Woke to 6F (-14C). Coldest temps. in NC since 1994, and quite dangerous out there - school started 2 hrs. later despite no ice. Funnily the sun is shining boldly, birds are flying, squirrels are hopping - and both are at the feeders of course..........and I'm here inside freezing to the point Bob ventured to the potting shed and brought me the little portable heater to put next to my feet! I'm wearing 2 prs. of socks and leg warmers too!!!! Our HVAC is pumping madly, we pray it doesn't quit on us even though we know it's aging and should be replaced soon - a big, messy future expense. We allowed the faucets to drip through the night too - don't want frozen pipes.<br /><br />Off to make another hot drink/hand warmer!!!!<br />Hugs - MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-53504255067521962272014-01-07T05:25:13.855-08:002014-01-07T05:25:13.855-08:00Happy New Year Lorrie!

Even my son who is here from Colorado says the cold is quite different and they've had -30 there. :) So happy to see blue skies here after 2 days of rain which just makes things a mess. I can imagine the shock those ducks must have gotten when they broke through the ice. Yikes! Wishing you all the best for 2014.

I always order the DVD and it comes in early February so we avoid watching until then and watch it all in a binge in one or two evenings. <br /><br />xo TerriWindlosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17014227226507484798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-67324664224430533752014-01-06T09:50:28.207-08:002014-01-06T09:50:28.207-08:00Ah, just as it is here today; in the tweens, but n...Ah, just as it is here today; in the tweens, but not a cloud in the bright blue sky.
