Preparing for More Snow

It's happening again. Snow. This is strange; going from snow every seven years when I was a boy to snow every year. And this year twice. People down here go nuts even when a few flakes are falling. I looked out the front window this morning at the traffic on Harper Lake Road. There was not five seconds that passed without another car or truck. I reckon the Piggly Wiggly will run out of milk and bread like they usually do when a flake is spotted on a windshield. Thank goodness for Dorothy. She can whip up a loaf of bread in no time flat. And the house smells good too. We have milk frozen in the downstairs freezer, all our prescriptions have been filled, and the firewood is stacked close to the back door. We are ready.
