So.

Saturday pre-storm prep = long walks and firewood replenishing.

Firewood on deck and in a bag outside the door AND inside by the woodstove.

You can see the bare ground today…

And the icy puddly areas – yuck and thank goodness for snow cleats on my boots and double poles when walking. My recently purchased headlamp is very much appreciated on our dark o’clock walks!

I am very much hoping for a good snowfall to cover up the ice!

Lovely Emmett is also! He has 4-leg drive, but still …

Inside (photo is via my laptop so not stellar … ) Oscar is a snuggle kitten.

Let it snow …. we are ready!!!
