It's a balmy 37 degrees and we are STILL iced in! Above is a photo of our driveway taken at 3:40pm. This stuff just refuses to melt! We have just received word that there will be no school tomorrow for the fifth day in a row...that's right! A whole week off, stuck in the house! Now groceries are running low, as I did not ever believe things would be like this for SO LONG! All we can do is laugh and make the best of it, right?! At least the power, cable and internet have stayed on and we are warm, dry and entertained.
Here is a photo I took moments ago of the ice on the yard. As you can see, it is just a thick, hard sheet. One of my friends equated walking across it to walking across a creme brulee! You break through that top layer and just fall right in!
The kids did get some time playing in it and had fun for a while.
They built an odd-looking 'snow-monster' and just dug around in it.
McGinnis wore his new 'Jo-Jo' hat that I made him! (We don't have any idea why he calls it that, but that's what he decided it is!)
Sim got creative in cleaning the ice and snow off his truck...yep, that's a garden rake! And I'm just staying inside as much as possible, trying to keep warm. I did season my cast iron cookware today! I've only had it about a year and thought it might be time! I've also done a little sewing.
Not too much to report...just an update!
