Thanks to global climate change and an ice storm in the SC Lowcountry, Casa Lucy has been cold, dark and loaded with electronic deprivation for the past 23 hours. The bright side: There's nothing like the heightened gratitude I'm feeling now—with the heating system chugging away, the thermostat climbing from 46, now at 60 and rising. Thoughts of a hot dinner and not having to read by flashlight or sleep in gloves tonight! I am a winter-weather sissy, ever ready for sweet springtime and flip-flops.
To those of you "up North" on the East Coast: I wish you snow instead of ice and sustained electrical service and heat throughout.
Here's my 8-year-old Bliss Bringer in PA" helping" her dad with the driveway. She's looking mighty serious; maybe she'll encourage her parents to move down South. Oh wait! That would be where we just had the ice storm—ice now gone, but winds still howling and far too cold for me. Never mind. . . Stay safe, warm, and well dear Lefties!
