Brrrrr is all I can say. It was minus 8 degrees this morning (1/21) when I went out to take care of the chickens. It sounds like some brutally cold air is coming in this weekend. I’m quite certain that our wood stove will be cranking.
Our six-year-old granddaughter, Harper, is coming for an overnight visit this weekend. I believe some inside activities will be in order. Probably some baking of some sort and popcorn on the stove along with some movies of her choosing.
The Northern Lights made an appearance earlier this week. I wasn’t able to see them from my backyard, but I did see some beautiful pictures posted on social media. If you have ever seen them in person it is truly an amazing experience.
There will be a potluck lunch held at the Andover Congregational Church on Saturday, January 24, at 11 am. Please bring food to share. No time to cook? Attend anyway! Drinks are provided and all are welcome. The cost is free but donations are gratefully accepted.
The church is quite the hub of our town. The Cabin Fever Reliever takes place there on certain Saturdays through April from 10-2. The next one will be on January 31.
The Andover Food Pantry uses the church as well on Tuesdays from 8:30 to 10 and serves the towns of Andover, Roxbury, Bryon, Hanover, and Upton. Christine and her hard working team do such a wonderful job with this organization.
Lastly, I would like to wish my bff of (gulp) 49 years a very Happy Birthday, I hope you have a wonderful day Velora!
Please send any news or events my way and please stay safe one and all during this record-breaking cold snap that is headed here for the weekend! diananadeau@ymail.com
