Snow update: it's CRAZY out there! Donna couldn't get out her back door, it was totally drifted shut. So she managed to get out the front and dig her way around to the barn. She reported waist high drifts, and it's still snowing and really blowing. She fed the horses extra, as she is doubting she can get back out there until sometime tomorrow. The shop cats are warm and cozy with lots of food and water (we won't be able to get into them until probably Thursday, but made sure when we left yesterday that they were okay for a few days).

The internet seems to be going a little glitchy here, but so far we have power and are safe and warm. Iowa DOT has pulled snow plows from several areas of the state - you know it's bad when not even the snowplows can get around. :( 20,000 people are reported to be without power so far....we are hoping they can all stay warm and safe. Windchills are to be as low as -10 tonight.

I have more pictures to post, but blogger seems to be glitchy, so for now here is one that Donna took from indoors.

I just found your site....yay!!

I too am in Iowa - near Anamosa. The blizzard left us with a bit of snow also! Plenty cold today, but the kids are loving the "no school" again.

I have to tell you that I am thrilled to find the Apple Pie Hooch recipe and am making it for gifts. Can I left it out of the fridge?

Yes, there is enough alcohol to make it shelf-stable...at least that is what I have found. :) have fun! :) HOpe you are dug out of the snowdrifts?!?
