Winter in the South

My energy bill came today, the coldest month can cost me twice as much as the warmest. We had light snow flurries this afternoon and I figured that I ought to have split the rounds by now. There is snow on the ground now but the weather should warm up early next week, maybe then I will feel like going out there with the maul, then I can light the fire when it cools down again.

Tomorrow, the temperature is projected to get up to freezing, fortunately it is not often windy here. My handyman asked if he can come over tomorrow to work more on the outside drainage, I guess he doesn't mind the cold when he's working. Being mostly sedentary myself, too much of late, today I experimented with wearing two pairs of my thin socks: it worked fine although my feet still feel cold, even nestled inside my woolly slippers. At least I feel pleasantly warm once settled into bed.
