It was cold and rainy yesterday, high about 37. I can still hear it dripping, but I don't think the temperature went down overnight. I heard that there was occasional sleet, but I didn't see any.

I took Ray to his office about 9:30 and went to Kroger to get some ingredients I needed. Then I pretty much cooked all day, with a few computer breaks. It was dark and cold, but the cooking kept me warm enough. The ground was like a swamp and I felt sorry for the chickens, but they seemed fine. It was dryer in their coop than outside. And they laid 3 eggs.

At 3:30 I picked him up. and we came home for the final cooking and cleaning up. Jane and Ted and her son Phil came to dinner and we enjoyed it. They brought a nice Greek salad, which wen really well with the Pastitsio. The food was excellent and we enjoyed talking, although Ray did start telling jokes at dessert time and didn't stop, even though he said he would.

They left about 9 and we tidied up a little and sat down to watch TV, but I didn't even make it through Wheel of Fortune.

My Dad called before supper and said that their heat pump had frozen over, so we half expected them to show up here.
