Icy Days


Days of school cancellations or delayed starts. Our driveway is passable with 4WD--the tricky part is getting down to the icy walkway to the car.


But we have hay and fuel oil; the water is still running, and the power is still on. 


Seeing the scenes of the fires in California and being aware of the ongoing misery of so many recovering from Helene, I am reminded daily of our good fortune, as well as the fragility of our existence.

Living in hilly areas must make it tricky.

I hope you continue to stay safe and warm as the polar vortex freezes everything all the way to Florida next week. Our generator is scheduled to be fixed next Tuesday, and I'm desperately hoping nothing will happen to delay it.

Feeling so grateful for electricity continuing as I awake and fix coffee and yesterday's muffin heated with butter spread on it!
