1/11/11 Snow day #2

Beautiful day. Delicious breakfast~ egg scramble with cheese and salsa, sweet grits, crisp buttery cakes, and the best coffee yet. We had an awesome walk in the snow - up into the field, watched the horses, Smokey had a hard time on the ice-covered snow. Her paws would slide for a minute before breaking through. Took some beautiful pictures... white white snow, white sky, black trees and colorful leaves. Brought Casey to my favorite hilltop in the woods. It sings to me. The energy instantly lifts when you leave the farm's property and head to this place.

Spent the rest of the day cleaning, drinking tea, relaxing, and cooking. Incredible lunch. Grilled buttery sandwich with queso dip, rosemary spread, salad mix and sprouts with split pea soup and fruit.

Casey napped much of the day... a much needed rest for him. Smokey snuggled up with him under the covers... so adorable. He made an interesting point today. It's pretty cool how you can take just a couple days off work out here and feel like you've been gone a week. Today without electronics and distractions, relaxing by the fire felt like one of the longest of my life. We don't need to try and live longer lives... just better!!
