Make that “not” mine.

More snow coming. Also 50mph wind again.

According to the weather RADAR here, you’re about to be dumped on. I’ll send you some hot, rum-laced cocoa by DARKSFAX, if you wish. Of course, I can’t guarantee what it will be when it gets to you...

Ugh. 50 here; we might get rain. Juan Aguilar will be here in a minute to look at the light fixture on the stairs. Ash *loves* him!

Juan and Bill are going to Lowe’s to look for a replacement fixture. Anything they agree on has to be better than what we have!

It’s 41, here, with a high forecast of 52. Tom asked in his note how cold it got here. Tell him it’s not uncommon to be in the 20’s in the winter, with wind straight out of the north for a nasty wind chill.

The Village of Mt. Charleston is 14 this morning.

I don’t recall the light fixture, but I’m sure it could be improved.

About a year ago, I got a coffee grinder on freecycle, and some beans from Trader Joe’s, and decided to make coffee this morning. I don’t do it every day, but today just seems like the day. Right now, I’m waiting for the sun to come up.

Good combination, that.

It’s kind of a candle-sconce thing, with a glass shade, and it sticks out into the stairwell. It’s also eye-level with the ledge upstairs, so it gets clobbered by the athletic festivities in the upstairs hall.

One that doesn’t tempt anyone to throw cars into it.

Ah. OK. I dimly recall it, now. The architect must have been a bachelor.

....nope.
Everyone is freaking out over the snow. Boring.

Heh, you should have seen San Antonio when it snowed.

The new light fixture is in. I like it much better. Right against the wall, the bulb is covered, aluminum finish.

Ash was sad that Juan couldn’t spend the day with her.

I’ve seen snow in places I didn’t think even got cold! Somehow, it always confuses the locals.

I’m glad the fixture is in and that it isn’t tempting for future basketball players.

Poor Ash.

Who knows what evils lurk in the heartt of that tree ripening pod.
For all we know it may want to be eaten as part of some nefarious plan, for purposes unknown.

Those cars weren’t thrown, they spontaneously appeared there accidentally on purpose.

Many strange things occur in this house without the conscious volition of any of the residents. Except maybe the catz ...

Plugging along on the cleaning. If you don’t have everything dusted, including the ceiling fan blades, the Advent Kitteh won’t bring you wine and pretzels.
