I fell asleep by 12:30AM and awoke in a coughing fit at 9:00AM. It was such good sleep.
The temperature outside was 20 degrees when I got up and there was an inch of ice on the ground. The power stayed on except for a few moments during the day.
I hung some pictures in my room and tended to email.
I hoped for an important phone call all day, but it never came.
I spent much of the day reading Angels & Demons. The book is wonderful.
The ice melted a little during the day, but things are refreezing tonight. I hope the power stays on despite the tree tops that are leaning on the power lines. When the wind blows the power flickers.
My brother, James, shot the ice off of some of the trees this afternoon, but we could still lose power if the tops fall out of the trees or the trees fall. We have plenty of pines that could cause a problem.
I haven’t much to say tonight. I really want to finish my book.
Always, 
Jo Ann
