cozy wednesday.

When we went to bed last night, the snow had just started to fall. We awoke to a full-on winter wonderland outside our window. {cv} received his office closure email just prior to 7:00am, but I had to wait a little longer to make my decision about whether I would venture out into the blinding whiteness. 

I decided to hop on the treadmill and then make the call after I pounded out five miles {winter marathon training isn't all it's cracked up to be!}. Around 9:00am, it was official: there was no way my little Ford Fusion was getting out of the garage today.

Though I was cozied up on our couch in sweatpants for most of the day doing work, it proved to be a productive snow day work-wise. Here are a few pictures of our snowy day, shot on three different cameras {my Nikon Coolpix S570, my Nikon D5000, and my iPhone}...

Lucy and Gus were positively entranced by the snow, which didn't come as much of a surprise. We opened the window for a minute or two and let the snow blow in...their reactions were hilarious. Speaking of blowing snow, you can see just how hard it blew {in the weirdest direction!} if you look at the lightpole with the speed limit sign. 

I was also super excited to try out my new Hunter cable-knit socks that I bought at The Tannery while in Cambridge this past weekend. Let's say this, if you own Hunters, you MUST own these socks. I had the fleece ones before and this cable-knit version rocked my socks off...not literally though. phew! {I would've been freezing outside today!} While it was still snowing, we managed to dig out {cv}'s car and trudge around the apartment complex before retreating to the warmth.

We're hunkering in for another quiet night, though I'm sure we'll both be back at work tomorrow, even after more than a foot of snow. That's one thing about New England I'll never understand...they just get on with their lives during the winter. In southern Indiana where I grew up, a snow like this one would keep me out of school for three days or more! 

Thank you all so much for your sweet {and helpful!} comments and feedback on the bookshelves yesterday. I'm feeling encouraged! I'll definitely take pictures of the final product soon :)

Pretty please say a little prayer for me when I get out on those roads tomorrow...
stay safe and stay cozy, wherever you are.

Until then, xoxo {av}
