a campfire solves everything...

Abigail and me.

The kids have been suggesting and talking about having a fire on the deck, for weeks now. Here in New York state, the weather is taking it's sweet time warming up. We'll have one dry day with a bit of sunshine, followed by rain and sometimes snow. This week, snow is flying around, mixing with the rain, with chilly dark cozy wind. But last night, it was clear, and chilly, and we finally had our fire.

The kids had s'mores, and marshmallows. We covered up with blankets and solved the world's problems.



So today is cold and dark, and life goes on. Abigail is at work, she is an accountant at a food distributor, so therefore essential. Evelyn is also at work, she works at a construction place that installs and maintains furnaces, etc., doing the paperwork, receptionist, ect. Paul is working from home, the other kids homeschooling. We have to bring our truck in to be fixed, the brakes are gone. The dryer stopped working, too. Go buy a new one? Not a chance. Paul takes things apart and orders parts. Who knows how long it will take to get a new part. I washed some clothes yesterday, thinking to hang them out, but forgot, so they're just hanging in the laundry room.

It's snowing out like crazy right now, seriously. Windy, with thunder, a bit of hail, and now snow.



Ah well...things to do. We've organized the drawers, but there are still some messy cupboards we can go through and fix up...
