Been watching this 'warmest winter ever' as it quickly depleted 250 gallons of fuel oil. Unfortunately, insulation and airtight windows are not a trait of Olde Farm Houses... ;-)
The outdoor tempthing says it's 18°F here right now on its way to a low tonight of -11°..
The three kitties that insist on going outside don't stay outside for very long, the suet feeders get stripped as quickly as Walmart runs out of toilet paper before a blizzard, and the bambis have been stomping through the yard looking for bambifood (fortunately Mrs. NoC covered her rhododendrons with burlap or they would have been consumed.;-)
The 50' tall hemlock that was at the corner of the house was cut down right before the solidified climate change fell and the bambis have been munching on the branches that are lying on the ground. I have it on my schedule to break out the chain saw and complete the dissection of the remains right after the thaw and snow melt.
In June..
How are you doing?
Not too bad. I am in the gushing nose bleed portion of my post-
chemo travails at the moment, but it doesn’t last all that long.
My next session is a week from Wednesday, and it will start all
over again. I have three more sessions, and the last one will be
on April 15, ironically. Nose will be bleeding me dry again.
And that will be the end of the “nasty drugs.” After that last
session, I will have 11 more with just the Herceptin, which is
a cancer-gene suppressor. The last one will be on December 9,
and I’m done with chemo. Yay!
It’s amazing that people live in such cold places!
