It was 11 yesterday morning, about 16 this morning and the freezing rain/snow combo is about to hit. We're under a weather advisory till tomorrow at 7 a.m.

We've had enough winter already!

Kathy, congrats on your BR eggs. Tentatively put me on your schedule for around March. I have to coordinate eggs from our other Kathy in Florida and Boggy Bottom Bantams in south GA so I can do it all at once.

Me, too! I can't wait! Sweetie, did you ever quilt that Paint Box Stars quilt top I sent you? If so, I'd love to see it.

No, I have still not done it. I have 5 quilts sitting here waiting to be quilted. I hope to get them done this winter.

You actually have a business doing that, right? I'm about to do a Tennessee Waltz quilt, which is a combo of a "54-40 or Fight!" block and the Snowball block.

Well, that's the thing with global warming.....it causes extreme temperatures....not just on the warming side. Extreme warming means extreme cold as well. I think it is meant to show more or less that we are ruining the earth's "equilibrium" so to speak.

Okay, I do not have enough wine in me (read: none) to discuss these topics. Must. Go. Home.

Stocked up on groceries today at lunchtime. Going to get gas on the way home and hope I make it before the icy freezing rain and sleet hits. I hope to be home and have all the animals tucked away safely before the storm gets here. I will be bundled up on the couch with a giant glass of wine and some cookies.

We had chili made with our stewed tomatoes and herbs from last year, then baked sliced apples with cinnamon and a little streusel topping and I'm drinking coffee with whipped cream. I'm warm now.

You make us feel like idiots!

Hello everyone! Sorry I haven't been on here much lately, I've had FINALS (

) all week and have had a ton of studying to do. I only have two more tests, both tomorrow, and they're not finals. Still stressed! The chickens are all good and Zucchini, my EE, squatted! Woo-hoo! Pardon if I act a little dumb, I decided not to read through 16 pages of the thread to catch up.

I had old pizza warmed up in the oven and am now sitting on the couch with my wine and cookies, as planned. My deck is super "shiny" already. One of the dogs already slipped and fell outside on the ice. I might have to crawl outside in the morning. I actually took work home with me, assuming I won't be able to leave tomorrow.

Just let the two young dogs outside for a potty break and they both were sliipping and sliding like Bambi on the frozen pond. I went out in my crocs and can push off and slide a few feet

Yikes! If I can make it as far as the back deck, I might actually sit down and just scoot down the back steps....craziness!

Wine and cookies just don't sound good together, to me.....

Brock cooks .... not much Marie Callender for me now.

He makes a big mess, too! Good cook, only fair at clean up.

40* here today, and the same for the rest of the week is forecasted. Be very careful on that ice!
