The Calm After the Storm

There was actually a calm before the storm too

as Friday it was gorgeous

the sun was shining

I felt like a cat wanting to seek out the beam

and take it all in

they were predicting a good ole fashion

n'oreaster for Saturday afternoon

and overnight hours

so it was up early

off to the hospital and running errands

before it all started

then we hunkered down on couch

and listened to the wind blow

today we woke up to 30 cm of

new fallen snow

there was blue sky ~ but cold

brrrr cold

I popped outside long enough to take a few shots

then it was back in

Trev worked at clearing everything outside

and I puttered around in

first up was banana bread

then a big pot of chili with fresh biscuits

then it was on to a recipe I found here

in hearts of course for Valentines

and they are yummy yummy!

I sprinkled sugar on some

and then pink and red sugar on others

I will not tell you how many of those little ones I ate

fresh from the oven ~ but it was sinful!

Mom is doing better ~ still in ICU

but that is due to her ongoing issues with her lungs

they are only putting her on the vent at night

and keeping her off it longer and longer

she is feeling better I can tell

and has started using the dry erase board I bought

so we have communication!

one more snow shot!

I am currently under my blanket on the couch

watching the Grammy Awards

cheering for Adele and still in disbelief about Whitney

hope you had a great week-end.
