Prepared for the Brunt
The wind is from the northwest at 29 mph. Being sheltered in town, I am sure that those on the open highways have a difficult time seeing as well as watching for slippery road surfaces.
I was to have company today. My nephew’s wife, Jennifer, and her mom Rita, were going to come for a visit. Last night at this time I did text them that perhaps next week would be better. Many things have been canceled or put off since Thanksgiving. That was the first time I canceled an event and it seems that has happened quite often since.
First thing that needed to be done in the sewing studio was Swiffering the cement floor. Someone sure did make a mess of threads and scraps. After finishing up the quilt yesterday it was time to take some of the sewing machine apart to oil and clean down under. With a new needle in place, I poked around in the sewing studio until I found a project that would carry me through the day. Dennis popped down quite often during the day. He had a good run of Solitaire on the sewing studio laptop. Dennis has a schedule that takes up his day. It would not be my cup of tea, but it works for him. This winter the Rural Television station has been a Godsend for Dennis. There is bound to be either a rodeo or a tractor auction. I do well if I remember to turn the radio on in the studio.
As of six this evening the blizzard warning is over for our area. That is not to say that the winds got that message. I can remain a hermit through the nastiest part of weather, but many are out and about and unfortunately they may not realize how vulnerable they are.
Everyone be safe. I would rather think about you than read about you.
