It is not the Snow but the Ice that is the problem this Morning

We didn’t get hit with much yesterday. The grass and places with snow is where it stuck. The problem this morning is that everything that was wet last night is frozen this morning which means there is a lot of invisible ice out there to slip on or skid on. The only concern I have is that Peter and Ariel are going to see “a Little Night Music” in the city today. They are taking the train in but they do have to get to the train station and be able to walk around the city.

Tomorrow if the weather doesn’t mess things up, Peter and I have tickets for “The Addams Family” which we have had for a while. We wanted to see it while Nathan Lane and Bebe Neuwirth were still in it. Also I have had more than one person ask me to look at the puppetry and tell them how some of the tricks were done. Basil Twist did the puppetry and gags for the show and he is a very clever person.

So this afternoon Caroline and I will find ways to amuse us around the house since going out of the house is a rather slippery proposition right now. Probably finish up the dress for her doll today and maybe one other pattern.

The only reason I have to go outside this morning is making sure that my porch is such that the mail carrier can walk on it and deliver the mail without falling. If they think that the porch is a hazard, they can just walk away from it according to the guidelines we got at the beginning of the season.

I am grateful for non-icy areas outside my house.
