TSS: Another Week, Another Snowstorm

Posted on 06:33 by Harry

Here we are in mid-March and still talking about snowstorms....certainly not an unusual occurrence, but we all seem particularly weather-weary this year. Let's hope Vulcan's 12" dump was the last significant snowfall of the season.

The scene//  9AM, a lazy Sunday morning, drinking coffee, reading newspapers, blogging

Reading//  Middlemarch... I'm enjoying this cast of characters very much and hope to hit the 50% mark by the end of the weekend.

Listening//  Middlemarch, again. I decided to go the total immersion route and downloaded Juliet Stevenson's narration. I will finish this book... hopefully by the end of the month.

Watching//  The Syracuse Orangemen choke in the homestretch. I know injuries are a factor, but they really crashed and burned at the ACC tournament. Mercifully, our power went out with under two minutes left in the game so we couldn't see the bitter end...most notably those six missed shots in their final offensive possession. Today is Selection Sunday, so I'll be watching the brackets fill in this evening. On to the Big Dance.

And you guys were right - I'm loving Call the Midwife.

In the kitchen//  Yesterday I posted a recipe for the Easy Fish Piccata I mentioned in last week's Sunday Salon. I'm happy to report it turned out just as well the second time.

Loving//  The pretty pink tulips I picked up at Wegmans this week. A gorgeous display was set up just inside the front door... how could I resist? They offer a striking contrast to all the white outside.


Anticipating//  A trip to Florida on Friday! Twin A is on spring break and will join us the first week... I will very happily trade all this snow for sand.


Blogging//  A regular week ahead, but I'm not sure how much I'll be around once we get to Florida. Internet access is still an issue, but I will have my laptop and plan to make several trips to the library or coffee shop.

What do you have planned for today?
