What a Wonderful Day!!!
This is just wonderful!! Seriously!! They had been predicting for a
day or two some winter weather so I told the kitties yesterday to purr for bad weather so Meowmie and Daddy could stay home with them and build a big fire in the fireplace. It worked!! When we went to bed last night, the weather guessers were predicting a wintry mix of precipitation to start around mid-day today. So we thought we would have to get up and go in to work and then try and leave when it got bad. Not such a great thing, since we now live off of 2-lane country roads. However, joy and bliss! When we went to leave this morning, it had already started!! No sense trying to get in to work!! We went back inside, I fixed a big breakfast and Eric started a roaring fire. After eating, we bundled up under blankets and kitties and read our books. I'm in my study now, listening to the ice pellets hit the window and looking at a beautiful junco perched in the crape myrtle tree outside my window. I've seen quite a variety of birds at my feeders today, 2 species of woodpeckers and a Carolina wren as well as the usual visitors (titmice, chickadees, cardinals and this time of year, finches and juncos). The kitties are loving having the fire and laps available at all times!! It's a veritable purr-fest!!! It's also very cold for us....It was 29F this morning when I first looked and, at last check, it was 19F (-1C to -7C for you folks on a reasonable system...) So we anticipate having several furry "bed tumors" appearing when we go to bed tonight!! Well, speaking of bed, I think it's time for a nap and then, perhaps, an apple pie to bake? Stay warm....

It worked!! Bah humbug! It snowed all day yesterday, but no one got to stay home. It's a very slippery snow; my car has AWD and I am still sliding around. I never remember having this much trouble with mere snow. Monday, we had winds with gusting up to 90+ MPH. It was trash and recycling day, so there was trash all over the neighborhood and glass broken everywhere. And today, the high is 6F. I think that's -14C. Brrr. Jealously yours, Monique.

Eric, Kim and the Chigger Ranch Crew They are predicting some sort of winter "storm" here tonight. I'll believe it when I see it. However, we had a very mild winter for the last few years so maybe this will be the one. Who posted the link to www.lehmans.com ? Have some oil lamps on hand in case the electric goes out, and be thankful you have a fireplace (I do! and lots of wood, too!) A warm cat helps, as well Jill |

My house is heated, my office is heated, and even my car starts up and warms up pretty quickly. When I think about it, that makes me pretty lucky. I hope that all of the people without warm homes in the area were able to find shelter ... but I doubt it =/ Last year a man was run over because he was sleeping on top of a vent in the street to keep warm.
