“So when you're cold
From the inside out
And don't know what to do,
Remember love and friendship,
And warmth will come to you.”

This has been a crazy year. It seems like only yesterday we were putting the air conditioners in the windows of the farmhouse, and now I'm freezing my patootie off. Can you say "brrrr" ? According to the trusty thermometer on the back porch it is 30 degrees outside. That's a bit cold, but what really puts a chill in this ol' bird's bones is that it is only 60 degrees inside. Oops, I lied. My handy dandy bedside thermometer says 56. Where did I put those long johns?
We heat the farmhouse with wood heat. It usually does a pretty good job of keeping my tootsies toasty, but unfortunately the Geek hasn't had much time to gather firewood this fall. Up to now it hasn't been too unbearable, but I think it's time to put it at the top of my "honey - do" list don't you? I hate to nag, but my fingers are getting numb!
Today's good stuff?
A double "play date" for the Munchkin and me.
She got a friendship ring and I got to enjoy some grown up conversation for a change -- what a treat!
