What do you do when a storm's a-comin? Hunker down, of course: lay in supplies and prepare for some time at home.
But, this unexpected, late (late, LATE) winter storm has re-calibrated my nesting instincts. Tonight I don't want to prepare soup, stew, or cocoa. In fact, I'm making ratatouille-- a warm reminder of sunny days with summer vegetables. And if school is called off tomorrow? I won't be playing in the snow; I'll busy myself starting seeds.
Oh, I'm ready for a break... it's just not quite the one we may have tomorrow.

I hope you get your day off and are able to start many seedlings that will grow in the spring.
ReplyDeleteI like your brave look towards Spring with what you are cooking and you will do if snow calls a day off.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you! I won't be heading out to the store, but I think I will raid the fridge, freezer and garage to make a nice summer recipe. Good idea!
ReplyDeleteThis storm should miss us. A good thing since we already have to add days to the end of our school year.
