The forecast was saying that it would snow throughout the day today and into tomorrow, but it's quite clear out, and the sun is shining. The snow from yesterday has been blown into all sorts of pretty shapes, and there are dunelike drifts everywhere you look. I'll take some pictures and share 'em with you. I'm quite literally snowed in until I can get the road plowed, but I'm a little disappointed that it was only a one-day blizzard; I was prepared to have to hold onto a rope tied to the woodpile to get wood and go slowly insane from the sound of the wind. No luck there.
Yesterday I combed back through everything I'd written and did a whole lot of revising, then shared with a few folks to get some comments. I think I've got quite a strong beginning to the book, and I know where it needs to go. It's just a matter of writing it down.
Leftovers, leftovers, leftovers yesterday. As much as bacon-y wild rice is delicious, I'm a little sick of it. So today I'm going to strip the chicken carcass and make some soup. I'm also missing green chile, which I'm not used to doing without for so long. (Thankfully, I'd anticipated this and brought some up with me. Go, foresight!) I also nabbed some Have-A Chips from Mountain Mama, which are the most addictive tortilla chips on the planet. I'm pretty sure the secret ingredient is peyote.
Now, off to shovel the walks to the outhouse, the woodpile, the shed and the garage and to start chopping up some of the bigger logs in the woodpile, and also take a little walk and snap some pictures of the pretty.
Mmmmm ... peyote chips!
