I realized the other day that if we hadn't moved here "for the summer" we'd likely be in the barn right now. I never imagined we'd be here this long - but this is really a big part of why we came here: just in case things continued to not work out, we aren't stuck for another winter in the barn.
And here we are, in the throes of winter, with over a foot of snow. I think we've actually gotten more snow here than upstate, but regardless, I know it's cold up there.
This is how I know. My old ladlord is living there now with his boyfriend, and I've been speaking to him on the phone about documenting our rent for the mortgage application. He was actually complaining to me about how cold it was - how they couldn't really afford the oil to heat the place adequately - how they got a new wood stove but it still doesn't really help - how they use the other stove sometimes but not when the wind blows a certain way because it backs up.
It was a deeply gratifying conversation.

Did he mention the water freezing at the sink? I was happy to hear about your phone conversation and very happy you'all are not in the Barn now!
Love, Mom
How about pictures of Aidan and Wes in the snow!?
We don't have gloves or boots - we're going to get some today I think, so maybe later.
We are here in upstate NY and we've got well over a foot of snow too. I'm glad you've found a place to be warm for the winter. Your old place sounds like my old place -- we could never keep it warm.
Thats really great, to hear him complain!!! Its also prey nice that your not up here in that barn, but we still miss you like crazy. Isabellas cryin about the long distance relationship.
