Ready for It
Hubby and I are ready for the big snow storm we are supposed to receive during the night. We have plenty of groceries in the house and I am smack dab in the middle of putting a quilt together. I would love nothing more than to be stuck in front of my sewing machine while watching the snow build up on the ground outside. I have heard that people complain of cabin fever. I am not experiencing that at all.
I feel bad for the people who have to travel long distances to work. If they don’t work, they don’t get paid. They have to get out on the dangerous roads no matter the danger. I feel bad for the animals. I wonder if deer get cold. Do ground hogs get crabby when the weather freezes their whiskers? We have gold fish in our pond that survive each winter. We have pond fountains that run to keep the water from freezing but still keep a cattle type heater in the water too. Our fish don’t even require food during the winter months. They must live off the algae because they are always there come summer. It amazes me that they survive through the winter.
I understand that there are areas of the US that are receiving snow that are not used to that type of weather. It sounds like they enjoy getting a bit of snow for the first time in years. Now, they can get that cozy, stay at home feeling that I enjoy. Cabin fever? It hasn’t bitten me.

The fish don’t need to eat when the temperature drops below a certain temperature (I think it is 45 degrees or something). Their metabolism slows like they are hibernating, so they won’t eat at lower temps.
I’m sort of tired of the gloomy skies and the dirty snow that is left over. Although, I would KILL for a weekend with absolutely nothing to do but quilt. Sigh. I haven’t done that in years. Can I come over??

The snow hasn’t started here yet, I just hope it isn’t that bad that I can make it down to NJ for the Superbowl on Sunday.

Sounds like you have all the right recipes for being snowed in! Hope you don’t lose power! Have fun quilting too!
