The air is thick with a prestorm menace. You wouldn't need a weather person to tell you that we are about to have a significant snow event. I wish we weren't teetering just below the freezing mark. We're bound to get periods of wintry mix and that's never fun. No one likes ice mixed in with that dense shower of snow.
But none of this begins in the morning. For now, our roads are clear and the farmette lands have only yesterday's light snow cover.
Breakfast feels especially cozy on these wintry mornings.
The kids come, the morning of play unfolds.
(Someone got a haircut at home!)
A new game is introduced, whereby Snowdrop wants to pose for photographs.
This one too is part of her creation.
We do squeeze in some outdoor play time as well, but I tell you, that prestorm air feels shivery cold. We don't stay out long.
At home, I check and recheck the pantry supplies. Getting a storm today through tomorrow, and having another holiday period come at us immediately after, with a second snow event anticipated on the first day of the new year has you counting your eggs and milk cartons. One more delivery, just one more, late at night as the storm comes at us full force.
A frittata for dinner. I mean, you have to bring out your comfort foods on days when your nose is one cold icicle all day long.
