The moon is setting over the lake.
When I woke on Friday, it was 1 degree Fahrenheit, with a bit of wind.
I delayed my shower so I could have a hot cup of tea and catch the local weather. I had noted the previous day that I had about a third of a tank of heating oil, and that made me nervous. Our temperatures are set to remain relatively low, and the thought of a cold house and frozen pipes haunted me. I resolved to call at 7:30 when the office opened.
While sipping my tea, I heard a noise outside in my driveway. Heidi and I jumped up to see who was there.
Yes! The Oilman Commeth!
I always go out to say hello and thank the deliveryman, and I want you to picture this. I was wearing knee socks, boots, a long nightgown, a winter hat, a down parka, and gloves. I have to laugh at that!
He filled the tank, and all I can say is, if colder weather is on its way, bring it on!
The rest of the day was spent with the usual tidying. I know many people took down their Christmas trees, but I left mine up. There is something so pretty about the ornaments and lights. Maybe next weekend.
Have a great weekend!
