The snow is falling. Schools are closed. Flights canceled. The plows are out. Except for their rumblings the air is still. As I sit here I wonder what we will do today -- besides shoveling after the storm passes. We girls have several projects in the wing, games to play, sledding, hot chocolate with whipped cream, and there is always baking. Is it bad to look forward to ginger snaps or shortbread before the morning oatmeal?These storms are gifts of time together. We stop and pause. Taking a collective breath, while the sugar shack sleeps. No worries shack, your time will come. All this snow is necessary for maple sugarmaking.
postscript At 1PM there is 16 inches of snow... That's a lot of snow, and it's still coming. Maybe no school tomorrow.... Time will tell.
(postscript)2 No school tomorrow.

I agree, today was no school here and we had a really nice day, just us chickens.
