Snowbound

 
 
 
 
I like this photo taken through our front window  because there's blue sky behind the icicles.
 
Which is nice.
 
Because it means, for now at least, it's not snowing.
 
Three feet of snow in three days and I've been housebound.
 
Here's a summary of my rural life this week.
 
I watched my car slowly disappear from view.
 
 
I watched the elk descend from the mountain,
through our homestead and cross the street.
(Yes, that is a For Sale sign in our yard.
We put our house on the market this week.
And no, we're not sure where we moving to. Yet.
But I'm hoping for someplace that doesn't snow in April.)
 
 
 
I watched my husband brave the elements and attempt to dig us out.
 
 
 
 
 I cooked.
 
 
 
 
 
 I baked.
 
 
 
 
 
I baked some more.
 
 
 
And I took photographs.
 
I think I need to make a trip to the store for more flour before it starts snowing again.

Snow Day



This is my kind of snow day.

Gently sifting white confetti.

Tranquil.

Peaceful.


Made from scratch beef stock.

Liquid love.

Simmering.

Its warm aroma fills our little home.


I'm content.


And more blessed than a woman has a right to be.
