I never thought I would be doing this. I am writing a post to defend Dora.

Tuesday, January 16th, 2007Snowed In
Monday, January 15th, 2007On Saturday I really enjoyed being snowed in. I spread birdseed all over our ground floor porch, which is sheltered by the two apartments’ decks above it, and on the grass around the railing. Then I put hot water and a bit of food on the porch railing.
That night, though, I called and received an order for some of my homemade good food from a woman we would have seen at Holy Mass yesterday in Topeka. When I looked at the weather forecast I realized there was no way we could drive to Holy Mass. We didn’t, either – we stayed home and inside all day Saturday and Sunday, except when I joyfully went out in the sleet yesterday afternoon to get the mail.
