Embracing The Snow

 We woke up this morning to another foot or so of snow, and immediately there was a decision to be made.  I could (A) fret about the fact that we would now miss several more days of school that will have to be made up, OR I could (B) just embrace the snow: the beauty of it, the novelty of it after so many years without a lot of snow, the coziness of a snow day, the fact that snow adds moisture and minerals to the soil in ways that rain does not.
I chose "B".
So today I have put a big pot roast in the oven, filled up all water containers and the bathtub in case we were to lose power,which thankfully has not happened yet, fed the birds, worked on my blog--see even my blog is embracing the snow--and did step one of a no knead bread recipe I am trying out.
In a little while I will walk, or maybe slide, down to the barn to feed the animals.  And my other big plans are to re-season my dutch oven and maybe try to make a cover for my new kindle.  So, I will keep busy.  And the snow is really beautiful.
