The rest of the family are definitely not hibernators.  Many snow structures appeared while I was gone.  Sledding, and even some shoveling, got done.  K and friends rolled the biggest snowball in the world down the hill at Blackburn Park!  E built a substantial igloo–in the dark!  Y made a perfect snowman, and S piled up a large mound.  For Shabbat, E baked a hearty bread and Avdi made a beef stew.  See what I miss when I’m “snowed in”?

I made up for it by spending the night (and eating too much good food), so Avdi and Jess could go out.  They stayed close to home, because the city still isn’t really plowed.  No doubt Repubs don’t like to fund infrastructure and public works.  I hung around Sunday, while A worked or ran errands.  My little downstairs prop garden keeps expanding with “experiments”!
