A foot of snow and yucky bananas

This is the view from my back door. You can't really tell how deep it is, but it snowed about a foot in the last 24 hours. No school. Thank goodness it's sunny, though. Makes the snow not seem so bad. It's kind of pretty, but it's totally a hassle when it comes to getting around. They've done a nice job plowing the streets and my driveway is pretty clear. My husband kept up with it last night and this morning and I shoveled once after that. I've been trying to work from home, but now my work computer is not cooperating.

This picture shows the view of my driveway and better illustrates just how much snow is piled up out there! It also shows the big shadow that our house makes on our driveway. Even though the sun is out, it hardly touches my driveway and it never melts!

My son is at a neighbor's house playing. I drove him there, but I think that I'm walking to pick him up so that I don't take a chance getting stuck and so we can play out in the snow a little bit. It's pretty cold, but there's no wind now, so it's not too bad.

I had some yucky bananas, so I whipped up a quick batch of banana bread. The recipe I have makes two loaves. We like the bread around here -- my daughter loves it -- so we go through two loaves pretty quickly. The house smells so good! If you want the recipe, let me know and I'll post it. It's really easy. Do you have a favorite bread recipe? If so, please share!
