Burrr No Morning walk today

 

A gracious good day to you.  It is SIX degrees outside with wind gusts of sixty miles an hour.  The wood burning stove is working very well and we are warm and cozy inside.  Milo doesn't seem to care about the outdoor tempature.  When I opened the door, he did his usually romp, looking for someone to play with.  He stayed outside for half an hour before he wanted to come in and eat breakfast.

Yesterday afternoon we dug out all of the Christmas decorations.  It was a great day for any task that can be complete indoors.  We put on the Christmas music and heated up the hot chocolate.  My wife, Janice and I had single adult lives before we were married.  We each brought our own Christmas decorations into the marriage.  The decorations have merged nicely but Janice likes to decorate the tree.  So do I.  So while sharing a bottle of wine, we decorate two trees, one upstairs and one downstairs.  It works out well.  I have the lights on both trees on a timer.  Usually one of the boys turns the lights on for the first time.  The boys are getting older and this year, the job of lighting the tree was mine.  The house is very festive.  Somehow, a couple of presents have magically appeared under the upstairs tree.

Stay warm, smile and, as we say in the fire department, BE SAFE!
