Hibernating

It's been snowing in our neck of the woods. A lot.


The winter storm watch started yesterday morning and by the end of the day we had at least a foot of snow.


Still Joe and I ventured out (like crazy people) to celebrate a friend's birthday and watch Tang Concubines at the theatre. Which I thoroughly enjoyed! The performance was spectacular - the dancers pulled off moves I've only ever seen in Cirque du Soleil performances. The costumes are dazzling, the stories interesting and the music majestic. It's a little saucy too: At one point the mother of 2 young boys leaned over and suggested they cover their eyes!


It was quite the hair-raising journey to get there and back (snowy roads on the way there and a pea-souper of a fog on the way back). But we made it home safe and sound and when we woke up this morning it was still snowing! Big, wet, heavy drops of snow. (I'm hoping that once all this snow clears up our lawn will start to look a little more like grass and a little less like straw!)


Needless to say I won't be going anywhere today. If at all this weekend. Which means good hibernation time -- watching movies, hanging out with my hubby, baking and trying to make a dent in my mound of work. Oh and knitting, of course!


To all my local girls - stay warm and safe!
