Wet Snow Falling

8:00

It's 7:43, 33º, with snow falling. I have been up since 6:30, alas, watching the sky lighten. The lake is half frozen, the frozen part covered with snow. When I went out to take a morning photo, I could hear the ice groaning as well as the honking of geese off in the distance. 

Tuesday was not much of a day for me, a good one for Evie at school. We were both up by 7:00 and didn't have to be on our way until 9:30, so it was an unhurried morning, with coffee, the blog, breakfast, and getting ready. Evie left for school at 9:30 in the Outback because I was taking the Kia in, again, for an appointment at 10:00. I stopped at the post office on the way and mailed the modem back to Kinetic. I arrived at the dealer at 10:00 and sat there for 2.5 hours while they tried to figure out why my air flaps weren't working. Finally, around 12:30, they needed to take the front end apart and wondered if I would come back later in the week when they could have a loaner available. What could I say but yes? Fortunately, whatever they do will be covered under warranty. I drove into Jamestown, picked up some gummies for Evie, and stopped at the Viking office to renew my Viking card for another year. And that was it for me for a Tuesday. 

I didn't get home until 1:00, had soup and a ham and cheese sandwich, and finished up my series, Millennial, and highly recommend it. I then read and napped until Evie returned around 3:00 from school. She relaxed with her show and something to eat. I should have gone for a walk but was too lazy. Instead, I put together our dinner, Ground Beef Orzo With Tomato Cream sauce. It was quick and easy to make and was done by 5:00.  Evie zoomed with her sisters, and all are doing well.

Late Afternoon Colors

We enjoyed our wine, listening to the news, and more of Trump's lies about affordability and inflation, of course. By 6:30, we were ready to eat and heated up the orzo, added a couple of cups of spinach and lots of parmesan cheese, and served it with rolls and a salad. We both liked it enough to make it again. We watched three more episodes of our obsession, All Saints, before Evie went up to bed, and I tried without much success to find a new series to watch. I started on Luther, which I have seen before, and stopped after half an hour, and went up to bed to read and sleep.
