I think the wether is changing
I stuck my nose out the front door and it is cold! And the wind is picking up. Maybe the forecast for tomorrow is right, whatever it is.
I used to look forward to winter storms. I would make sure the wood stack was full, I would have 4 or 5 gallons of water filled. I would put water in the bathtub. I am convinced I could have held out two or three days.
But now? Not so much.
We have a gas fireplace. If the power goes out, we will be cold. No wood to burn, no water saved, not any preparation done at all.
We should at least have a gallon or two to flush with!
City folk don't understand. We have a well. The well runs on electricity. No electricity, no water. No water, no flush. The old motto kicks in: If it's brown, flush er down. If it's yellow, let it mellow.
I guess it's never too late. I could fill up some buckets and a gallon jug or two, just in case.
We've not actually encountered a real winter storm in the new house. I imagine it will stay warm for a bit, and sweatshirts will be the norm.
But I will miss the comfort a wood burning fireplace brings.
And if the power goes, I will miss it's warmth!
Have a safe day out there tomorrow...or rather, today. Don't do anything stupid behind the wheel.
Have a great Monday.
