The first snowflakes of the storm began to fly as I walked out of church this morning. My mind had wandered a bit while waiting for church to begin. I'd made notes on prep I could do before this storm. Back home I called for Whip and walked out to Sleipnir. At the beginning of each month I water the plants overwintering in there. Getting there means walking through ankle deep snow - if the forecast is correct it will be much deeper by tomorrow. Watering them a few days early will save me making a new path through even deeper snow. I wanted Whip out w/ me because she doesn't like storms. Better to get her out and about now than later when I'd have to push her out the door. Monday is garbage pickup day. Technically, I'm suppose to have my garbage curbside by 6 a.m. but they never pick mine up before 11 a.m. While the storm should end tomorrow morning I don't know when the plow guy will make it to my place. I took the garbage out and heaved the bin up atop an existing drift. Wanted it far enough back from the road so the plow could easily clear the shoulder. Hopefully, the snow will fill in around it and keep it from blowing out onto the road. The rest of the day was filled w/ making hot cider and watching the storm blow through.
