As usual on Monday morning I got up at 4am, made my coffee, got ready for work then sat down to drink my coffee and check emails. That routine completed, I headed out the door to shovel my way out to the road so I could walk to work. Unfortunately when I opened my door there was a 2 foot snowbank there to greet me and some of it tumbled into the house. As I got busy cleaning up that mess, apparently some of the snow around the door frame turned to ice and I could not close my door. I tried chipping away any visible ice to no avail! I finally gave up and just propped a chair against the door to hold it closed as far as it would go. When Lyndon got home from work he was able to remove all the ice (that I obviously must have loosened! hahaha) and we were able to close the door.
As a result of the storm, the bakery wasn't so busy this morning. I baked less bread but then had extra time so I made some fresh cream puffs as a treat for anyone willing to trudge through the snow to come to the bakery as well as a delicious coconut pound cake...Mmmmm!
The neighbourhood kids are having a ball snowboarding down the hill in our back yard. Glad someone is making use of it!
