Snow makes time stand still

It just kept snowing today.....We got about 6 inches, which isn't bad for us, but the wind just kept whipping it around all day. This is a picture out our front door earlier :

I felt like baking today... I made Oatmeal cookies with mini m&m's in them:

I love this recipe. It's from The Pioneer Woman Cooks - Ree Drummond.

I heart this site! Every recipe I've made from there has been fantastic!For some reason I was thinking about Pineapple Upside-Down Cake. I'm not a fan of the red-dye #2 cherries. I also made a loaf of Banana Bread because I had two lonely old bananas and knew if I didn't use them today when the oven was on, I would end up throwing them out. I made Bean Soup yesterday and I think banana bread would go great with the leftovers.

I did make some headway on my Aran sweater today. I don't have much left, but it's been over a year, and I want to finish it. I usually knit the arms last, but did them first, and had the back finished, and then ran out of yarn. It took me a while to find yarn to match. the different dye lots in the same brand/color made a huge difference.... too yellow toned or too brown .... I had to go all over looking . When I finally found a suitable match, I was on to other projects, and just let it sit for over a year.

Off now to do some laundry. I had nothing better to do today!
