Thanks Junie.

Stay safe Sheri...a little snow is just as dangerous, if the area is not used to it. Tell DH if he doesn't fix the generator that you will use his money to buy a new one lol

Tina, a bare roof is scary. I pray the weather cooperates until the new roofing is applied. Do you use asphalt shingles there?

I took a nasty fall on the ice yesterday....(while going to the shed to get the salt, to melt the ice where I ended up falling. egad ) My sternum is so sore that I had a hard time to breathe yesterday, I woke up to stiffness and aching in my left shoulder area...front and back. DH has given me a lecture to sit and rest for the day.

Good Morning !

Sounds as if you need to follow your DH's advice, Sunny. Better to be safe than sorry.

Temps still at 1*F. Silly thing is the temps are forecast to go up to 40*F tomorrow...crazy.

Yes, Sunny. Asphalt shingles on the peaked portions and rolled asphalt on the less angled parts. All over tar paper.
Keep warm everyone!
Good morning. I think I will wish everyone a warm Wednesday. It seems like a proper theme for the day.
And stay safe!

I bet asphalt shingles take a beating there with the heat, Tina.

It is snowing here...just the light, big flaked, 'looks pretty' kind.

Sorry for the fall Sonny. And I keep saying I'm going to call and have a generator connected to our house and I think now I'll do it for sure.

We've gotten more than 4 inches of snow and it's still snowing. Supposed to be in the 40's tomorrow though so it won't last long.

We're still snowbound. Sort of nice to be forced to stay home. The main roads are clear but we're rural so our back roads are a mess.

Yes, sometimes it can fool you. When I went out last week, Rod told me to watch the ice. Well Worden had had bad roads, but everyone else had clear dry roads....ya gotta wonder about some towns road comissions.

Glad you got your roof on Tina. Are you expecting rain?

We've still got some snow on the ground but it's supposed to be in the 40's today and I think in the 50's tomorrow. Schools have been closed for 3 days so I hope this is all we get for the winter or they'll be having class into the summer. Shelley was talking about the difference of playing in the snow in the country as opposed to the city. Shelley's gang is pulled around by a four wheeler over miles of land rather than sliding down a hill on a sled. Darbi, being at college, was going down a hill on a trash can lid and cardboard. Where there's a will there's a way.

Sheri: tell Darbi to "borrow" a cafeteria tray at her college & use that for a sled. They work amazingly well.

Glad the roof repair is a good one Tina.

When we were kids, we had a neighbor who took a car hood and dismantled it. He then rounded the edges and we used that for sliding. We'd all pile on and take the slide of our lives...good memories. The worst part was having to haul it back up the hill. lol

These days we use 'crazy carpets'...nothing like a 4 ft sheet of 'weigh nothing' to carry back up.

It is storming at the moment..another 6 inches.

Congrats on the good roof repair, Tina. I am happy for you.
Sunny, yay for good memories. I think we as kids had a better childhood than kids do today. JMO, but hey......
Also sorry for the "once again" snow. spring/Summer needs to get here ASAP.

Rod has left for the day, I need to get going to run errands and get them out of the way. It is supposed to be nice this afternoon, and I really should go out and cut back my lirope. It is time for that.

Errands done. Lirope is cut back. It looks to as if it needs to be dug up and divided. So, this so this spring I will do just that,

Lovely weather here today. I didn't even need a coat and tomorrow is supposed to be 66° tomorrow. So crazy.

We don't cut our lirope back until February. I think it always needs to be divided. It's a furious multiplier. Wish beautiful flowers would do like that.

Well this time the dividing times out well. We are going to move at some point, so I intend to put up 2 or 3 pieces of my lirope in pots in the spring. I can take it with me that way. I took my chive plant with me from the farm in the same manner. That too will be going with me once again.

It was nice here as well. A bit above 50*F. But all I had on was a jacket, and no gloves or hat.

NOTE:

it is now 10:16 pm

I am in to say good night & sweet dreams to you all wavy

I planted liriope before but it never over-wintered...it needs zone 5 at least. It was pretty though.

It is a cold day today, DH will have to do the snow clean up...I re-pulled the muscle in my back. I better heal quickly...we have a major storm ahead on Tuesday with almost 2 ft of snow to fall. I have no idea how I am going to be able to deal with it and the farm chores...DH will be at work for a 18 hour shift.

Any takers? lol

My bladder had me up around 5.
Good morning. I am nearly ready for a nap now.
Sunny, our temps were very moderate until a couple of days ago. Now we have nights in the low 40's that raise about 10 degrees during the days. Cold for me. I have to pass on hiring on as day labor.

If we were closer to you, Sunny, I would be sending Rod to help you. He is saying daily that he needs something to do.I am sure you could direct him.

It is around 56 now....I so wish this weather would make up its mind.

Christmas is still up. why

Good morning.
Today I will fill my tire up. (I have a slow leak) And take it off to the tire place and get it repaired. There is always something to do with a car.
I hope all have a good Monday.
