Whats Happening to my world?

I don't understand. I don't know what is happening to my world. Never in my life, and me being of sound mind and advanced age, have I seen this much ice and snow in TX.  Sure, we have had a couple days of snow and ice per year and we all squeal like piggies and delight in it but this is going on days.... and now its snowing. I haven't been out of my house since Tuesday and that became perilous on my way home that evening and since then here I am.  Paul's little car was trying to turn into the driveway yesterday and instead, it slid on down the road.  I mean, whats happening... and as I said...now its snowing.  I'm not sure if  TX can cope ...I mean seriously, they turned off our heat for 15 minutes every hour because of the stress of power usage and here I am in a cabin in the woods with a baby and my heat is being turned off.... its not like we have emergency back up things..  sigh.... and then, just coming back from LA and being on TV...and now snow and ice ... within 2 weeks I am on TV  and then catapulted into a world of snow...whats happening, is this the end?  :)
And I have basically used an entire huge bag of bird seed to feed the birds because they are hungry toooo... and the squirrels...there are a ton right on my deck... keeps the baby happy, sitting by the window looking at all the critters.  
Can't have a snow day without pizza.
Annah decided to make snow muffins.... I told her they would melt and turn into water but for some reason she was convinced she had seen it on tv...that you can bake snow and eat it.   So I decided that we shall make snow muffins.
Annah gets all ready with mismatched gloves and the jumbo muffin pan.

And she's off!
Scooping up snow and carefully arranging it into the pan.

Coming back
Lets bake!

Into the oven our snow muffins go

Annah is feeling cheated at this point. All that effort

And Wahlah!!!! Snow Muffins!


She refuses to be interviewed about her muffins melting.... not something she wants to admit....

Hope your having a warm and cozy day!!!!  :-)

  2. It's crazy, isn't it? Tell Annah all great chefs, artists, etc. have their less than perfect moments! Although I love the idea of snow muffins!

  3. Hi, Libby. Remember that song "You'll get used to it"? Well... Hopefully it will warm up and you can get back to normal. A generator back-up might be a good idea.

  4. This weather has been crazy and I kinda chuckle to myself because all of these Super Bowl expectations have been dashed. WHAT?! *smile*

    Hilarious that Annah baked her snow muffins. :) Kids are so funny.

    Hang in there - we're gonna be okay.

  5. Hey Libby, I have some redneck cousins who would probably pay good money for those snow muffins.
