Granny's gone and done it again

You can make cowboy coffee! Put the coffee and water in a pan, heat it up some, then strain the whole thing slowly through a coffee filter. My MIL quit using a coffee maker years ago. She puts her ground coffee in a filter lined funnel (with a very small opening), and pours hot water over and it trickles into the cup. Kind of reverse cowboy coffee.

Whatever you do, hope you stay warm and safe. Do you have a way to cook/heat source when the power goes out?

Oh, and a few days of freezing rain is going to freak me out!!!


I'll be in the same rain storm as h2o, but I'm closer to the ocean. 5-8 inches expected over the weekend, and it will continue to rain for several more days. It's a tropical storm, and will keep the lows in the 40-50s. Big snow up in the mountains, snow level will be up to 8000' because of the warmth, so there will be a big melt down below that. I'll be surprised if there isn't flooding. Latest prediction is that we could have rain coming in for 10 more days! This could be historic! I need to set up some rain shelters out in the chicken yard for the layers.

arent you glad thats not snow ? Of course flooding can be just as bad I guess.

Gd & me put extra feed out & extra pails of water. Not going out on ice. Gd going home to mom soon. We may not have any heat but fireplace which without blower doesnt heat well.

Sounds like indoor camping time! gd stays with you?

you can make coffee in it though and that will help heat you some. Can anyone get your mattress in there by the fire but not too close ?

There's a reason I live here in expensive looneyville. Mild weather. I'm such a wimp.

Well I'm all for letting the sun shine in but l try to be respectful for neighbors and possible children's that may be over. And hubs likes to sleep in. We got blackouts on the bedroom right now. Hubs is trying to tear out a dead tree with his winch....sigh
