We had a snow day yesterday–so there was no going in to work–but there was plenty of work to be done at home.

Daughter #2 and I toiled with shovels to clear the long expanse of driveway which was covered with 10-12 inches of flyover snow. In 0-degree weather.

It was cold. Bundled up as we were with our Philmont gear and layers of clothing, it was still so cold.

But we worked on and cleared a trail.

And then we drank wine in front of the fire in the afternoon. And read books.

It was 5 o’clock somewhere.
