White wonderland is back!
12/01/05 6:45 A.M.
22 F, Snowing, NNW wind 5 mph.
Good morning,
It amazes me how a bit of snow on the ground, can totally change the look of mud and more or less dead vegetation into a winter wonderland. The cold and gray turns to clean and a much warmer feeling. It's like waking up to a fresh look at the world and life in general. Love it!
We are supposed to get 1-3" before noon then taper off. Another batch of snow will follow in a couple of days. At the moment the flakes are rather small, but piling up. One of the weathermen got me to chuckle last night. Instead of "lake effect snow", it is now called "lake enhanced snow"! Wonder if the snow is different. Anyway, the lake may cause us to have a longer and deeper snowfall. Will let you know.
There was a very serious accident in Kewaunee yesterday afternoon. A minivan, with a woman and three children inside, crossed the centerline and hit a full-sized pickup truck, with two women inside, head on. One of the children, 11-12 years old, was killed. The minivan burst into flame. Passer-bys pulled all of the people out of the vehicles. One was airlifted to a Green Bay hospital and ambulances from Kewaunee, Algoma, and Luxemburg took the rest to Green Bay hospitals. One of the gals in the pickup we know, the hostess at the Oakwood Inn where we occasionally have a meal. It is the first really serious accident in Kewaunee in a very long time. Hope it is even longer before the next on or better yet - never.
The chicken noodle soup was good last night. Instead of Margriet's homemade bread to go with, I had a hankering for some homemade biscuits. Got out the "Depression Cookbook" and found the old farm recipe for "Oil Biscuits." The turned out very tasty and I ate way too many of them. It has been along time since I made them. Most often, in fact almost always, I make them as drop biscuits, but this time I made them as cut biscuits instead. When all of the kids were home, I used to make them often, but doubled or tripled the recipe. They disappeared in a hurry at meal time.
Guess it is time to get the day a-going. Want to get out and enjoy the outdoor world some.
In Christ My Saviour,
