welcome to SS from mid-Michigan.
if you can put a general location in your profile it will help people have some idea of where you are and what you might be talking about. :)
having lived in the UP of MI (some years ago now) i understand what it is like to live in a place that gets a lot of...
i am back in the worm keeping again!
today because we went to the greenhouse and i was with Mom and helping deliver things i could spend a few minutes talking to them. i normally don't get out much and that's my issue and they are normally really busy and i don't want to take too much of their...
if you have no pressure at all you have to figure out if your pump is shot or not, but once you know the pump is working and during really cold weather you do not want to turn off any flows you might have if they are in danger of freezing. it is much harder to get things unfrozen again if there...
i snagged two rather fluffy looking fantasy books today so i have no cares at all what the weather might do. we also snagged some donuts and potatoes so Mom doesn't care either and that was after we dropped off some food for some friends so we did our good deeds and i had a nice conversation (i...
i just checked out your forecast, not too bad for ice that i see. 0.01 twice on top of a lot of existing rain might mean not much actually sticks. but what do i know? :) hope it won't be that bad down there.
we're on the other side of this mess and the forecast only has us down for 1/2 inch...
tonight is the coldest in the forecast and then we're heading to warmer (but not above freezing). -13F not counting wind-chill. not nearly as bad as what the people on the northern plains have to contend with but cold enough for here. i had to run some errands today and i did make sure to...
today was a run an errand day so while i was coming back from that i stopped at a store to see if they had anything on sale that we'd use. scored some ground chuck at a decent price, cream cheese, limes, oranges and celery. i'll make some lime pie filling this weekend. and after i got home...
yes, it is going to be very cold, cold enough to freeze your berries off if you are going to run around without enough clothes on... (if you have berries :) )
first sort is done. :) that means all the clunkers are picked out and in the bags with the pods that will get buried in the spring.
it also means that any odd beans or interesting beans that i'm interested in possibly growing again are picked out and in containers that are marked for...
i did all the dishes three times yesterday... i'd left them go from the day before and then Mom made chocolate pies and then later again.
i had to check out the dark chocolate to make sure it was ok before Mom used it in the pies. good thing i did as we had one old bar (they were all...
i got a minor update done to the website and am working on a project that will make that process easier on me in the future. chipping away and glad it is looking like i'll have it done sooner rather than later.
keeping up progress on the bean sorting too. maybe another few days to go yet...
we're heading into a stormy night and a half but we'll probably be ok. :) leaving the heat up a bit higher tonight as the last time we lost power we'd turned the heat down more and it wasn't fun at all for Mom that morning when it was cold in here and we were trying to warm the entire house...
