SNOW, yes SNOW!! It actually snowed here today for most of the day. Nothing stuck to the ground, just to our truck. What a day! I can’t believe we drove over 2000 miles to avoid winter and we are suddenly in the middle of it. It is actually warmer in Indiana today than here in Arizona. The next few nights are going to be really cold as well--20’s. That means turning the water off at night and draining the hoses. We will have to use the water tank and the pump at night till things improve. The daytime temps are supposed to be on the rise, reaching the high 60’s by the end of the week. One can only hope we survive till then.

We did manage to take a trip to the post office and pick up our mail from South Dakota. No surprises there at least. DH dropped me off at the park laundry on the way back. I really don’t mind doing the laundry and there were several others so it was a nice social hour. I learned there is going to be a community camp fire Friday night and that should be a lot of fun.

The rest of the day was spent snuggled up in the easy chair with blankets and furballs. Only venturing out to the great outdoors when the furballs needed a potty break. That requires a major clothing event for me......two sweatshirts, ear muffs, gloves, and long underwear is all a must when the temp dips below 25 degrees. My toes may never see daylight again. I so miss my flip flop days.........
