Love back to you, my sister in Christ. Im sure you know how to stay safe, and warm even when the power goes out.
I take terra cotta flowerpots and their drain dishes to make heaters with candles. They do get hot so put them someplace safe.
If you put a candle on the drain dish, light it, and then invert the pot so the drain hole is on top, you made a heater.
They kick out quite a bit of heat when its cold and the power is out. I put one on my stove, and a few where Ive made "camp".
Remember a little flame can still cause a fire so be attentive. I stack steppingstones out of my yard to put them on.
Some heat is better than no heat when the power goes. Keeping you in my prayers.

HOW SWEET you are to me my beautiful sister. THANK you for this heart-felt post.

Ok... so this is I guess STEP 1 of this bad weather system we are about to get. I included the entire warning... which is quite boring but none the less... IF this ICE storm does form on the trees and hydro polls... this is when trouble can happen. Tree branches crack and topple over and damage people's properties.... power lines are at risk of being damaged... and it's GENERALLY just NOT a fun weather system. This is the first Ice storm warning I have experienced in over ten years.... Just to give you an indication of how rare it is... but sometimes ... WINTER just gets an ATTITUDE and wants to fight with SPRING. HAHAHAHA... to which I say.... BYE BYE... FRENCH FRY.


Anyways..... I am warm... I am safe... and I AM BLESSED.

Mr. Moose....
You will notice a new portrait behind your chair...effective immediately. Frannie picked it out.

All part of the SPRING cleaning that is going on. The portrait of Uncle Hank is resting in the closet. Frannie made sure to give Uncle Hank a proper send off... by packing him a lunch... ( which was later removed SECRETLY ). We don't need meeses coming in to the CABIN.







This was left on the kitchen counter with a note..... To Mr. Moose.... LUV your secret admirer = you know WHO?
