Reason and I are taking advantage of this marvelous, stay-at-home afternoon. It's a Josh Groban kind of day, and I haven't heard Awake in quite some time since we forgot to put it on my iPod when we added the album to iTunes. (Probably because my iPod has very little free space. 2 gigs fills up pretty quickly!) We've also been puttering around the kitchen. Months ago, I found a Food Network recipe for pretzels with a queso poblano dip. It's been sitting in the recipe archives waiting for a day when we felt brave enough to tackle pretzels and queso in the same day. Oh, and a day when we had poblano peppers. Which, seeing as how we've never cooked with them before, required some serious foresight to add them to the shopping list. I'm waiting for the pretzel dough to rise. The poblanos have been roasted, peeled, seeded, and diced. Reason is laying on the floor with his book. The one that he's been reading for probably close to a month now, but only ever makes it through a couple pages at a time. If you know him, that's unusual. Just goes to show you what the last few weeks have been like for us.
For now, though, I'm enjoying the quiet. The stillness. The sweatshirt & extra cup of coffee that signify this is the weekend. The clean dishes and the clean laundry that demonstrate our productive domesticity. And the clock, which I'm sure has slowed down just a tad to extend this cozy afternoon.
"November is the most disagreeable month in the whole year," said Margaret,
standing at the window one dull afternoon, looking out at the frostbitten garden.
"That's the reason I was born in it," observed Jo pensively, quite unconscious of the blot on her nose.
