The Morning After - Snow Day

I woke up this morning to a winter wonderland, body aches, and a stuffy nose! I probably should have had a coat on yesterday as I was out taking pictures. I knew better, but the excitement of the snow had me like a kid who doesn't care about coats and hats. They just want to get out in the snow and play! And I didn't have that responsible adult telling me to get my butt in the house and put a coat on. I guess I should have been that responsible adult, but that part of me was on a coffee break or something.

We have another snow day and I plan on staying inside. Of course that is after I went out this morning to take pictures. It was the first thing I did, even before coffee! The snow were calling Titus and I. He loves the snow and always up for an adventure when no one else is. I wasn't out there for too long, but enough to appreciate the beauty around me. Carolina blue skies, snow glistening in the sunlight, and the quiet hush of the morning.
The magic of an ordinary.....no, extraordinary day.

Then I dashed inside, got my coffee and snuggled under a blanket. And that's where you'll find me for the rest of the day!

For those here in NC, enjoy your second snow day!

SNOW DAY!

We had the best snow day today! I was so disappointed when I woke up and no snow was falling. Nothing, Nada. I thought for sure the weatherman had got it wrong again, but mid morning the snow started to fall, in big fluffy flakes. Every blind in the house was open to watch the falling snow.

I was in and out all day. My neighbors probably think I'm nuts! I was in the middle of our street, in my onsie pajamas and boots taking pictures. I'm sure they will get use to my shenanigans. If not, oh well. It snowed all day and I enjoyed every minute of it. Dinner for our snow day - a chicken pot pie.

And of course no snow day is complete without knitting!

I love a snow day!

Snow Day!

The weatherman has been predicting snow the past few days and we actually got it! The snow started falling last night in all it's beautiful, snowy glory.  This morning we woke to a wintry wonderland and the hush the snow provides. I was up early before anyone else and enjoyed the quietness. I love a snow day. It brings me back to my childhood in Dunkirk, NY, south of Buffalo. Growing up with all that snow, you would think I would be done with it but I sometimes miss the snow.

Schools are cancelled, and I'm working from home. I made a late breakfast of cheddar and chive waffles with eggs and plenty of coffee. As I type this, I'm thinking of brewing a second pot! I have butter softening for cookies, because you can't have a snow day without some baking. Knitting is on the agenda and some letter writing I've been trying to get to. For everyone up the east coast getting this snow, stay safe and warm! And enjoy the simplicity a snow day can bring.

The white fluffy snow turned to ice last night, but it has started snowing again. No walks today, just staying bundled up inside. With Netflix binges for Fonzy and I and game playing for the boys.
