Quarantine activities of the day... Live from NYC...
3pm... Snow... big fluffy flakes... fluttering gently down like butterflies...
5pm... wind... driving snow... blowing off roofs in great swaths of white powder... 11pm... sleet... wind... nails against the house... Clackety clack... hitting the windows and wooden slats... Midnight... strong winds... gusting over 40 mph... creaking house... 2am... greenhouse is doing well... not too much snow on the roof... interior temperature 35°F... time for bed.
11am... bright sun reflecting off pristine white snow... sidewalk driveway and stairs disappeared under drifts... time to shovel! Winds calm... about 10” of snow... heavy... layered within... sleet... the hubs resting... leg elevated... hearing the scrape of the shovel outside... he is unhappy that he can’t help... must rest and let the leg heal.
First the north side... heavily drifted against the house... front steps and path... now the big job... corner house... 140’ of sidewalk... 90 minutes later... sidewalk completed... sore arms... calling in reinforcements...
So and DIL arrive to help shovel out the driveway and widen the sidewalk... so grateful for their love and support... and it only cost some coffee and cookies! YAY!! What could be better 🥰❤️
Mini orange cranberry banana loaves... one recipe made eight... wrapped and froze seven for gifts... we had to taste test one to be sure they were good enough to give 😂
Chanukah menorah from a Russian Jewish gal alongside a gingerbread house and Christmas cookies for a Puerto Rican guy... a Chilean DIL and a half Italian half Russian son... we are an American family 🥰❤️
Supper tonight... split pea soup... leftover chorizo and veggies from the paella... delicious topping for the soup... a slice of coffe cake for the hubs with his nightly brew... and two Advil before bed tonite for yours truly 💕😷
How was your day? What’s on your plate? Thoughts?
