I got up this morning and went to turn the heat up and my thermostat was blank. Checked the fuse and it was good, so we’ll need a new thermostat. The upside is, this happened today, when the temperature will hit the 70s today, and not tomorrow, when it will be in the 20s.

Life Goes On

The temperature this morning is the coldest it has been to date this autumn at 33˚F, just one degree above freezing for my Aussie friends.
    The grass is covered in a white sheet of frost, but thankfully there is no wind or even a breeze to speak of. The best part is there are no clouds and the sun is beaming brightly.
