Snowy Days! (and freezing nights)

The snow finally arrived on Saturday evening, just as I was leaving for a show at our local theatre. The big fluffy flakes made driving interesting, but I made it to Sister's Christmas Catechism anyway. The show was a very funny, irrelevant look at a Christmas Pageant, through the eyes of a Catholic school with lots a audience participation. Here is the garden, bright and early on Sunday morning. The poor plants are well covered. We got about 4" of snow overnight.

Here's Anni at the part, enjoying the snow. In addition to the snow, we had a day where it grew colder as the day went by. Our high temperatures for the next 5 days are predicted to be below freezing, with night temps dipping into the low 20's. Can you say brrrrrr?

In other news, we finished getting our Christmas cards ready for mailing out this evening.

We also cooked up a storm, making David's favorite; an old fashioned potroast in the crockpot with homemade wholewheat-oatmeal bread. I also did a loaf of banana-oatmeal bread for breakfast tomorrow. The kitchen smelled soooooo gooooood!
