I spoke too soon. After dusk the temperature plummeted to 21o so the accumulation is now case-hardened ice and worse than before to walk or drive on.
It has only been a few days but cabin fever is setting in. I'm ready to head out and drop off stuff at the library and get some more fresh produce, but it isn't safe driving now, so I'll dive into the freezer for a bag of green beans and the library DVDs will wait a day or two to be dropped off (they don't charge fines but they do so many automatic renewals that there isn't really a good excuse to not return stuff eventually).
The gardening business stuff is all a jumble right now as I wait for the new site to work properly and let me get fully logged in. It fails to send the email authentication (and I check the spam filter regularly).
I have a book for the docent book club to finish in the next three weeks and can spend some time with that as a good distraction, and my sewing studio beckons. I have a project sitting on the table in there that I started over the holidays and should finish before it collects dust.
