they say the blizzard is coming.
are we ready?
thankfully we had a small dose last sunday. now I am sure we are ready for the big one, as it were. we just have to remember to detach the automatic garage door. as it turns out, if you don't have power you just might find yourself stranded* in your own home. it was like being snowed in by six inches of snow. it made for a fun and adventurous day, to say the least. we felt like pioneers. I know we have our headlamps at the ready. we have candles. we always have the jeboil. we have a hatchet, some wood, and some hot apple cider. we are ready for you, blizzard. just please, don't interfere with the rest of our holiday plans!
*it turns out that in 1940 when our garage was built they hadn't invented access doors yet. or was it that they hadn't invented automatic garage doors?? no matter, we were truly trapped at our own house for nine hours, that's all I'm sayin'.
