Yesterday, if you stayed indoors, snug as a bug, you couldn't really tell how cold the outside air was. For the sun shone, from sun up till sun down. Not a cloud impacted the blue sky. But truthfully it was -4F, nose hair freezing cold, outside as I walked my little one into school. With a scarf wrapped around her head, she resembled the little boy in the movie A Christmas Story. She was not pleased with her head gear -- but her ears were warm, and mommy was happy about that.For the past three weeks, there has been a batch of homemade soup at the ready; hot steaming bowls of broth and vegetables. "Need warming, have some soup," is my dinner mantra. And that just might stay my mantra till after the sugaring season. Soup and hot tea... staples of the winter.
It warmed to a mighty 10F by afternoon. One more day of this arctic blast and then it will be warmer winter 20's as usual, and more snow.
But what of the people who can't escape this cold, day in and day out, all winter?

A clean shirt, a warm meal....a roof over your head. Not everyone takes these for granted.
Yes, we are very lucky and blessed.
