Seriously long stretch of bitter cold here. If it were December or January it would not be noteworthy, however for February this is very odd for our area. I think we may have broke records for the overnight low of -9C(16F). We have lots of sunshine in the forecast at least; it's so nice to get out for a walk to enjoy the pristine beauty of nature when there's snow on the ground. My fava, sweet peas, some lettuce seedlings, and even trays of ranunculas are coming in at night for warmth and then going outside for a few hours each day for bright light and fresh air. Good chance I will have to keep moving these plants in and out for at least another week. Oh well. Such is the life of a winter gardener. 🥶
I love the pic with the Mallard! 😍

the cold tonight is being made tougher with the winds which started kicking up last night.

currently 15F with wind chill down to 0F. not a great time to have the furnace not working all that well but we're muttering along ok so far. i need to get up in a half hour and get the house warmed up more upstairs. i'm letting the furnace run now for a while to make sure the crawlspace gets warmed up before i kick on the oven.

even without the furnace working too well the little tiny space heater kept the house above 65F for over six hours last night. i fell asleep early so waking up at 4:30am to pee and check on things. all ok. wide awake though. :) my room is about 10 degrees cooler with my door closed so that will change as soon as i keep my door open and have the oven on. 15-30 minutes and the house will be at 68-70F and Mom will be up for her morning coffee.

forecast for today is sunny and 27F, but we have five even colder nights coming up.

sorry i'm rambling on and repeating the same stuff but it's about the only excitement i get these days... :)
