This cold weather makes me melancholy as I sit and ponder yesteryears. It makes me remember the days of cold winter that I spent with my grandmother and grandaddy in Montgomery County.
You hear people talk about living in the country, well this was LIVING in the country. The property sat right on the Montgomery County line and the Attala County line. The old barn, housing the old Guernsey milk cow, sat straddling the two county lines.

What a week!
You may be still waiting for electricity or water; I hope both are restored soon and you can begin to get things back to normal.
We had water the entire time of the ice storm, but lost electricity. Thank goodness for our fireplace and the wood that Gary and Andrew had piled up. Thank goodness for help getting it split.
Gary had a gas ring and big pot he used for boiling hot water in his chicken processing. The propane ring turned into a cooker for us. Drew came up with some good meals on it although it was hard to regulate on a low temperature.
