Rime of the Ancient Fernley House
For those of you on my friends list, thank you for the kind words about Kayla's visit yesterday. The amount of support I've received has been very heartening. I'm glad I have you as friends. I even had some kind words from one of my cousins, which confirms to me that I have a good family.
For those of you only following me on LJ: I did not cross-post the friends-locked entry because I stopped maintaining the friends list on LJ. I only cross-post because I long ago bought a life membership on LJ and I'm still making use of it.
Overnight, it got pretty cold here, and freezing fog rolled in. This covered everything in ice, and made footing treacherous. Both Lisa and I slipped multiple times on the sidewalk and steps, but fortunately neither of us got hurt.
I (carefully) walked to the Wigwam this morning and had breakfast. Dawn was breaking as I came home and took this picture of a rime-covered Fernley House. Incidentally, it seems like work on the building in the West Lot has been suspended after the collapse of the structure during construction.
After a few hours, the sun burned off the fog and melted the ice, and I was able to get out to the stores for a few things. I then refilled the wood box in the living room, which got down to zero overnight. The fire did not go out, and I could have gotten wood from the reserve supply on the front porch.
