The Coffee House

There is a wood-burning stove and wood, so yeah, I am fine. Plus I have two small furry portable furnaces

The worst for me was never keeping warm, but rather the lack of plumbing. That is what wears me down. No electric, no water pump from the well.

Hi Hosers! Made it through the storm. Lost some shingles off our roof which is overdue to be replaced. Moving that up the priority list...

@limr stay safe, sounds like you guys got it worse than we did. Lots of trees down here but no fatalities that I know of.

Made the round trip up to Maine today.. driving straight into the wind the whole way up. It was a challenge to maintain a steady course. Had a blast taking photos of my friend’s daughter’s softball team. Will try to post a few of those later this weekend if I have time to look through them.

Tomorrow is the first day of softball winter clinics. I’m the organizer and need to be there for the whole afternoon. I don’t have to do anything other than coordinate our coaches and HS team volunteers, check in all the girls, field questions from parents, distribute the T-shirt’s, sell logo gear from our league store, man the first aid station and take some photos for our league website. I’m tired already! Going to bring Princess and one of her softball friends to help me out.

Morning y'all. I scraped my face. So I look a little less like a bum. In approximately 20-25 minutes off I go to work.

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. 42F presently, but the sun is shining. Bright wedges of yellow are streaming in through and under the front terrace striking the front door from the step to the doorknob. The hummingbird feeder through the blinds, outside the kitchen table window, is looking like a large crystal, a jewel of reflection as the light bounces off the glass and the dew still resting on the copper base. A redheaded Anna's has hummed in for a morning taste. Its head in shadow as it feeds but a striking cardinal red when the feathers are lifted up into the streaming light. Gary is enjoying his morning's quiet, his coffee, the Sunday paper and watching his world warm up. It's gonna be a nice day.

I got within a minute of 3 hours.
My Sister hit me with a message to get some things. Got them. Got in the truck engine running and she hit me with one more item. Got that. Hit the PO Box and one of the things was a jury summons for 3-19-08
Got home and here I am.

Wow, I can't believe you made it up there - good for you. Fearless being! I tend to avoid any risky driving if I can help it, so kudos to you for getting the photos taken.

@limr: My in-laws had a house that was built on a sloping lot, below street level, and had to rely on an electric pump to make the commodes flushable. Never an issue of course, until the power went out in bad storms. In their later, retired years, they took to just staying in nearby hotels when bad weather was on the way. We used to laugh, but now it doesn't seem so silly!

Sounds like Leo's area got the worst of it, hope you and the kitties are hanging in there and your power gets back on soon.

In Houston proper there is a 50/50 chance of rain tonight. 80% tomorrow.
It would be fine with me if they kept it down there in Houston. But that isn't how the smart money bets.

Mary Lou, Miss Maggie and Gary are back from our morning walk in the park. A nice crisp morning with a blanket of snow covering the local mountains. We’re now drinking coffee in the patio, discussing the evening menu for the Oscar’s with Mike and Max. Gary discovered a Monarch caterpillar climbing up the patio table. He rescued the caterpillar and stuck on a Milkweed.

Nitey nite y'all. Have a good night and a better tomorrow.
