in because of the blizzard.

Dev was told not to come into work today, so we're just home with the dogs--dogs who spent an hour chasing each other and rolling in the snow, then half an hour being dried off with warm towels.  They are now snoring in canine bliss.

I've shoveled the driveway once.  Dev will do the second round.  It's much better to shovel easy twice than it is to shovel once hard.

Here's the front porch.  That rocking chair usually looks much more inviting, and the windchime above it doesn't usually look like a handful of nunchaku.




And here are my poor little flamingoes, that look like they're huddling together against the wind.  The snow has nearly consumed their little legs.



Lastly, hidden beneath a snow-covered evergreen, is my little garden goblin.

Steph's Next Big Thing!

Fellow Viable Paradise alum Stephanie Charette has posted her answers for the Next Big Thing: The Blood of Wolves. 

Her answer to the question of what would pique a reader's interest has certainly piqued mine.  I would very much like her to finish it by Spring. :)
