My personal cold weather strategy is a fur coat we bought Mom
for Christmas in 1970s when the middle class still could. Old, a tad tattered
now, still so warm the temp has to be below zero and the wind above 20 mph to
wear it. Otherwise, you sweat like a wrestler!
No. 2 cold
weather strategy is a quilt. You must sidle around the outside of my living
room, as the center is filled with the frame. Wednesday while I sewed, the wind
whirled the snow up sparkling the air to the tops of the trees. A perfect marvel
of a winter day: bright sun casting blue shadows on the pure white snow.
Another strategy
is visiting friends with fireplaces and wood stoves. Vince & Alyce also
have a bird feeder with a plethora of cardinals, juncos, a variety woodpeckers,
who flitted back and forth to the feeder, fluffing themselves for warmth as we drank
hot coffee and munched ole fashioned gingerbread and anise cookies.
Critical Eye says eat your heart
out Florida and Pheonix!
