From outer space

You can see the Frankenstorm images show the edge of the system extending over the Upstate again....this time coming in the back door over the mountains....where it is blowing snow probably....here it is 42 windchill and dark with clouds....I don't feel like getting out and going for a walk right now....maybe it will be a little warmer by the afternoon....I did meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and squash all in the iron skillet yesterday, instead of heating it up in the microwave....makes for a better presentation.....today I will sauté sweet onion and bell pepper in olive oil and then add a box of cornbread stuffing. ....that will be the "starch" side with more squash as the veg and a brat as the meat....I've got the electric fire on in the living room, and lamps on to make it less gloomy.....the forced air heat kicked on during the night....it is a lot quieter with the replacement fan motor than it was in previous years.....you have to concentrate on the sounds to tell if it's even on, whereas it used to be that the floor vents would whistle sort of.....I should go out and cut off whatever it is that is rubbing against the wall outside the bedroom in the wind, pestering me at night....must be the wisteria...that's all we've been getting from the storm, lots of wind....
