12/6: the humming overhead

It's our new HVAC system, which is being called into duty this evening for its biggest heating challenge yet. As we're facing a low in the low 20s tonight, I'm grateful that we were able to replace our old system with an updated one earlier this autumn. And I'm enjoying the fact that my home office feels very cozy. Our cat Wilkie seems to agree about the coziness, because he's curled up on my table as I type.

And here's a testament to our warm house: the miniature orange tree is blooming! Chris called me over to it so that I could smell one of its blossoms. A wonderful sweetness, but especially amazing on a dark December night.

I'm always cold. I have a space heater in my office, sit with afghans like a very ancient soul. When I crank up the furnace Steve gives up and gets out his summer shorts!

I'm the same way (like you, not like Steve). Today I had the space heater going in my office at school, and tonight there are 4 blankets on the bed.
