Snow tired...

altivoI'm snow tired, I haven't slept a wink.
I'm sno-oh-oh-ow tired, my mind is on the blink.
I wonder should I get up and fix myself a drink...
Must still be that virus. For a Monday, today wasn't all that bad, but it felt draggy and I'm really worn down. Came home, helped take care of horses and sheep, made dinner, and watched a 30 minute animated film (Wallace & Gromit: A Matter of Loaf and Death) which I didn't think I'd seen but Gary was quoting lines so apparently we did see it before some time. Funny how he's always saying he can't remember stuff, yet he rattles off dialog from films or books after only one time through.
I still owe y'all the photo of the plush paint pony he got me on Valentine's. Haven't forgotten, just haven't gotten around to it either.
Mmm, pie. We made a pie on Sunday. There's a tale thereto. Gary and the Kishwaukee Ramblers were performing at the farmers' market in Woodstock last fall, and someone put a squash and a recipe sheet in their tip basket. It looked like an acorn squash, but had yellow skin, and the recipe called it a "sweet potato acorn squash." I'm guessing it was a hybrid between delicata (sometimes called sweet potato squash) and a regular green acorn. Anyway, the recipe was for what I'd call sweet potato pie, but using the squash instead. We stuck it in the fridge and it sat there all winter. Finally got around to it, and the squash was just beginning to show a little aging as dark freckles on the skin. Pie is flavored with dark spiced rum, too much sugar which I cut in half, eggs, and pumpkin pie spices. Served with whipped cream, it's quite good, but I'm glad I cut back the sugar as it's more than sweet enough anyway. Delicata squashes are very sweet of themselves.
Gonna try to get more sleep tonight. Bai.
