Johnny and I were iced in twice this week. We were in the 20s every night and one of those days, it stayed in the 20s (I think I remember that). I have looked at the temp gauge so many times this week, I forget when it was what.
I heard when this last snow/sleet/ice came in, thousands in Fort Worth were without power. I was afraid Johnny might be without power but that didn’t happen, thank goodness.
We are in the 50s today with sun so banks of snow/ice are melting. Last night, all the outdoor metal furniture were covered with ice. Bob took Yorkie, Prissy, out the front door (on a leash) and a man stopped his car to scrape the ice off his windshield and Prissy tried to go to him, stepping on ice and just spinning her wheels - not going anywhere. Both Bob and the man had a good laugh at the little dog trying to get traction on the ice. She also does not like stepping in snow.
I hope this is our last serious problem with the roads.
Our poor little dog has slipped, slided, and fell down so many times this week. We have a fenced in yard for her, so I didn’t have to get out and risk falling.
I was concerned with my cabbage, broccoli and strawberry plants in the raised gardens when we had ice and snow. The loved it. We’d packed them with straw, and the grew right through it. I need to check the potatoes in the community garden, we’ve also had some good rains and the garden has a lot of puddles in the walkways, so I’m waiting for the water to “sink in”.
