Duvet of White

The short spears of green that were seen last Friday were covered by another blanket of snow this past Saturday.

AGAIN. 

The good thing was that the early snow melted as it fell.

And the wind wasn't as fierce as  predicted so no shoveling needed this go-round!

I turned to come in and looked again and saw this heart. It made me smile as hearts are my "thing" around here.

One of these days I will be out cleaning the flower beds that have been protected by all the brown leaves. Until then, I'll be keeping warm with my own quilts because who knows when spring will come to eastern Colorado?

SNOW DAY

The resident fairies have a 

snow day today!

The wind blew last night and the decision was made to call off school. Country roads blow shut because of the drifting snow. There was a school east of Colorado Springs that had to keep their children over night because of the blowing snow. Glad our kids were HOME and safe!  I still need to go out and do some shoveling in the sunshine.

SUPER SIZE

School lunches in my day were not memorable. Well, maybe there is one. More than thirty years ago a particular lunch at school had me thinking I was pregnant. I clearly remember THAT lunch. Stewed tomatoes with macaroni and cheese. Almost lost my lunch that day. I HATE tomatoes. And canned stewed tomatoes would be the worst!  Don't even like anything made with them.  I am weird that way.

Turns out I was pregnant!

Lunches these days are quite tasty and our cooks do a nice job, even though there are days I don't eat in the lunchroom. Those would be the days when there is something made with tomatoes. Oh, and I cannot eat canned green beans. EVER!

We have fresh fruit of some kind every day. Like the small apple on the right. The kids can have either a whole apple or just half of one.

The super sized one on the right is what we got on Friday! Apparently the supplier shipped the wrong size! It would be enough for 4 or 5 kids.

The teachers going through the lunch line could take a large apple, if we wished. Almost five inches tall.

I think I'll make an apple crisp

 and enjoy it for several meals!
