Today, we woke up to a light, gray drizzle and a chilled house. I was snuggled up close to Tanner (he is my electric blanket) and discovered that I had three blankets on top of me. I guess Tanner got up in the middle of the night and got a couple of blankets. We usually sleep with just a sheet because it is so muggy and hot that you don't really need anything else. I shivered my way out of bed and to the heater and actually turned on the heaters. They gave out their first belching, smokey scent and the smoke detectors started to beep, but after a few minutes the smell dissipated, and we are sitting in a newly warmed house.
Jonathan came out of his room wearing socks, jeans, long sleeved shirt over a long sleeved t-shirt. We're all wearing sweats except for Reagan who has a fever and is contentedly sitting in my rocking chair covered with her blanky.
This kind of weather makes me reminiscent of my childhood, so I opened the jar of gauva jelly today, smeared butter and jelly on a cracker and took a little trip through Portland snow and hot chocolate in front of the fireplace. And then, my little bubble popped because I looked at the temperature on-line. It's currently 71 outside...
