| Dawn on the mountains this morning. |
Wednesday 11/15. We were on the southeastern edge of today's snowstorm, so during the morning we just got fits and starts. During the afternoon three flurries moved through, each one about an hour apart and lasting about thirty minutes. Nothing measurable stuck.
We did long-term storage food inventory today. Somehow our records were way off on several items.
It was breezy with a high of 38.
Thursday 11/16. It was 32 and mostly clear this morning, and the wind was calm. I left for Down There in Miss Kitty just before 9:00 am. It was a beautiful but uneventful drive down to Larry and Elsie's, where I let the dogs out (theirs and their son's) as they had left early to drive west of the mountains to attend a memorial service for Elsie's stepmother.
It was a lovely day and I had to take my time in order not to be back too early for the dogs again. So I had lots of time to look through the books at the Dollar Store; look for zippered turtlenecks at the thrift store (found a beautiful one); wander through Hobby Lobby for Christmas craft items (they were having their 50% off all Christmas crafts and decos!). Also got some grocery shopping done.
I let the dogs out again about 2:00 pm, put a fire in their downstairs stove, got everything transferred from the Jeep to Miss Kitty, and was home by 3:00 pm, where JB had a big pot of split pea and ham soup simmering on the stove. Such a beautiful day to be out and about. It was in the high 40's in town and our high for the day was 38.
Friday 11/17. It is 30 and mostly clear this morning, with the wind gusting to 18 mph, as it did all night. I started using our fleece sheets a couple weeks ago. They are so very soft and cozy to slide into at night, but very difficult to climb out of on a cold, winter morning.
Thought for the day: Women are angels. When someone breaks our wings, we continue to fly on a broomstick. We're flexible like that.
