It’s beginning to snow, just a little bit, and the wind is blowing like fury.  It’s 21 degrees with a wind chill of 3 degrees and wind gusts of 38 mph.  It’s not the best of days, but at least there isn’t a lot of precipitation…yet.  Our yard is still covered with ice crusted snow.

Grandson’s Drew and Tyler are home, that is, in Ellsworth.  They came to my house this morning for a special serving of Ally’s biscuits and sausage gravy and hash browns.  It was great having them here again.  They always show for their favorite food.

Drew, the best fire builder in the family, gave the living room fireplace a reason for being.  That took the chill off the room very quickly.

The family is converging later this afternoon for veggie soup before they head for church.  I’ll keep the home fires burning. Tyler mentioned something about kicking open my single malt for a little toast tonight.  We can celebrate his promotion he learned about only today.  In fact, we have lots of reasons to celebrate.

I hope you are having a wonderful time during these special days…
