Getting Grace

So in the quasi-recent ‘greening’ process of my life, I’ve picked up gardening, composting, water conservation (yes, we follow the yellow let it mellow rule in our house), and energy conservation. So far so good, except for the cold factor. Although I do live in Alabama and it is BEAUTIFUL here most parts of the year, right now it’s getting down to 35°F and I’M COLD!  So far we’ve made it without using space heaters, electric blankets, or turning on the heat, but honestly, I’m nearing my breaking point.  My little fingers are ice-cycles!  Bundling and layers are only getting me so far.  Maybe tomorrow I’ll work from work (novel idea, I know) and take advantage of their heating system.  We’ll see how long this lasts.  Maybe we can make it all winter.  If I were a betting person though, I might be inclined to bet on Thanksgiving October 29.
