Stella in black and white.
Something I did on a whim yesterday. I was making our oatmeal and the sun was shining on the stove and it looked pretty.
It was sunny all day yesterday and my mood completely changed. A couple of projects that I had been contemplating were completed with ease. I had lots of energy. So did Don. The sun, especially when it’s bouncing off the white color of snow, makes me happy and fills the house with light.
Of course, today is another story as we have a major snow event headed our way. It won’t impact us until sometime after 7 pm, so there’s time to run a few last minute errands this morning. Don tested the snowblower yesterday and it’s running just fine. We have the heat turned down because we’re low on heating oil and have to make what’s there last until Monday. It can’t simply be a snow storm, it has to be a snow storm with us wearing several layers of clothing and fingerless gloves inside the house. Right?
This too shall pass.
I’ve been daydreaming about spring. Green appearing everywhere. Cleaning out the garden beds. Ah….
Don made an apple pie yesterday but we have yet to sample it. That will happen this afternoon, after lunch.
There’s not much else to report, my friends. We’re in a waiting mode. Waiting for the storm. Waiting for heating oil. (Have you noticed that this shortage of oil happens to us at least once every winter? Yikes.)
Stay safe, especially all of you who live in the path of this storm.
Happy Saturday.
