Yesterday was spent cleaning the den, a daunting task. In my parents home the den is the most convenient room off the living room - as such, over time, it turned into the general "catch everything temporarily" room, except that temporarily turned out to be, as near as I could tell by the dates on envelopes, about six years.
It actually wasn't that bad - it was a jumble of stuff and a lot of half-filled boxes that had to be gone through. There is still another two or three hours in there, but it is shuffling and organizing hours. Figure two hours there and another hour to sweep through the living room and that will make a big difference. I've already made a big difference.
Today however was pretty much a day of rest. As you can see from the pictures, snow is the landscape of the day. We are in the middle of a major winter storm that has half the state shut down and the other half creeping through the ice. It is not really a bad storm in this part of the state, it is cold, heavy, wet snow - but the wind is not to bad.
I took a nice long nap mid-afternoon and right now I am sitting in front of the TV watching "The Outlaw Josey Wales" with Bill, waiting for the lasagna to finish up in the oven. Other than the aforementioned cleaning, I don't really have anything special planned tonight. When you are in the grip of a winter storm here in South Dakota, you just kind of settle in and wait for it to pass.
