So Much Snow!

We’ve gotten well over a foot of snow since Thursday night! If you’ve hung around here long, you know how much I love the snow, and especially these big blizzardy storms. What fun! Snowfall is so peaceful, too. As you can see below, we can hardly even see out our living room window anymore. I really like being snowed in!

And I love the indoor time — we’ve been rearranging some things in our apartment and I’m loving the new energy that comes from shifting stuff around. Plus, working diligently on getting rid of more stuff. Among other things, I organized the pantry yesterday and am enjoying it each time I open the door. It feels so good to be getting a handle on our house! It seems like when my illness got really bad in April, time stopped. When you’re so sick you feel like doing absolutely nothing, guess what? Absolutely nothing gets done! Huh. So I’m finally picking up projects that I had started in early April, which then got basically frozen in time. It feels great to be continuing them in earnest once again! And the crap that has piled up in the house in the space of 10 months… it feels so good to finally be addressing it.

I hope you all are having a wonderful and relaxing weekend! Tomorrow we’ll head to my parents’ place for the Super Bowl. It’s all about the food, the commercials, the company, and yeah, we might even watch a little football too…

    Ha!…so you’re the ones hogging all the winter snow! We’re stuck in the doldrums of a half winter here in northern Michigan. We get a good 6-10″ and then we hit these 35-40 degree
    weeks like we’re in right now. They’re canceling one big x-country race after another, which
    doesn’t help our tourist dependent winter economy much. On the bright side, we have had more
    sun than usual, it’s easier to get around and snowdrops are starting to poke up at the front door!

    Hi Jane! I know, there’s always a tradeoff in the winter. Snow is awesome, but it does make other things difficult. Enjoy those little snowdrops!!

    Dear Lindsey,
    I have enjoyed winter vicariously through your blog and photos. Here in the east, we had but one brief dusting. Like you, I love winter snows, falling softly and decorating trees, followed by beautiful blue sky and crisp air when the storm passes. I love walking in the snow and even enjoy shoveling. Your winter has been so amazing with finding snow drops on your Tuesday walk that felt like spring followed by this huge snow storm blizzard on Thursday.
    Love and warm snuggles from Kate

    So wonderful to hear from you Kate!! I’m sorry to hear your winter has been so minimal; I would be disappointed for sure! I enjoy shoveling too! 🙂
    Maybe there’s still time for winter to show up out East.
    Love & warm snuggles to you too!
