Option Two

It’s fairly cold outside—twenty-some degrees.  And dark.  We received a couple inches of snow last night.  Just a few minutes ago, big winds kicked up what we call a “ground blizzard.”  That’s where snow from the ground is swept up into the air and driven across the landscape in wide white rivers.  These rivers never rise above a few feet off the ground and seem impassable.
This morning, a white river is crashing directly against my back door.
Normally, at this time of day, I step outside that very door and soak in my hot tub.
Not today.         
Today: Dot’s Homestyle Pretzels, 20 pounds of housecat, and more coffee.
If you have never considered pretzels for breakfast…that’s because you have never tried Dot’s!
