A freezing cold evening

Day 1450 - we got ready ahead of time for the very stormy weekend that awaits us. So yesterday we cooked a very hearty soup and a nice stew. It is so nice to come home from yet another long day knowing we have homey food to eat. And this is what we did. The rest of the evening we spent in our little living room under heavy blankets trying to fight the cold and delving into nostalgic pictures and writings. A quiet and cozy evening when a full blown Gail is on the other side of our walls and windows. How blessed we are to have a place to stay on freezing nights like this. And how lucky we are that we had no blackouts, since the only heater we have is electrical and in case of a power outage we have only our blankets to rely on. Few more days and the storm will subside; we weather it, literally.
