It's been a very strange December. Much warmer than normal.....several days in the 50's. Needless to say we did not have a white Christmas. On the one hand this is sort of disappointing for us hardy Wisconsinites - it's difficult to feel "holiday-ish" when it's this warm and everything outside is still green, or brown, or grey. On the other hand, it made our trips to West Bend and then down to Chicago much easier than driving on slippery roads.
Then came the 28th. In one day I think Mother Nature made up for the month. We've had high winds blowing snow, sleet and freezing rain. Roads and highways are closed down, car accidents everywhere.....warnings on TV telling people to stay at home unless absolutely necessary. We've been in the condo all day listening to the wind howl around our windows. Dave skipped playing pool at the senior center and refused to go to the grocery store. I'm glad we live on the west side of the building because I can't help but think that the heaters for the units on the east side are working overtime.
Fenway did get out early this morning before all this awfulness started....and one quick pee since then. His eyeballs are starting to turn yellow, but there is NO way he will even come close to use for his leash, never mind get in the elevator and go down to go outside. It could be a long night.
I've been busy working on a quilt top and reading a book. Now time to fix dinner....and settle in for the night. I'm hoping it's a little better tomorrow. It will be our 48th anniversary and we have dinner reservations at a very nice restaurant.
But if this continues, it's scrambled eggs by candlelight.
