Today the forecast is for freezing rain, sleet, and ice pellets (honestly, can anyone who is not a meterologist tell the difference?). I had to head up to the workshop, and walking on 1/16″ of ice on gravel, uphill, is really really hard. Although back in my day we had to walk that way to school, and it was uphill both ways…

So, with nothing better to do, we decided to cook. We made a pot of venison chili. Cabol made bananananana muffins. And chocolate cookies with chocolate chips in them. And corn bread. And maybe some more cookies with butterscotch chips in them. And I’ll probably make a loaf of bread later in the machine.

At least we’ll be set if we can’t go anywhere for a day or two. I think it’s supposed to let up outside tomorrow morning, but even now I know we won’t be able to get the truck down the driveway without sliding into the pond or the sheep, and I doubt anything will melt until the sun has been up for a few hours tomorrow.
