We seem to have come through the worst of it--I'm writing this Monday morning. Power is still on, but folks are being asked not to travel due to uncleared roads and the possibility of black ice.
That's fine with me; I'm not going anywhere. A good day to mess with watercolor.
This thingy pictured below is a buckwheat?) filled heating pad my friend Sue made for me years ago to help with my occasional back pain. You stick it in the microwave (high tech) for about four minutes and it holds the heat for quite a long time. Great for an aching back.
It also serves as a low tech warmer for icy sheets. I pop it between the sheets while I shower and when I get in bed, it's deliciously warm. Then I shove it down to the foot of the bed where it warms my toes. Small pleasures!
