Snowing & blowing here since 10 a.m. .... we should be getting 12-24”. Ugh.
Ugh is right. We have only had one instance where we got snow of 21” and that was in the early 1980s. It appears that this storm will be East and South of us. Praise Be!
Can’t complain-it’s been pretty moderate for Missouri. Heating bill is 30% under last year’s Jan. use. Still, the older I get, the colder I get, and the more my bones ache in the winter.
Have been experiencing quite a lot of hip pain the last 2 days, so am going to have to avoid laying on that side for a while-that usually helps to clear it up. Might need to get a new mattress - have been thinking that might help.
It’s hard for me in Central TX to imagine what you, and those in the storm must be going through. Prayers for warmth, safety, no power outages, and no slips or falls outside for all affected by the weather.
Been snowing here, too. Not much going on. Still adding to
the compost bin as we have for 30 yrs. now. Husband has
started burning printed stuff in the wood heating stove; so
I guess he’s not going to put any more ashes on the garden.
We have built up the soil until it’s in pretty good shape.
Have had a limited amount of garden vegs and fruits. Good
organic tomatoes. - Houseplants aren’t doing all that well.
I rubbed the clay pots in sweetened yogurt. A mistake. The
sugar just sabotaged things and made the pot a streaked
black fungus color. I put half an aspirin in both pots and
watered them; hope that helps. Winter’s difficult. Having
to keep the woodstove going all the time. It could be
worse! - I don’t think we are really able to have a very
large garden any more. I’ve had to accept limitations on
what I’m able to do. :o( Used to freeze a lot of stuff;
don’t feel like doing it now. So I do what I can do.
