Today is a beautiful day! It's a little windy, but it's not like we never get wind around here. Tonight the bottom's gonna drop out. We've been preparing for the worst as we've been told to do by our wonderful Governer(pardon the sarcasm).
Brother came out this morning to wire us up a generator so we'll have one house on the place with a heater if the power goes out from all the ice and wind they're sayin we're gonna get. I hope they're wrong, but if they aren't, we'll be semi prepared. In the past we've missed all the bad ice, but someday it'll get us. I've been planning in my head all the things I want to cook while we're homebound for a couple days. Why is it that cold nasty weather makes us want to cook? Maybe that doesn't happen to everyone. But I'm thinking an apple cobbler is on my "to do" list tomorrow!!!
I'm afraid we're not really set up in this day and time to rough it too long. We rely on electricity so much that we can't cook, bathe, watch tv, all the important stuff! I can't imagine how my Great Grandmother made it in a soddy in New Mexico during the Depression. She gave birth to 2 children there and didn't think twice about it. I can't imagine giving birth in the best hospital in the US!!! They were just made of different stuff back then.
Well, hope everyone enjoys the sunshine today and makes it through the next few without frost bite!!!
