Sunday morning- 7am- On my way out to get the paper. Snow drifts up past my knees. And so cold.
Sunday afternoon- around 1pm. The Fella and I head out with our shovels. We were met by a big green tractor driven by our neighbor. He helped us dig out.
Sunday night- 7pm. We enjoyed some yummy leftover chili. I got up early on Saturday morning and made both chili and lasagna- the latter is for dinner tonight.
