mid winter ish

Mid winter in the long piazza. Television was in town... and so were all the young folk.
Not all our winter days have been this good, but there are far more good ones than dull ones. It is a bit chilly in the evenings and mornings though. This morning I wore a hat for the second time. It's so true, we lose so much heat off the top of our heads. However, in looking for the percentage (I thought it was 40%) it seems that the myth busters have been at work. This site claims we lose only 7% through the scalp. (Scroll down to the second part of the article). More accessible is this article though. I too prefer the myth to the facts!

Today I am grateful for dry firewood stacked beside the fireplace.
