Old Man Winter Calling

On Monday we got a collect call from Old Man Winter.



We didn't accept the charges, but you can bet he'll be calling again.

It wasn't just my neck of the woods that got a call from Winter. Take a look at Lucy's and Amelia's pictures.

DH and I are hoping for the weather to temporarily warm up a bit. Our furnace is out of heating oil and we're not going to replenish the oil tanks as we need to get a new furnace. So the entire house is being heated by the gas stove in the living room. The result is that the 2nd floor is comfortable (all that heat rising) while the downstairs is very chilly. The air inside of the refrigerator seems tepid in comparison.

Last night DH and I saw the Capitol Steps. If you've never heard of them or you're at all interested in politics, or you need a laugh after living through the 18 month long campaign cycle, you've got to click on the link and listen to some of their songs. How can you not love a group with songs entitled "Electile Dysfunction" or "Subprime Mortgage Holders (sung to the tune of John Denvers' "Sunshine On My Shoulders")?
