Cold Weather Is Here

Sunday there was not much on TV, it was too cold to work on anything outside, so we decided to go to Campbellsville for a shopping trip. We went in the Mustang and ate at Arby's as soon as we got to the town. After that we hit up Big Lots, Peddlers Mall, Dollar Tree and Wal-Mart and a few other shops before we headed on back home.
Linda has worked the first three days of this week at the school, Stacey and I have went to Burkesville and rented DVDs and mailed our Christmas Cards.
We have been keeping a fire burning in the stove and the house has been around 78 degrees until the fire dies out when we go to bed. Then the heat pump kicks on and keeps the house at 74 degrees the rest of the time. I think burning wood will save us money on the electric bill, but most of all, it feels really warm and comfortable. Wood heat feels the best of any heat, IMO. Of course, it is a lot of work, cutting, splitting, and hauling the wood to the back porch, stacking it and then carrying it inside, but I enjoy that work. I have to keep the trees picked up that fall into the fields anyway, so we might as well burn them for heat and get some benefit from the work.
Linda has been busy with Christmas decorations. Once again we have several Christmas Trees and other decorations through out the house. She has used the Mule to transport many boxes from the 'little house' to the garage, where she sorts the items and gets them ready to display.
"It's begining to look a lot like Christmas" around here.
