Wind Chills....

 Such a pretty sunset. this was this week.  Today we are getting snow and cold...with wind chills. Oh I know it's nothing like Boston has.  Bostonians are shoveling their roof tops. That is scary. It's for safety.  Some roofs are caving in from the weight of the snow.  Wishing them , no more snow.
  Today Ted and I are planning a nice lunch out. This will be our valentine's celebration.  We will also do a bit of shopping. You know how you try to squeeze in everything you can while you are out. Make the trip to town count.
 I am ready for some rest and relaxation. I am a bit tired of cleaning out the fireplace and dusting so much from burning wood. I think my arms are a bit longer from carrying in wood.  Our heat bills are very low, because we do burn wood. That is a plus. Today as I went out for the paper, it is cold out and I had to sweep snow off the steps and walk.  But upon coming back into the house, it was toasty warm inside , from the fireplace heat and  the smell of coffee and the house was quiet.....just wonderful.
  Hope you are enjoying your day. That you can have a nice cappucine this afternoon for your break. Stay warm. XO

    I love those beautiful colors in the sunset! I remember having to deal with ashes and ash dust when we had wood burning in our country house. It wasn't much fun, but the warmth and lower utility bills were wonderful! Enjoy your Valentine celebration today!

    I thought the roof was going to blow off last night! I will be glad for spring and warmer temps so my heat bills are cheaper!

      Ann, Some of the highest winds I been in have been here on the farm. At night , you just pray for the best outcome. One night I hearda noise and checked...a bit of our siding was flapping, thank goodness I saw it. Brought it in the house and re -attached it the next day. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

      Cindy, I am so glad you are safe and weren't in your little car. I have been very fortunate , I have never went off the road. I think I'll post about a time I came face to face with a truck that spun. Blessings to you and your family, xoxo,Susie

    Your house sounds like quite the cozy place, Susie. We've had lowering temps today, too, and a few flurries. Nothing serious, though. xo Nellie

      Nellie, I guess cozy is a good word, it sure isn't a big home. It's so cold here and getting worse for a few days. Let's think spring ! xoxo,Susie

    Very beautiful sunset. We were given a Gift Card for Olive Garden for Christmas, and I've been saving it....we are going to use it for Valentine's Day.

    Have a fireplace and the smell of wood burning and fresh coffee...anything better?

    Susie, hope you had a fun day out! I do feel for Boston! We have had record warm temps for some time now. As much as I am loving it I know that we need more snow. Too bad they can't send a little our way! Happy Valentines my friend!
    hugs,

    It's nice coming in from the cold to our warm houses, isn't it? I can just smell the coffee brewing in your kitchen, Susie. You live in such a charming place. Your Valentine's Day lunch and shopping sounds perfect with Ted. Love to come over here and say hello. Your posts always make my day.

    love, ~Sheri
