It's a Blizzard Out There!

We are having a regular blizzard today.  
When it's windy like this we can hardly keep the place warm, so much cold air comes in around the windows, so Jim and I are sitting in front the the fireplace.  
I was knitting and Jim was napping, but now I'm blogging and he's video watching.  
He can find all sorts of things to watch, from building houses to cooking food to restoring
"B" John Deeres.

We may be in but the birds are enjoying the feeder. 


This is just the right kind of day to make doughnuts.  
But, I won't.
There aren't enough people in this house to eat them anymore and I don't want to risk anyone's life to take them anywhere or have people come to get some.  
The days are gone now when all the kids were home on a snow day and we would eat fresh homemade doughnuts until we were sick.  
Or, at least I would.  

My dad was a teacher so a snow day meant all of us were home together.  
That's where I learned to make, and eat, doughnuts. 

Making doughnuts now means planning a time when we are all together or a day when I can deliver them.  

I think Jim and I will make candy instead.
