Catriona, I just sent those pic links to a friend who had to shovel off her deck after the last storm, yours in the "it could have been worse!" category. Holy smokes, that's a lot of snow!!

I was able to open the side door a few inches this morning, just enough for the (insane) tuxedo cat to slip out. My morning entertainment -- watching him trying to negotiate his way through the snow. At least he is smart enough to use the tracks he's already made for the return trip.

Almost the first thing I did this morning, even before making coffee and showering, was shoveling. Just my porch, and only part of it, but hey I was out there! (Not as far out there as mickchick, who obviously made it out to her street to take pictures, but I did pass through the door to do more than put food out for animals!)

aicabsolut, I would absolutely share brownies with you if I could! I'd have to bake 'em first, but I can do that, I can do that!

Might make pumpkin bread today, as I'm almost out. I made whole wheat-oatmeal-honey bread yesterday and had some of that for breakfast this morning. That's my favorite homemade yeast bread. Yum yum!
