The Big One

 

We're hunkering down for the day since we are expecting some kind of a blizzard. We've gotten one alert after the other warning us of "danger to life and property". To commemorate the event I dug out my snowman rug to work on. I didn't realize that it was almost done. 

What I suppose I'll be doing the most of today though is wrapping myself up in my snowflake quilt and reading. My library book is about the blizzard in Nebraska that killed hundreds in 1880. I bright this home before Christmas never expecting it to have any relevance but here we are. I picked it up because one of my favorite childhood books was The Long Winter from the Little House series. I loved it so much that I bought a copy during the lockdown just for the warm fuzzies it gave me in a time when warm fuzzies were hard to come by. 

And...I took my new bag out for some knit walking down by the water yesterday during the calm before the storm. It was cold but sunny so we enjoyed getting out while we could. I've already warned The Mister that there won't be any major shoveling of our very long driveway anymore at our age. We can wait it out.
