Old Rove crossing through the little puddle of streetlamp light, coming up the steps now, tongue out, to join me companionably, sitting down here with expectant certainty of a splendid, non-skimpy ear rub. In a couple of minutes, then, I’ll go in and upstairs to Julia. And tomorrow I’ll make a start on planning; making notes and lists. Have to seal all the ground-floor windows, I think, in our house and Aunt Ada’s. Maybe have her move in with us for a week, that would be best. Figure how much food to get in, and coal and wood; at least a cord. All the things I’ll have to do—okay, Rove, in we go—to get us ready for the Blizzard of ’88.
