There is one thing that is true in the South about snowstorms. You can tell who is a Northern transplant by the state of their driveway and sidewalks. Southerners wait for the snow to melt. Northerners shovel. Once the snow stopped, we got about eight inches here in my town, and a foot an hour…

More context helped – we had a light dusting of snow last night It accentuated all the cracks on my walk to work I should probably replace this sidewalk but I kind of like the cracks.

Whoa, it is cold as hell on the east coast with no end in sight yet. Fortunately we are west of where the “bomb cyclone” is hitting today and tomorrow. Don’t you just love the names for these weather events? “Polar vortex” is my favorite. I hope that it doesn’t kill many animals. My heart…

Sub-title: Getting my shit together, but with a lot of self-care I signed up for this online 100 Day Project, in which you are supposed to make a commitment and post online about what you do on a project of your choice each day. I have a bad habit of doing things like this and…

I didn’t go out much in the snow, but I did begin weaving “Cathedral” again. We used the wood stove for a couple of days, watched a couple of movies, and I almost finished the first book of the Poldark series. The TV series follows the book pretty closely, so far.
