It's been below freezing most of January, but now we're in a bit of a warm spell, Warming up during the days then freezing back over at night... It took a while, but the melt has gradually happened. The only ice and snow left now are patches that do not get much sun and of course the mounds of...
🥶 Brrrrrrr!
No wonder our road is still an ice sheet, several inches thick. Please melt...it does get above freezing after Thursday.
I'm indoors a lot. Organizing my garden seeds, starting them soon.
Still have a lot of snow, even though it is melting. We did get over a foot. Garden is completely snowed in.
Trash trucks still have not collected Friday's trash. Not sure if their truck broke down or it's due to the fact that our road never gets plowed.
Anyway, here's tonight beautiful rising...
I tried Temu 1 time, figured give it a try.
I needed a good garden vest & as I am petite most of the vests they make are too huge. Most times I ended up seeing something half decent under the fisherman vest category, but again they were huge.
So...I get on the Temu site. I find & order 1 from...
Right before the snow started here, wild critters were also preparing. I have a fresh water bowl set out there daily. Birds visit it during the day, my rodent hunting fox, Little Girl visits & get a drink at night, & this dude, or dudette, visits around 6pmish lately.
It really is funny how...
Just took another walk around before dusk. The snow let up but we have round 2 coming at 7pm til 11pm. We already have a foot or so. Quite a workout just trudging through it. Pigeon loft is fine, all pigeons & the 4 Guineas are doing great.
I have 3 coops but the 1st old one is empty right now...
Looks great!
Sorry for your challenges end of 2024, I can surely empathize. That dark cloud of woe is hanging around here, too. Hopefully things get better for us all. Just gotta get through Winter & look forward to Spring.
Snow started here in the wee hours. At midnight I looked outside & there was nothing. I woke up at 3am, got some water & looked out to see about an inch of snow. Now there's about 5 inches & the heavier snow fall is expected this afternoon. We may get up to a foot.
So far...
I'm so glad we...
Diddy squat in the garden. Well, I did look at it. It is winter with evening Temps below 🥶 freezing. I can't stand it. On a positive note, we gain 1 minute of daylight each day since Dec 21st. I ache all over. Ache bad. Pain woke me up 4am. Thank goodness for heating pad, lower back & hip...
Ditto with divets here. Many of them!!! Might be moles or voles? Might be squirrels. We have both here. But it is a real mystery because I have yet to witness whoever is making them... But "someone" is surely busy, either in the wee hours of the night making them, or perhaps squirrels in the...
I haven't been on here for a bit. Had a really bad inner ear issue with migraines, doing better finally.
I did feel well enough Sunday to get outside for yard work, when we just had warm day for a change. Some of the chickens & I cleaned up the garden, as it is totally done with, but imagine my...
No rain here at all. It was cold enough for a jacket a few days but now Winds from the south have made it warm, in the 60s & 70s, but still drought conditions. I've watered some newly planted blueberries & the roses, fruit trees, etc. Not much time to do much else. Low energy too, that darn...
We've had odd fluctuations with weather. Hot in the 80s then a cool night in the upper 30s. Yesterday, I finally felt like I had some energy, so I got outside to see how behind I am in everything. Tomatoes are still there, but they are near the end. I picked several. Many went right into my...
