I am just about finished for the day. It is currently 13°F outside and with the windchill it feels like -5.

This blog is one of the last things on my to do list before heading off to bed. It was my day off and so that meant work around the house. I got a boatload of reading done, and I added extra straw to the chicken pen. Melanie came over tonight and helped me plastic, the stained glass window and the book nook window.

The Stairwell already feels warmer. We also put plastic on the tall window in the kitchen.

As I sit here with all the storm curtains drawn, I can hear the wind raging outside as it has been all day and for the last two days. It feels wrong, somehow, unnatural.I can’t quite say why, but it sets my teeth on edge.Maybe, this wind is one of our region’s climate change effects. I don’t know. But this weather feels different down in my soul.
