Happy Hour Before the Storm
All the shelves of eggs at Food Lion were bare. We met with our friend Susanna for a drink and some post-holiday cheer the night before the predicted snowstorm.
Our first snowstorm of the season turned out to be ice.
Freezing rain is typical for this part of the country, as if Virginia can’t decide if it’s north our south, so it rains and then freezes. 
Our nephew David, who was here for the weekend, had never seen anything like it.
Winter isn’t just for the birds.
It was a good day for chili and scrabble, and someone watched a football game on TV.

Happy New Year to you and yours, Colleen! Despite that beautiful but frosty covering, you all look so warm and cozy.

To you as well, Penelope! The beauty of the ice and woodstove warmth helped us get through the winter storm mentality.
