Wintry mix

We woke up to the sound of shoveling(!) on our dock.  Yes, it's the mid-Atlantic "wintry mix" that screws with all plans.........snow, sleet, and freezing rain.  One of my best friends in the whole wide world was planning on visiting from Philadelphia, but the weather trumped our hopes of catching up today.......watch out weather, there's always next week!  We WILL make this happen :)

It was so crappy outside that David didn't go to West Marine for a few parts today.  So any plans for us to be productive flew right out the frozen portholes.  We spent the day reading, napping, knitting, and generally being L-A-Z-Y.  A perfect winter day if you ask me!

David made lamb stew with sweet potatoes for Valentine's dinner

Don't have Valentine's napkins, so snowflakes will have to do.

I made warm chocolate raspberry cake for dessert (negated all calories burned at the fitness center!)

We need help finishing the cake!

Today we woke up to snow-covered portholes.

A true "wintry mix" fell all day.

Strange phenomenon in the marina

Warm and comfy down below

By this evening, a glaze of ice covered everything.
We hope all our friends stayed safe and warm during this latest winter storm!
