It started snowing late Sunday morning and now, as of Tuesday 2 p.m., it is still snowing.

I’ve gained 2 pounds this weekend and discovered that I can no longer shovel with the physical prowess I used to have.

Mama Wink, my blue budgie, has laid two more eggs but she doesn’t appear to be sitting on them.

My neighbor used his snow blower on our walks so I gave him a beer to thank him. Teenager #1 tried to toss it to him and landed it in the snow in the yard. And the snow sucked it in like quicksand.

Last night the teens made “snow ice cream” and today I made a blueberry coffee cake.
