Dreaming of Spring Gardening in the Middle of a Wisconsin winter part 2

I waited too long. my bananas are way over ripe.

When our bananas are to the point we don't want to eat them, I toss them into the freezer, peels and all. You can put them in a large ziplock. Then when you want to make the bread just take them out in the morning and let them thaw in the kitchen sink.

They returned at 7 and have been working since. Hopefully we get water yet tonight. I am so grateful for all the work they are putting to get this done.

I sure hope you get some water soon,
isn't it unusual for plastic lines to go bad ?
Speaking of going bad,. yesterday the car began acting up about 8 miles from home, it bucked and sounded like a locomotive, could not accelerate above 15 mph. I told Annie to just keep driving, if it blows, it blows, we made it home,,. I suspect some ice in the gas tank melted,, put some Heet into it, seemed to fix it, took it for a test run and the problem came back. next step is to siphon the gas out of the tank,.
Annie is in bed. very bad cough, kind of like flu symptoms. no fever,
she went to the walk in clinic for a pain in her back, I think she caught something from there,.
I never thought of freezing bananas like that, will keep that in mind,. I like my bananas more toward the green than ripe,.for eating,.

We got water last night around 10 pm. The pipe didn't go bad Jim. It got plugged up with rust and iron. The new line should be good for the rest of our lives here. Yard is a mess, but we can fix that. Been washing and cleaning as much as I can.

Sending good wishes for Annie

We like bananas on the green side for eating as well!

Count me in, too, with wishing the best for Annie!

water for Lisa !! for the next few days she will be turning on faucets just to see the water flow .
Annie seems to be coughing a lot less, thank you all for the best wishes, it must have helped,.
38F at 8am,
today I am going to try to siphon the gas/water out of the car,.good thing it is well above freezing.

Jim make sure no one can see you trying to siphon gas. I hate for someone to call the police on you.

I'm doing a lot of laundry. I'm a bit fearful the water will stop again. It will take a few days for that to go away.

Seems we might be in for an early spring. Remember that muskrat we caught. He might be better at predicting spring than the other big rat, the ground hog.

60 degrees and sunny yesterday; a blizzard warning for tonight.
