BRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's cold! It rained quite a bit yesterday, then the temperature dropped below freezing at about sundown. It was 72 in the morning, then it was 42 about 3 hours later and it just kept going down. It didn't stop raining after it hit freezing, and the rain turned into sleet. It sleeted (is that a word?) all night and is still coming down. We have probably 2 more waves of frozen storm to hit and probably will get snow later on. The schools are closed and most businesses are too. Needless to say, we are not going anywhere! :) But I was prepared for an ice storm, so we are going to stay home and spend the day together. Otter and the dogs are curled up in front of the fireplace.

I got my birdfeeders up and filled yesterday, Frasier decided that he needed to help keep the yard clean so he hoovered any spilled seed he could find. The Magginator mostly reacted to the ice & cold by becoming like the Energizer Bunny on speed. Eventually she ran out of steam and came inside, only to park her little furry behind in front of the heater vent.

Bill mixed up some cookie dough and I have a loaf of bread in the bread machine. Gonna make chili later!
