Dullsville

We are living in a nightmare. It’s so ugly outside and so dull. No people walking, no bright sunshine, no cars traveling. Piles of snow all over the place taller than humans! We, who love to take morning walks, can’t even do that. There are huge patches of snow and ice on the road. No sidewalks in our little town. So, we have to make our own fun. Hubs and I are going to make a salad and pop a Lou Malnati’s sausage deep dish Chicago pizza into the oven. We have a selection of movies from which to choose and Big Sky to watch. No martini until Friday, but a glass of wine will be welcome. I am not a fan of living in Dullsville.

I know how you feel that you cannot do anything but stay inside of a home during a snowstorm.

That’s so true, unless we bundle up to shovel or make a snowman, but those days are long gone.

@DianneN I know what you mean during the time where there was no electrical power for four weeks during Hurricanes Laura and Delta, my relatives had to stay outside of the home due to the heat.

I'm not a fan of living in snowsville either. But when it snows heavy is not a day I have to work. But eventually I need to force my way out whether I like it or not.

@DianneN someone else couldn't open their doors either. Maybe it was Marilyn.

Some of our doors can’t open due to the weight of the snow. I forced myself too many times to drive to school and had to drive home in blizzards.

To me it's still beautiful but I know it's different having to live with it. My goodness it's like powdered sugar everywhere. I know you and your husband will make the most of a cozy time indoors . . . stay warm!!!

@DianneN Oh that's right - you get that free heat

! Will come in handy, that's for sure. I am still amazed how your top photo looks like a black and white photo - but I know it's not!!

@much2say We are so lucky, thanks to our son. Fuel oil is so expensive. It does look like a black and white photo. It never entered my mind! That means I am getting used to winters in Connecticut again. Don’t want that.

It may look like powdered sugar, but it’s heavy and so morbid outside. We are very warm thanks to free heat!

Oh. With such outside conditions, obviously you cannot venture outside. However I am sure you would have devised ways to make good use of your time indoors.

@DianneN In fact, we were sitting on a bench in a nearby park today. I had a jacket on over a shirt and felt like removing the jacket for some time. If the trend continues, summers are not far!

I do workouts and use our home gym. The stairs are just extra exercise from running up and down them all day. My tush is very firm.

I can make a snowman for an hour there. But I think I can use a snowblower to kill the time.

Wow! Those pictures are truly beautiful. I don't see anything dull about them. However, I know how disappointed you are with no bright sunshine, snow everywhere, and can't go for your daily walk. I hope you enjoyed the pizza and movie selection on your dull day.
