More Snow!

Well, granite counters didn't happen on Friday. We got another nor'easter Thursday night and all day Friday, which dumped more heavy wet snow on us. Kids got a snow day, DH got a snow day, and the granite guy was snowed in! So we built a nice cosy fire in the fireplace and enjoyed our snow day. I even got to go to knitting group, after I had shoveled the driveway so I could get out to the road. It continued to snow all day long, but roads were pretty clear by late afternoon. Even though I was really disappointed that my kitchen counters were delayed, it was kind of nice to have a slow day and be able to enjoy knitting group (even got a little bit of knitting done there!) and not feel the need to rush around.

Saturday was warm and sunny and melted away a lot of the snow. Youngest son had SAT test scheduled for Saturday morning, so DH got a good hot fire blazing so I could use the fireplace wood stove insert as a cooking stove (still no propane hookup for the new gas stove) to make him an omelette to fill him up so he wouldn't get hungry halfway through the test.

With the sun and the higher temperatures, up into the low 50s Saturday, it feels like we're finally leaving winter behind. I shouldn't get too complacent, as we've had April snowstorms in the past, but I'm just ready to move on to spring. We took a walk and enjoyed the sunshine, and got to see all the trees and branches throughout the neighborhood that had come down in the February blizzard. We still have some downed limbs in our back yard too. Guess we'll have some yard cleanup to keep us busy in the next month or so.

The new date for kitchen counters is Monday. No snow on the horizon.
