Snowbound

We're in the middle of a blizzard!  It's been drifting and blowing and coming down hard for probably 12 hours now.  To give you an idea of how deep it is - in our side yard, where it's somewhat sheltered from wind effects, the birdbath is almost buried. Will has bundled up for the third time, and he's out shoveling the sidewalk (again). Liam is with him. Timothy and I are not so hardy.

It has been a cozy day, snug in our house.  Earlier we made play dough, rolled it and used cookie cutters to make ornaments.  Then we put up the Christmas tree and decorated it.  I ran on the treadmill, and did a little knitting.  I even got four Christmas cookies out of the stash in the freezer, for a treat when Will and Liam get inside.

I was forced to postpone the annual shopping trip with Amy, which was supposed to be today.  I'm sad about that, but even so, it is sort of nice to be snowbound with the ones I love best.
