Waiting for the Polar Vortex

Not much is going on ~ I covered the water faucet outside (in preparation of the bitter freeze we will be getting) and I will move the pots off the deck (so it is easier to shovel the snow).

Do I believe the dire warnings?  I guess I have to - and as Carole reminded me:  Prior Planning Prevents Poor Performance.  Which was originally told to me by Frank Hook at Georgia Southern.  And it was on the exam.

Here is what today looks like.  This picture was taken on my phone, sent to Amy, who resent it to me via e-mail.  Sort of like the new Pony Express.

This is in the driveway looking at the French neighbors yard.  Doesn't look like the freeze is coming, does it?

And here is Melanie - who had 3 socks in her mouth.  I believe they are her security blanket.

I just served Mom her lunch - a lovely shrimp salad on spinach, crackers and a cookie.  With the obligatory glass of white wine.  It is the life.

Much love,
Leslie
