Dear Winter. I’ve had my patience tested. I’m negative. I’m giving you up for Lent.

Ode to Polar Vortex
We’ve had our fair share of Buffalo snow and wind over the years but this storm was particularly blustery and bitter! For those of you who know the area, I 90 was closed from Rochester through the PA border. Although we were sequestered in our home, we had electricity, heat, and one perfectly delightful fireplace! I had been wanting to try the dark chocolate cookie recipe from Sweetapolita so ta-da, silver lining for everything. (thank you Sweetopolita! Delish!) Here are the results.
Basically I wanted to do a study in 2x4s. Most might think Lowe’s lumber, but I mean 2 inch by 4 inch, as in cookie terms. I started with a 4″x4″ cookie and cut in half.
Then I made the earmuffs using a horseshoe and a ruffled circle cookie cutter.
This is my interpretation of snowmen during the blizzard…
Added a little retro snow (LOVE retro!)…
Here’s a through.the.window glimpse of what Buffalo looked like mid-polar vortex… Appreciating your homestead about now?
