Miriam is reading a new book to Flora.

It is still cold, but we did reach 2018! We have had a frostbite weather warning, which was new to us! We were not supposed to go out for more than 30 minutes today in order to avoid frostbite. And then we got the news that our natural gas company had a supply problem and we should turn our heat down by five degrees! Apparently, some natural gas supply fields in PA were having a problem. I hope they will fix this soon because it is almost impossible to turn down the heat even one degree. And of course, our hot water pipes are still frozen.

Happy New Year to you all. A frost bite warning does not sound good; neither does turning down the heating! Hot water bottles and hot drinks I guess are the way to go :-) xx
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! No frostbite warning today, but right now it is -13 degrees. On the weekend we will get -23! They fixed the gas pipe supply problems and we are back to normal indoor temperatures. We are drinking a lot of tea, hot chocolate, and coffee! Happy New Year to you too. I am working on all the Christmas letters, presents, and cards right now. There are piles of envelopes all over the place.
