Snow

I haven’t gone outside yet, but the house feels warmer, and I’m wondering if the show is helping to insulate; could be, if it’s as packed on the siding as it is on the window screens.

We have a lot of snow, hard to tell exactly how deep because of all the drifting. I’d guess a good 8-10 inches; weather underground says 12-18.

Two youngish gentlemen with a snowblower came by this morning and cleared off the driveway, the truck, the front stairs, and a walkway, for what seems a very reasonable amount ($40). It’s cold and nasty outside, and only the next door neighbors seem to be moving about.

I painted the hall closet door, the kitchen window and some trim. Need to get latex primer before I can do the pull-down stairway and the lanai door frame. Want to paint the window frames in my room next, maybe after shoveling the deck.

Trying to decide how far to take the kitchen cabinets: maybe some new handles and a good cleaning. I’m not keen on the idea of refinishing them. I would like to paint the still-unfinished-after-many-years bureau and end table in my room.

Fluffles has taken to lying down on my bed, probably because I put the hassock in the room for him to use as a staging point. He is perfectly happy to be ignored.
