I hope you're all safe and warm where ever you are....

We have just gotten back from doing errands which will ensure we are warm and have food to eat for the next few days. The kids are errand weary, but they are happy to eat, watch the rented movie "Wall-E" and Joshy is taking a nap. Oh boy is he a little defiant stinker when he is tired!
It is beginning to grow dim here, although it was beautifully clear and blue this morning. With being so clear came temperatures ranging from 7 to 11 degrees this morning at 9:30, and it is up to a whopping 23 right now.
More snow is expected tonight, but that's not as concerning as the forceful winds predicted of 40-60 MPH with gusts in the 70's. That wind chill is really going to bring the temperature LOW, and everyone is worried about losing power. In our case, if we lose power, we lose heat... thus, we got a Mr. Heater (with oxygen sensor) as a backup. If we don't use it, it will be returned to the store... but if it keeps up warm in some of the worst snow we've had for years, it will be worth it.
Here are a few pictures of where we live, the Fryelands of Monroe.

But the Rabbit is having fun! (last night)

So that's all for now, we are going to enjoy our night staying in. Have a great weekend.
