...2.2...Over the (snowy) Weekend...

...we got an early start on a weekend that was supposed to be a major snow event...

...so we had vegan waffles...

...then we made a quick grocery run...

...pretty much normal stuff...we've been having a lot of trouble finding organic soy milk for some reason...so we were thankful that aldi had some...

...we cooked an Instant pot full of yellow eyes...

...and got those stored in Tupperware...some for the week ahead and some for the freezer...we're not really worried too much about losing power this weekend because it's so cold that it's supposed to be a light powdery snow not a heavy wet one with ice...

...and sure enough...just about 4:00...it started to snow...

...and it's been so cold that it started to pile up quickly...

...so of course we bundled up and went for a little neighborhood walk...

...it's sticking on the sidewalks...

...but not yet on the roads...

...but it's sifting down through the trees and carpeting the woods...those are the big boulders that the little ones climbed on when they were visiting last spring...

...snow on the palm trees...

...and the river rocks around the lamp posts...

...and then back home...snow is so unusual here...they said on the news that the local photographers were inundated with calls for family and engagement photos in the snow...and the neighborhood children were certainly enjoying it...

~Wishing you a lovely start to your week!
