There is a song I know, Lies by Stan Rogers, which has a line in it about pouring Carnation into a cup of coffee. I don't drink coffee but can see the logic behind this. Carnation is shelf stable milk and sugar-somethings many people put in their coffee. I suggested this to Zed and he tried this and now there is a partial can of condensed milk in the fridge. Today we ended up with a two liter bottle of rootbeer with the pizzas for dinner, I added some of the condensed milk. It was a rootbeer float without having any ice cream. Other things on my happy list for today:
- Some shoveling happened today, then Zed got in touch with our friend with a plow. I didn't measure the snow, but I think it was at least six inches. It was great to see a friend today, even if only for a few minutes.
- I planted some of the geranium seeds I collected last year. I am skeptical that they will grow-not only because this is the first time I've tried this. I'm concerned that the cellar area is too cold. There might be a plant heating pad in my future.
- I remembered to pay my mortgage! Sometimes this is easy to forget, I think because I don't live there.

| This was shoveled when Bel and Folke went to bed last night. The picture was taken about an hour later, maybe. |

| I forgot to take nice pictures of the snow... |
