Preparing for Cold

To prepare for a  winter storm that is expected to come into our area in the next couple days, we did a bit of work around the house to be ready for the possibility of a power outage. We got a load of wood in and stacked it on the porch; got the fireplace all cleaned up and ready for use; covered most of the windows with foam board and plastic sheeting to keep out the cold; and have plenty of canned foods and water to outlast the storm.
The boys did a great job helping load, unload and stack the firewood.
