At last

We have a winter...of sorts. It's been hovering around freezing the past couple of days (this is after temps in the mid-80s and needing the air-conditioner on earlier last week). I found out the hard way that our front steps will freeze under the right conditions. I had what I like to think of as a "Scooby-doo" fall down them yesterday morning: took one step and had both feet shoot out underneath me. Luckily not much was hurt outside of my pride. Also luckily (for my neighbors) my bathrobe stayed tied shut. Us former Girl Scouts know how to tie knots that stay tied. Goes to show you never know when knowledge is going to come in handy.
