Well hello again my lovelies, I hope you are all well and happy. I have had a busy week working on various projects, but I wanted to get another Blog post done too, so the other things will have to wait for now.
The third week in January was pretty wild and wintry. First there were several days of snow, and then some deep freezes which meant I couldn't go anywhere, well, not without risking a broken hip on the icy hills near where I live! Then on Sunday night Storm Isha came in, which was a very wild one here on the coast. You know me though, and I don't mind the bad weather. I am lucky to have a big, warm house, and if my power and wifi go out, I still have the stove for heat, and plenty of books to keep me company. I got out for some walks when I could, and stocked up on a few things so that if I needed to stay put for a few days, I had plenty of supplies. These are the kind of situations that makes me think about getting a car again, but honestly I can't justify the expense, and I have been managing well without one so far!
I actually really enjoy hunkering down under a pile of blankets, and reading a good book while the weather rages on outside. My house has lots of big windows, so I never feel claustrophobic or closed in, even when I don't get out for a few days. Since I work from home, and have multiple health issues, there are times even during spells of good weather where I don't leave the house for many days at a time. In the past, I would have gotten cabin fever much sooner, but here, with my views of the open sky, the hills and the ocean, I feel so much more free, even from the comfort of the indoors. And now that I've lived in a place with views like these, I know I would never want to live in a big city, or even a small town, ever again!
