The Morning After

It snowed almost all day yesterday.  The temperature hovered just above freezing, and the snow melted and packed as it fell, lowering the accumulation total.  It's difficult to say exactly how much snow we got ... the wind was blowing a gale, and we have drifts in some places and little or nothing in others.  If I had to make a guess, I'd say that there's 6 to 8 inches out there. 
 
It sure is pretty, looking at the view from my spot here at the kitchen bar counter ... Ruby thinks so, too.

 

 

We lost power for about four hours during the worst of the storm.  There are folks west of here who are still without electricity ... my parents, first and foremost.  I will check in on them shortly to see if their power is back yet.  If it isn't, I will offer them our generator ... it's enough for them to run lights, refrigeration, and a heater.

 

I changed my mind yesterday, and I worked in the basement instead of in my sewing room.  I'll show you what I was working on when I finish it.
