Stranded

We got another 3 or 4 inches of snow last night, bringing our total to about 9. We forgot to put orange flags out along the driveway, so now we can't exactly find the edges of our drive. A neighbor offered to plow it, but it's gravel – so that doesn't work so well.

Tonight's low is expected to be -8 and tomorrow, -12. Rotary is cancelled for tomorrow and so we have decided to just stay in and hibernate. Plenty of pork in the freezer; we won't starve. Plenty of firewood stacked on the back porch; we won't freeze. Plenty of books to read; we won't get bored.

We are stranded, but happily so.

Maybe when it warms up on Friday, I can take the red ribbons off my valentine tree.
