It’s snowing today. It has snowed a bit here and there this month, but the first really significant amount of winter is expected today – 3 to 6 inches – although I realize that amount wouldn’t be considered “significant” by many of you.
My empty shepard’s hook in that picture, as well as Robin and Bob, have been reminding me that I still need to get out and replace my bird feeder. The squirrels destroyed mine last summer and I never got around to replacing it.
My blog post title reminds me vaguely of a favorite children’s book I used to read with my girls: A Summery Saturday Morning. Quite the opposite today.
My blog post content today gets some inspiration from Kathy:
I was following my usual Saturday morning routine, drinking coffee and reading blogs. I knew I wanted to post today, but the thoughts weren’t quite jelling in my head. Kathy wrote a post about an ordinary day, but made it extraordinary with her writing skills. I don’t have Kathy’s writing skills, but sometimes I can tell an interesting story. Hell, maybe this won’t be too interesting, but I think it will satisfy my desire to blog today!
After noticing the snow and the tight rhododendron leaves this morning, my thoughts turned to the somewhat evil purchase I made:
Have you heard of Paczki (pronounced “poonch-key”) before? They are crazy, over-stuffed Polish donuts that are only made in the few weeks before Mardi Gras:
Our local supermarket chain, Big Y, makes a big deal about them every year, and every year I get suckered into buying a box. I regret it after I eat them. I’ve got that cruise coming up in April – paczki will NOT help me look alright in my bathing suit! I think I better spend some time doing this today:
Wii players! Highly recommended for a fun workout game! The different songs you can play even give you “sweat levels” so you can gauge how much of an aerobic workout you might get.
A snowy day also brings opportunities for watching the furry ones enjoy themselves:
Gotta love a doggy snow-beard!
And this picture has absolutely nothing to do with anything I’m writing about today, but I still find it blog-worthy:
(What do you think, Kathy, a step in the right direction? 
)
Well that was a thoroughly disjointed and rambling blog post! Enjoy your Saturday, snowy or otherwise!
