Everything is now back to normal. The Rooster had taken holidays and when the thermometer dropped down and the windchill said 50 below he took another two days. :O But now I am home alone!
And to warm up to the new year I am thinking hot colours, high energy and happy housecleaning as I line up plans and projects for the winter work schedule.
I am also adopting my namesake's philosophy. This was her Christmas Day dress of choice! What snow? I see endless white beach sand! LOL
