Good evening Annie, good morning all.

Sounds unbearable there, we had a clear night but no frost.

Doug

Good morning Geoff, hazy sunshine here.

..lots of small dreams though and bed looks like Hiroshima the day after!

Same here, 7 hours +

Doug

Good Morning all,
It is 6:30 a.m. in still sleepy Oakwood. Cold, cold temps again today (not as bad as Bill’s but still looooowwwww). This is thanks to the Alberta Clipper as they call it coming down from Canada and moving across from the west. It will bring snow tomorrow. I hope it won’t be too much because I would hate to miss my art class again. :0

An onion bagel topped with cream cheese and lox for breakfast this morning. I’m looking forward to it. Then off to the grocery store to replenish fruit and veggies and a few other things.

Larry is worried about our furnace again. It doesn’t seem to be working right, ever since last week. It is a two stage furnace, runs on high for a while to bring up the temp, then low for a while to maintain it. It only seems to be running on the second stage and fighting the frigid temps outside and all the lovely windows we have that let the cold come in. Since it is Sunday and tomorrow is Martin Luther King Day and a holiday, I’m not sure if we can get the repairman back until Tuesday.

Annie, I feel for you and your fur kids because I do remember living in homes with no AC and hot, hot temps in the summer when I was growing up south of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Not fun at all.

to Geoff, Doug, Bill, and all who are on their way.

SYL,

Sylvia

Sooooooooooo hot. I don’t really mind.. I had my ceiling fan going in the lounge and my little clip on the table fan, a spray bottle, it is an empty rosewater bottle filled with fridge cold water. Smells awesome and so cooling.

Winds came through this afternoon and were oh so welcome. They cooled everything down and blew my office about. Small price to pay picking things up..

Bed for me.

have a good one :grouphug::heart::heart::heart::grouphug:

Morning all -16 just now the sun is shining and a salmon covered sky is beautiful . I haunt had breakfast yet Im waiting for the kettle to boil .

Lets hope you can get the snow blower working this morning Bill .

Hi Geoff Doug Annie JJ Uschi and any who follows

Les

Les, I fixed the snowblower a couple days ago.

Uschi, there is room for them to turn around, but they always want to back in. I think they don’t like to back into the road.

Beautiful cactus, Doug.

JJ, I just watched a program on an underground village in the Outback and the homes maintain temps from 65 to 75 F. Of course, they are five hundred miles from the nearest city.
Bill

Doug I LOVE those doll houses!!! And gorgeous cactus!

Lulu that is funny about the name Linda. I actually never liked it!!

Steve your wife sounds amazing!!

Bill I am jealous I have never even seen a Kingfisher but want to!

I have gone from being dizzy mostly at night to all the time. Finally resorted to taking a prescription so I could get hubby to run me by Michaels for one thing of yarn and the good grocery store in Austin yesterday, which pooped me out. I have been playing this Wizard of Oz game (which my husband calls Candy Crush) too much, but that is about all I seem to want to do besides crochet while waiting for another life. It IS a waste of time, and seems to be highly addictive to boot. We have had a huge number of doves all winter, as well as other birds. But the entire flock of doves shows up at the same time.
