A huge mixed green salad loaded with sliced carrots, avocado, and croutons, eaten while looking out the back window ~ I pretend I can see red poppies growing out in the garden, presently covered in ice. The blue jay visits, looking like he's in the militia in his azure jacket. Inside, Lucy licks up all the wood bits fallen onto the fireplace bricks. (I've tried to get her to stop, but she takes such obvious pleasure in it...)
A short brisk walk in the snowy streets, picking up twigs and sticks as I go to use as kindling. Home to bring in armfuls of firewood before tonight's snowfall. Admire the shot of yellow upstairs. Pull the frozen jar of home-made beet soup out of the freezer to thaw for tomorrow's snowed-in lunch. Write a few postcards. Make plans with Tim to go to the coffeeshop tomorrow. Curl up with some embroidery and a movie tonight.
Keeping busy here. How about you?

All lovely things to do! I'm in the Amigurumi fever at the moment - crocheting along :)
Wish you a wonderful day!
That sounds absolutely perfect...I too will be home today. First we had snow and now freezing rain, there's an icy glaze over everything. The streets and the trees are like an ice rink. I suppose I'll go take some photos before later comes and it melts. Enjoy your cozy day!
mmmm, I love collecting wood for a fire. I have been very busy indeed, walking all over the city with the hubs to find free art museums, crocheting a blanket, painting yellow birds, making cinnamon rolls, and watching Audrey Hepburn movies.
Sounds so good. I went for a walk on the beach and the light was great for photos ~ (we had SUN and blue skies!!) Spent an hour or two in my studio; made a hearty and warming mulligatawny soup from scratch; lit the fire; Oh...and air dried clothes out on the line today...they smell so fresh and good :~) Have a lovely Tuesday.
wide-eyed ~ I saw the things you are crocheting, such fun! I really enjoyed your mountains post recently: I put a link to it in my odds & bobs over on my sidebar. :) Love that dog of yours...
Julie ~ I suspect you live on the east coast too. It was an icy glaze this morning before the floods started when it thawed this afternoon. We did get to the coffeeshop which was nice.
Keia ~ Your day sounds great! :)
Helen ~ You too, your day sounds so lovely. I love line dried clothes too. :)
How sweet of you :)
