Bitter
(Kiki's Christmas Drawing) Some might say that it is a little chilly outside. This is actually a heatwave compared to Friday and Saturday. We had minus 13 overnight last night. I can confirm that cars with electricity and bitter cold don't mix very well. We've burned through the last of last year's wood. Four bags a day this weekend (usually three are sufficient.) Got to keep the home fire burning. Kiki made chili and curried pumpkin from the summer's vegetables and froze it away for easy good weekday meals. It was a good year. Satisfying to still be eating from the garden. Fingers cold. Brain frozen.
