Perfect cheesecloth coffee and the first oatmeal of the season.
It snowed last night. It stuck last night.

It's still snowing now, and I'm in my pajamas, at 11 am, blissed out by the loveliness of a morning kept for myself. First snows are high on my list of favourite things. The first snowfall and then the first time it sticks. I love how the cosines factor of a home increases exponentially as soon as it falls.

I am a happy girl. I am thinking of bailing on plans to go out tonight, even, holing up in here just sounds so perfect. Plus: if it keeps up, I'm gonna need to take a sled down the hill.
You can't fail to properly greet the first snow.

Loosley on the agenda, as well, today, are the following things:
1) Work on my immigration application. (It's time, kids, it's been 8 years!)
2) Figure out the logistics of turning the farm into a non-profit.
3) Figure out the logistics of a mini-road trip, in a truck. I may have purchased a used kick wheel, four hours from here. Oops?
4) Bake: carrot (cup)cakes, carrot walnut scones, pies, shortbread, caramels, chocolates, etc. Saturdays are busy days at the market.
5a) If not bailing on the party tonight, concoct a costume on an open theme.
5b) If bailing on the party tonight, try to persuade others to do so as well, and have a sled-riding, hot cocoa, wood fire fest instead. (I adore that I essentially live on a small commune.)
6) Rework the CSA brochure.
(More of a weekend job, but in the interest of making immediate lists..)

Ah. I hope you're all happy and well. I hope it's snowing there, too.
