We didn’t believe
The forecast: fifteen inches?
Then it all started
And it didn’t stop.
We had no plans this weekend,
So we hunkered down.
We watched the newest
Harry Potter (kind of slow),
The Hangover (shrug),
And episodes of
30 Rock, curled up under
Blankets and Slanket.
We ate no-knead bread,
Butternut squash soup, pretzels,
Mushroom lasagna —
Heavy comfort foods
Perfect for a weekend spent
Cozy, comatose.
I baked two batches
Of brownies for gift-giving
And finished a book.
We wore comfy clothes,
Watched Penn State make history,
And slept in, of course.
We watched a squirrel
Dodge flakes, and Ted gazed outside
Oh-so-longingly.
When we ventured out,
Ted frolicked and leaped around
In snow past my knees.
Not a day off, sure,
But these two snowbound days were
Just what we needed.

I am in South Carolina taking care of my Grandmother and MISSED the snow!!! I did a really good job at feeling sorry for myself (and my lack of snow). Preston assured me that walking the dogs in the snow was the opposite of the fun, which helped a little bit (but not enough, arg). Glad you all had a cozy weekend, though!
It sounds so lovely! I’m glad you were able to just stay in and relax.
Darling. We had a great weekend too, just staying home all day yesterday. It’s nice sometimes, isn’t it?
I didn’t believe the forecast, either. I guess this is the part where we eat our hats?
