“Another lifetime.”
Exactly, LOL! Imagine how James Bond felt at the end of his life, looking back! ;)
James Bond or his stuntmen?
It’s ugly, here. Trying to decide if I should go shovel some, or see if the wind does it for me! Ugh! After the snow, DANGEROUSLY cold temps. Sub-Zero. Double-Ugh!
Today:
Very windy with snow, heavy at times; blowing/drifting snow is likely.. Snow accumulations of four to eight inches during the day are likely. Nearly steady temperatures in the lower 30s through the day Wind: E/NE 25-35 MPH with gusts to 50 MPH
Tonight:
Very windy, and cold with occasional snow, heavy at times during the evening; significant blowing and drifting, with difficult travel. Additional snow accumulations of two to four inches likely by morning. Wind: N/NW 20-30 MPH with gusts to 40 MPH.
Tomorrow:
Windy, colder, snow showers/flurries; significant blowing/drifting snow may make travel very difficult. Storm total snow accumulations of eight to twelve inches or more are likely. Temps falling through the teens Wind: W/NW 15-30 MPH
We are in the middle of 8-10 inches and winds could reach 50 mph. Not going anywhere. Local businesses and restaurants closed a couple of hours ago. Sigh, we are warm and comfortable.
Going out in a few to shovel for the FOURTH time in two days. Some drifting last night with winds from the north, but all in all not as bad as I thought it would be.
Now, we go into the DEEP FREEZE, which is worse. Not fit for man nor beast! Blech!
My mother had a christmas cactus just like that! (I wonder what happened to it...)
Number 2...A gardeners dream....your garden with a view across the fields to wooded groves and distant tree lines!
Number 12...5 ft tall fully loaded "magazines" of brussel sprounts...especially impressive! (
Number 15... A beautiful canning trophy table!
An Excellent gardeing year!
A blessing! So glad you have found that house! Thanks for sharing!
(Off to do things including running the car for a while.)
15 inches so far now the deep freeze same as you and the lake effect snow machine kicks in snow each day for the next 4 days. Hubby plowed but we are not going out anywhere. TV Mass tomorrow from the diocese for us. I used what we had on hand to bake this amazing bread. I even had basil frozen in olive oil and our own dried tomatoes. It’s amazing, next time though about twice as many chopped tomatoes.

I used kefir instead of buttermilk.
