Valentine's Village

I left these paper houses up after Christmas, and they’re now surrounded by the kids’ Valentines. The high school sent postcard “Valley-tines.”

Alas the water is still off, although we had periods of being able to trip the well pump on. With our inches of sleet, the plumber wasn’t doing rounds. Hopefully tomorrow. Fortunately we have a few spare gallon jugs.

W. and I started walking the hill this afternoon, all gray with a cold smirr. :-). Partway up we realized it wasn’t smart to continue, as the road was pretty glazed over, so came back and decided to drive into town...but the car battery was dead and didn't want to be jumped. Tomorrow is another day...
