Wow, what a month. I don't think I have been out of the house for more than 3 times this entire month. Where we live it is known as snow country, however, this month has exceeded anything we could have expected. As a result I have spent almost all of my time in my favorite housecoat. It is pink and fleecy and fluffy and warm. So except for showers and laundry it has been my apparel of choice all month.
We have one real concern. We heat by propane and the tank is getting low. There is no way in hell that a propane truck could get through our quarter mile snow drifted driveway. We have backup electric heat in the upstairs bedrooms and Dennis, my son in law, has purchased small electric plug in heaters for the downstairs. We also cook with propane so running out of propane could be a real problem.
As for me the month has passed in a kind of haze. There is plenty of reading material, Thank God, and I spend a lot of time reading and sleeping. I think this is probably how our ancestors, in the cave man days made it through winters. In an almost dormant state our metabolism is lowered so we don't need as much food and sleeping through this weather isn't really a bad idea. I didn't want the month of January to pass without a post. Now I have done that it is back to bed with a book. Talk to you again next month.

Glad to hear from you! We've been moaning about the constant wet weather this January, goodness only knows how we'd cope with the kind of things you have to put up with. Mind you, there's a little bit of me rather envious of the opportunity to hibernate with a pile of books...
