This morning Mathews awoke to ice and a two-hour school delay. Tree limbs are snapping off with each gentle puff of wind that happens to pass through the yard. You can hear them falling all up and down Queens Creek.
Thankfully, I am off from work today and can use this excuse from Mother Nature to finally take down my Christmas tree and catch up on the mundane tasks of daily life that have been neglected since Son's surgery, Christmas, New Year's and then the 50th birthday celebration.
Of course, if the power goes off--as it already has in many parts of the county--I"ll just take that as a sign from Mother Nature to take a nice long nap.
Fingers crossed.
