We have quite a bit of snow, and the temperature now is 8 degrees. There is a little wind and it will make you get indoors in a hurry. Reminds me of winters long ago when I was young. 'Course most anything reminds me of younger days.

It is so very cold, but we are snug and warm in our little home. Our 6 year old grandaughter is with us for a day or so. Just knowing that everyone is safe and warm is comforting.

My animals are out of the weather and well fed. Yesterday I saw a herd of 15 deer while looking out my kitchen window.Also, large red tail hawk, many crows, 1 fox and birds galore. Wild creatures seem to stir a lot when bad weather threatens.

I realize I should be concerned about those not as fortunate and have no warm homes. But,I am compassionate and caring and help all I can regularly. Today, however, I am selfish, stingy, Scrooge-like. I want this time to be mine and mine alone to enjoy.

I will get back to the cares of the world tomorrow. Jeep
