Snow!

 

Julie texted me last night "Weather app says you are to have FIFTEEN INCHES of snow in the next 24 hours - holy catfish!!!"

I smiled when I read it. It wasn't news here. We've all known about this for days. I had my groceries delivered after work on Thursday and gassed up my car on Friday. As I drove past the local grocery store on my way home I could see the parking lot was FULL! Nothing out of the ordinary just before a big storm.

I'm all set. In fact, the house is clean. The laundry is done, the sheets and towels have been changed. The bathrooms are clean, the floors washed. The Roomba made a trip around the house so no vacuuming is needed. My car is gassed up and the snow removal plans are made. I have no place to go, so I plan to enjoy the snow day, reading, sewing, maybe a bit of cooking and watching TV. Sounds fun to me.

Snowy Day

What do you do when you're staying home because you are supposed to get 16-24" (41-61 cm) of snow? The New York Times has a complete list you can read about here. As for me...

You bake cookies. I like these Salted Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies.

You work on a quilt. Here I am sewing the binding on the Peppermint Swirl quilt.

You watch TV. I'm a tennis fan, and will be watching the matches at Indian Wells in California. As I write this I am watching the reruns from last night. These matches will take place later today.

Speaking of Snow Days...

When I was in California we had dinner with my brother, who was driving up to Yosemite from Mexico. I was showing him photos of my recent quilts and he said if he didn't have this one, Triangle Dance, he would ask for my newest, Snow Day, which he really liked.
