Can you say Cabin Fever?? On the one hand, we’re happy to be home safe and sound, on the other, WE’VE BEEN STUCK IN THE HOUSE FOR 36 HOURS, AND THERE’S NO END IN SIGHT. Roads are closed all over Denver, and those who try to drive on local roads are getting high-centered. Ben and I are wishing we bought each other snowshoes for Christmas.

So yesterday I didn’t have work, all schools were closed. Today more of the same, all government, schools, retail, are closed. So even if you could get out, where are you going to go? We might give the grocery store another try today, just to get out of the house.

So what did we do? I made turkey stock, reorganized my kitchen pantry, cleaned, cooked, knitted, watched the news, and read. Ben worked from home and read. We napped in the afternoon and played some scrabble and hanafuda in the evening.

The day was long. How the heck am I going to keep occupied today?

Wednesday mid-day.

Wednesday evening.

Thursday morning.

Wednesday afternoon we trekked to the grocery store to get cookie ingredients (very important).

I also got brussel spouts to serve with dinner.

Wednesday afternoon we had an impressive drift in the front walkway.

Wednesday evening some workers shoveled the front walks clear. By Thursday morning it looked like this

This morning Ben shoveled our back patio for a second time.

It’s light and fluffy, but DEEP! The levels shown here are non-drift snow.
