5°f this morning, -15°C. Clouds were breaking up in a rosy sunrise when I got up, but the overcast returned by midmorning.
Coffee by the fire while Larry was in town. I felt spoiled.
Weather continues to dominate our lives, but in a manageable way. I made biscuits for breakfasts,, and then Larry went to town after cat food, chicken feed, and oranges (for me). I stayed home and piddled around with this and that---dusting, rearranging books and listing a few on ebay, packing up an eBay sale, sweeping floors, all the little things that keep a home ticking along.
When he got home, Larry was in and out so much I swear the house temperature dropped 5 degrees! Honestly, we do go in and out a lot every day. The doors are constantly opening, so there is no concern about ventilation around here. The pets need in or out, I need things from the cellar or the freezer, Larry brings in wood for the fireplace or needs a tool that I have in my toolbag...on and on it goes. I counted this morning and the front door was open 12 times before 9 am---with the temperatureat 5°! Fresh air, much?
It is snowing again as I write, about a half inch already and expected to continue all night. But what's a few more inches? We are warm, sheltered, and well supplied. When I see what is happening in North Carolina, Los Angeles, and Gaza, I wish I could share this bounty somehow with all of them.
