Most days, most nights we look upon an incredible vista. Now, after a major snowstorm, we’re going into negative digits tonight so have all the blinds down. Heat is up to 69 (from 68) and we didn’t use the fireplace at all downstairs tonight because that tricks the only thermostat to say it’s warm enough upstairs.
I love to see the stars at night, but with the snow these days we can’t even see ten feet away. Secluded in our little cocoon, it might be easy to shut out the world, but I don’t want to.
Between weather segments on the news this morning (with commuter link info streaming over my computer) I learned that the new fashion is “pajama chic” with flannel and plaids et al. Well, won’t my husband be styling with his Stetson and Resistol dress shirts. I’ve always called it “Utah Formal.” He even has a hat, not a ten-gallon, but more of an Indiana Jones hat to protect from summer sun. Right now he’s wearing a rabbit fur Russian hat.
We are prepared for the weather, I just dress in more layers. I’ve made my New Years’ resolution, not to make a resolution. And it’s stuck even though the ball hasn’t dropped as yet. Ok be a better person, discover new flavors and techniques in the kitchen, play with the dog more and take long walks with husband and dog. That’s it. Cheers, and a happy new year, Dee
