Brrr! It's cold!

This morning, I woke up to a frozen world! Even though we turn down the thermostat at night, the furnace blew bravely most of the night to seemingly no effect. Then I read my sister-in-law's post about snow, snow, and more snow and got almost physically ill. Not really, but a teensy bit jealous anyway. If you have to be cold, make it worth being cold! Not icy wind, not icy snow, but soft stuff you can play in! (We don't get much of the stuff---can you tell?)

I thought I saw someone with snowmobiles turn out on the road ahead of me the other day and wondered at their insanity for buying such equipment here in the land of cold but little snow. Then I recognized the implements. Water toys! Now that makes far more economical sense. (Not in terms of cheap but in terms of amount of use.) Lots of lakes here although I'm still not sure why the owner had them out in January. Hmmmm.

I'm off to fix breakfast and cram in some History before the boys go to taekwondo! Have a great day!
