I shall post again about writing projects and progress.  Alas, the last week included much falderal coordinating and transporting my nephews between my home, their father's home, and the airport, as well as falderal preparing for the snowpocalypse that's to begin overnight, dump a foot of snow by tomorrow night, get blown around by high winds all day, and finish with two days of barbaric cold.

I'm grateful I already had the propane heater and plenty of fuel to keep us warm for up to three days if we lose electricity--a real possibility, I've been told, when the state is trying to keep their homes ninety degrees warmer than the air outside. And I'm grateful I've enough of a homesteader mentality that I didn't need to brave the now-stripped stores for basic supplies.

So we are now hunkered.

Hunker, hunker, hunker...

We got a tad more than frost last night.

We're expected a few more inches of the stuff over the course of the day. I have the "First Snowfall" happiness that I'm determined to enjoy. By February, I'll be cursing the cold.

Karate classes were cancelled last night, so I spent some time doing nothing, then made dinner for Dev and I, enjoyed a little television with him, then charted out another wellness book. Much of today is for a little bit of unexpected, but not unwelcome, work.

But there will be romping with dogs in snow.

So, yeah, snow dumped on us last night.  The schools in our county and neighboring counties are all out on Spring Break, which means I'll have to make a judgement call later on karate.  I'm hoping to see a plow come by sometime in the next hour so we can make Dev's tutoring appointment with sliding off the road.

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.
