The Old Folks Home

Goodnight Old Folks. It's going to be a deep freeze here for a few days.

It never got above 9F here yesterday. Right now, it's "only" down to 5; I was expecting below zero this morning.

The furnace is running more than it's off, but that's ok. We don't use the woodstove at these temps because it doesn't heat the basement or the mudroom, and there are pipes in those walls.

I'll bake something(s) again today to help warm up the kitchen/living room, and do a load of laundry with hot water to help warm up the wall in the mudroom with the water pipes in it.

Yesterday, I took advantage of the very cold to defrost the chest freezer. I put all the food in totes and moved them out on the porch. I found some good things, and some freezer burned chicken. Which I thought was lost, but google says otherwise! I'll braise it in bone broth in the oven (more warming up the kitchen!) and shred it for enchiladas or something.

Good morning old folks --- bbrrr - a reminder to be grateful for shelter from the frigid temps. There are many others less fortunate than we. Here's to hoping all our old bones stay warm!

Good Morning Old Folks. 29° and snowing. I wonder if we will get to our forecast high of 31°? It's very dark out.

Not sure why... but i think about that a bunch... being homeless in like Chicago... just DANG!

Not that homeless is ever a picknick... but homeless in Houston has got to be better than homeless in Chicago. Brrrrr

I am very grateful for a warm house and a roof with zero leaks (or at least.... none that I have noticed)

Goodnight Old Folks. Towns all around me are shut down with a deep blanket of snow. We have at least 4" and possibly 6" at our place. No equipment to clean local highways and city streets.

Good morning old folks, Despite cold, blustery, deep snow, whatever you may be experiencing, make a good day - happy Wednesday. If you're snowed in, enjoy the peaceful, quiet moments, this too shall pass.

Good Morning Old Folks. It was a not so toasty 13° when I got up this morning. Deep snow and some snow drifts around the farm this morning. Southern Alabama is virtually shut down.
