Typical January weather over the past week here in Central Missouri. We got a bit of snow yesterday. Not much, but anything is a help considering how dry it’s been this winter.
I got a load of firewood home from the sawmill and unloaded onto my woodpile on Saturday. I’m still weak from being sick and I tweaked my back a bit as a result while unloading the wood.
I checked the garlic patch on Saturday and found that quite a bit of it is starting to peek out from under the 4” blanket of compost that I put down after planting.
The weather guessers are calling for much warmer temps next weekend. That would be a good motivator for me to do some pruning on my orchard trees.
We got snow too. So I’m not going out. I am still hacking and coughing, and tired too. Worst for me in over a decade, but I don’t think it’s the Flu - just really bad cold.
I hope it does get warmer this weekend. I’d like to get outside for a few minutes. Guess I won’t mess with unfreezing the door today either.
I may make some chicken soup when the chili is gone - that’s always good to help a cold.
