At home in the snow

 

The last time we stayed here it snowed.

This morning there was no alarms going off. I woke up on my own and with a headache deluxe! The bedroom was hot and I knew right then why I had a headache. Sherri was already up so I climbed out to go down and fix some coffee. Got to the kitchen and saw that it was 6:30 am. Fixed a pot of coffee and then headed to take my shower.

Sherri was curled up in her recliner when I came back down to the living room. She was bundled up in her blanket and trying to get warm. The bedroom was hot this morning but the living room was quite cool. I turned the furnace up so that we could knock the chill off. I was surprised that the propane had not run out while we were on the road. I had filled the bottles before we left thinking that if I left the heat on 50 that it would suck them dry by the time we returned. Well as things would have it one bottle was half empty and the other remained full.This was a good sign because we will be leaving again and I wont have to worry about the house getting cold.

I ventured to the window to peer out and found that it had snowed overnight and we had about 3 inches on the ground. It was still snowing and did not appear that it was going to let up anytime soon.

With the snow and the temps below freezing our water faucet outside is frozen. We have no water and our fresh water tank is about empty. We will have to be very conservative until tomorrow when the temps will rise to 5o degrees.

Not much to eat in the fridge either. This means we have to get out and brave the frigid temps so we can resupply our pantry. I think lots of chili would be nice. Besides that I have to have some snacks for Supper Sunday. Trying to come up with a list of other items to buy but I can't get past the chili. Everything else seems blah when I think of a hot steaming bowl of chili with cheese on top and onions bell peppers....OOOO.

Well as things would have it we never made the trip to the store. We decided we had enough to eat today and that when it got warmer tomorrow we would venture out and get some groceries.

We did have a good day and it was nice not having to get out in the cold. We just stayed in our jams all day and played scrabble. Not a bad way to spend the day...
