CSue this house had the heat pump and they people we bought it from said it never worked right so they put in this really good wood burner that heats the whole house! we had to replace it a few yrs back but it really buts the heat out, for the last 2 yrs we did not burn wood cause no way could Dan get the wood or me alone. so we used the unvented gas heaters and infered heaters. cost a lot more as the wood is free.. but it is all I can do.
tomorrow they are coming for Dan;s car... that is going to be a rough thing seeing it leave the driveway.... but it has to go.
it is 24 and snow is coming late tomorrow too.

We've got our 4th Nor'easter on its way here tomorrow. Winter Storm Warning and a High Wind Advisory in effect tomorrow.
Our flight from Israel to Boston was cancelled because of the last Nor'easter dumped almost 2 ft. of snow in the Boston area. Had to spend two more days in sunny Israel. Oh boo-hoo! El Al really stepped up to help us out even though they weren't obligated to.
Good to be home. I need a vacation from my vacation!

I could see as much as 14 inches of snow here by tomorrow afternoon. It's warmed up a little and I can hear the gutters dripping. But I also noticed the breeze starting up again. Wind and wet heavy snow... not so good.
I'm just taking a "snow day" today.

That picture at the top of this page is sheer torture. I'm living in a total black and white world... almost a foot of snow and bare trees. Even the pines are holding onto clumps of wet snow.
I settled into "rip van winkle mode"... watched movies (which don't count toward my bandwidth), a new tv series on Netflix called Godless - which kinda turned out to be about the opposite; it was very good, and snuggled with cats and the woodstove. Today, I'm "going native" and will start the process of redistributing snow where I'd rather have it... instead of where it is. The little I swept off the porch, promptly froze into slick ice because it didn't dry up fast enough... so I left the snow as the safer choice for all my steps.

I'm so sorry some of you are still dealing with such wintery weather. SAR, thinking of you as you deal with all those problems. May they soon all become easier for you! Rainy here and still fighting the sinus infection. Every time my sinuses start getting clear again, my neighbor fumes come through to make them swell again. Praying that I will soon find a new place to live or some solution to this constant assault on my health. Made a big pot of home made soup today and added some chopped up organic cabbage. Really yummy. Sending good thought to all!

Just hanging in. The sunshine today was beautiful, but the air is still cold. By this time last year I had my glass top table on the patio. Too chilly to sit outside yet. But there are crocus and daffodils and other greens popping out of the ground. Won't be long. :D
DD and her son moved from our house to their own home a couple of weeks ago. Adapting. LOL. They really aren't very far away from us.
Sending good thoughts to everyone. Welcome home, BoB. Glad you had a wonderful trip and arrived home safe and sound. ;)

Wed, I had to put Micheal to sleep, and Dan's car drove away for the last time. Thursday the cleaning lady came and brought her husband and we got everything in the kitchen cleaned from on the top levels all the way around.. now I am doing cabnabets and emptying, donating or pitching food and other items. I just ask myself if you moved do you want to mess with this.. and out it goes. I have filled my front room with donations 2 times a week, and filled my trach and re-cycle stuff each week to over flowing and honestly one would ask,, from where??? I am just now getting here tonight and I woke with a head ache, more sinues I think with this cold weather. worked until I could not walk any more. I fell going to the barn today, just absolutely fell on my butt, slipped on the sheets of ice. I will be achey tomorrow
tomorrow have a friend and her adult daughter coming by for a quick visit since they will be in the area. so that means I have to keep working just to have a place to sit.
soo I am around just too tired to be much of a cyber host for a few days. (((hugs))))

Darn, sorry I missed your breakfast! Eating fish, cabbage, and asparagus for lunch today will have a little bit of blueberry crisp for desert. , , .....probably all week. Trees and forsythias are blooming so in a couple of weeks it will be all green here. SAR I can certainly understand downsizing in case you need or decide to move. I've done it each time I've moved and continue to try to weed things out, figuring that either if I move or if something happens to me, the boys won't have so much to deal with. I just worry that you are going to overdo. Is that cleaning lady going to keep helping you? Sending to all.

PL she will keep helping as long as I can pay her. but I just want the heavy cleaning done and as we clean I pitch, box up or donate. I know what ever is wrong with the desk top is something stupid but I can not figure it out. and I can put in any commands cause it will not let me add my password that is needed to do anything. so I have to just chill it is 9 pm I had a piece of ham and a bit of patatoe salad my head is splitting as I forgot all about drinking my coffee today. I am really depressed today and all the and flooding is not helping me at all.
