How is your weather today, Bev?
At 6 a.m., everything here was white and it was mostly ice coming down.
Now, at 8:15, it is raining, the white is fading.
The temperature is about 30, and is expected to warm and then drop, turning
all this into a sheet of ice.

All the schools are closed; many businesses.
Husband is still sleeping. He also sawed, split, and stacked wood like
crazy almost all day yesterday. The basement wood box is full; the front
porch is stacked with wood; the wood stoves are putting out heat.

I made sure our water system was full and we had milk, sweets, fruit to eat.
The power hasn't blinked but there is good potential for power outage.

Right now, the animals need to be fed, but the chickens who roost in the
pecan tree in front of the house are just now getting out of bed, so no one
is mobbing the front porch complaining about lousy service.

I hope the power stays up so I can catch up on email today!
Stay warm!
