Yesterday I tried to dry the laundry on the line. It was a tad too cold and I had to finish them in the dryer. It was 60 degrees on Monday. Fifty degrees today. Started hauling the branches, that had fallen over the long winter, to the city brush site; we kept the ones large enough to burn.
I organized the outside table where I pot the plants and start seeds. Pretty dirty after winter. Need to get seeds started – but keep them inside.
Today we have six inches of snow and temperatures have fallen to freezing; more is supposed to come. Hubby keeps shoveling the snow under the feeders, and adding more corn & sunflower seeds on the ground because the poor Juncos and Fox Sparrows have no place to get food otherwise.
I organized/rewrote a few recipes.
Spent an hour practicing Morse. My teacher (called an Elmer in Ham circles) is pushing me to get better at Morse. After today, I realized that I lost most of what I learned. It is like a second language – you must keep it up. More tomorrow.
I made cornbread today to go with home-canned chili. I put the cornbread into a loaf pan and it needed 30 minutes because I added some leftover mashed-up green chilies in their liquid, and cheese. Tasty with the few chilies in it – not too much. Satisfying lunch on a snowy day – in front of the fireplace.
I hope you all avoid the serious freezing rain and snow. Stay safe.
