Outside my window - is over 2 feet of beautiful snow. The trees are bowing under the weight of it all and the air is cold and biting - but it is a sight to see! Early today it was as if God laid the softest quilt of white cloth over us!
I am hearing - the hum of our generator that is keeping our furnace's fans blowing the warm air from our wood burner. The clicking of the keyboard, and the ticking of the clock.
I am wearing - flannel pj's and slipper boots
I am thankful to God for - wood, coal, gas, water, and coffee! Of course, also for my wonderful family. Every family member is pulling his or her weight during this hardship.
I am thinking about - Latin class and the fact that it had to be canceled due to this power outage and lack of parking
Our learning corner - HalfPint is learning to read. She is doing beautifully and really taking off with it. She can read Green Eggs and Ham with hardly a challenge...
Around the house - we are currently just trying to keep the house warm during this power outage for all 7 humans, 3 dogs, and nearly 30 birds. The adults of the house have to take 2-hour shifts during the night with the wood/coal burner because there is no electric "emergency backup" to kick in if the fire dies out.
One of my favorite things - besides fresh, strong, hot coffee??? Ummm - snuggling between flannel sheets and sinking my head into my pillow and having my nightly chat with Mother Mary and her Amazing, Awesome Son!
I am reading - Imitation of Christ and A Patriot's History of the United States: From Columbus's Great Discovery to the War on Terror ~ Larry Schweikart (Author), Michael Patrick Allen (Author)
My thoughts - Mr. Gore MUST be frozen somewhere and shocked at the way climate change is happening - I know God made this earth to be wonderfully self-healing and He knows just what He is doing... I am a good steward of the land where I live, but I refuse to join the new 'religion' of environmentalism.
