looks like quite the swirly went through there. on the national weather map it's still well formed.

we normally don't grow carrots here (too much clay in most gardens and too many critters that will eat them), but also i like turnips fried enough to get a little brown on the edges.
i'm sure i'd like them though as i do like either of them alone enough and a combination would be fine. :)
we have had some new wrinkles in our heating system this year...
last year at about this time we needed to replace our furnace. that was accomplished and we didn't have any problems since then until yesterday and this morning.
the issues could be that the propane tank is getting low (the call...
we have freezing fog in the forecast for this evening. i just thought that was a new fancy name for frost but no, it really is something different... or at least i think it is... (sorry, i'm not a morning person and i've had two of them today :) )
in funnier news we rang my SIL and sang...
i hate cleaning so much that i had breakfast and went back to sleep and then when i woke up i laid there for an hour pretending i was asleep so i wouldn't have to get up. to put an end to the shenanigans i just got up and told myself i am not cleaning today so at least i can do something else...

and speaking of bits of green there are bits of green all over the place from the deer eating the cedar trees and digging down...
anything with cheese seems to tempt me way too much and i'll burn myself often enough like that. pizza right out of the oven when i should know better.
i did a lot of caulking of cracks and foam filling of some gaps and that really did help. i used to feel drafts in my room when the wind blew and now i don't. so over the years since i did it it has probably paid for itself already.
there's a lot of edges to our siding...
wear a hat and warmer clothes, you can keep the thermostat set lower.
i have blankets on my bed and can type with my hands under the blankets if it is extra cold and it is bothering me.
Mom doesn't like these approaches and so this season we've crept up yet another degree on the thermostat (i...
