I Love Snow Days

Sunday Morning in Amherst
Pete and I took a quick trip up to Amherst to visit old friends this weekend, taking the long way through Providence to pick up our god-daughter Natalie.  It snowed from Friday night until Sunday morning -- a lovely, light snow that was nice to walk in.  We watched some vacation slide shows, took a trip to the Smith College Museum of Art, and ate too much.  We missed Clara, although I doubt she missed us, as she was sunning herself in Maui!

It is snowing here in Greenport now.  The weatherman is predicting blizzard conditions and 8 to 14 inches of snow.  I love a snow day.  I love how quiet the snow makes the world, I love being cozy inside the house, and I love shoveling, as long as it is not too heavy.  I ran out to the post office to mail an order and swung by the grocery store for some milk (like the rest of our village, lol), came home and made myself a nice latte.  I'm going to hook this afternoon, after I work on some frame guards to sell in my etsy shop.  (More about those later.)

I hope you are all at home safe and warm with a wooly rug to work on.
