Boy! It's cold outside!

It's 15ºF at 9:15 a.m. and not expected to get much warmer today. We heat the main house with wood. Lots of wood! We have a wood furnace in the cellar. There are also 2 wood stoves upstairs that we light of it gets really cold. The guest house is heated with oil. I'm waiting for an oil delivery this morning. It's supposed to be $2.34 per gallon. If the last people didn't leave the windows open, maybe we wouldn't need to buy any oil. Why would people leave the windows open when it was 20 degrees F out anyway?
I think I better go throw another log on the fire. I'm cold.

Skating anyone?

I heard the ice is thick enough to skate. If only it wasn't so darn cold........yeah, I know, then the ice wouldn't be thick enough. But geezum crow yesterday it didn't get above 10ºF! And we're going to go outside and play?! I guess we'll have to find some wood for a fire. And you know what that means.......Marshmallows!!
