I am not sleeping tonight do to the strong winds out there-which is bringing back another arctic blast. Looks like those of you on the east coast will be getting it too this round. I had two warm days to work on clearing things, especially after I was able to get through that very thick ice to make a path to the top. Yesterday I finally was able to get my car back too. Our circle gravel road has been solid ice-and the steep hill is still ice when it wasn't melting. With the super cold coming back now here too-I won't be going anywhere though. Our friends that help us out are leaving for Florida early this morning and will stay in Florida til March-don't blame them. I should have ran some errands yesterday but I just wanted to get back home.
We were still continuing to have issues with our new furnace from the original install-they had to come back out again to fix a major issue. I think it is finally right now. We keep the heat on at the woods house and have had issues getting my delivery this time. This time it was totally empty and our friend there that helps us had to bleed the lines and relight the pilot-that is in the attic. I hope this is the end of things to deal with. Fingers crossed-as they say "when it rains it pours"
A football weekend for me-KC Chiefs in the playoffs-again at home, and the Notre Dame Irish playing in the college championship game. I will watch the inaugural activities as well.
I was browsing Pinterest a bit a go and found a DIY that had me thinking of blog friend Deb in Texas-a wind chime made with tin cans This would be a pretty garden feature
I don't like the sound of wind-has always made me uneasy and nervous. It is really howling out there now like crazy-I worry about dock issues when the winds are this strong. I may just take an early shower so I can't hear it haha
I have the second bag all pinned and ready to sew. I am thinking a big pot of potato soup sounds good for today-I will see if I still have a little ham to add to it.
Stay warm and safe
We are getting another polar blast coming in tonight
ReplyDeleteThis is a very cold winter for a lot of us this year
DeleteI had totally forgot about the National Championship game! I will have to watch that. Hope that wind stops for you soon, looks like it is going to get really chilly across the country this weekend!
ReplyDeleteI think that championship game is on Monday which I was surprised about I am looking forward to that game. the wind is still going crazy here yes I think a good portion of the usa will be very cold the inauguration ceremony is now indoors and I think now just a small parade too cold for people to be outdoors for long hours glad they changed that.
DeleteHappy weekend
Oh, no, not another of those icy attacks! I hope it does not hit you too hard - at least you have it warm... Here it´s 32F and dry, no wind at all - I hardly can imagine your place.
ReplyDeleteI love that wind-chime! And... once I retire I might try to find out how to sew, too.
Oh, I wish you all the best out there! Big hugs to you and the lake!
Hello Iris, you can learn how to sew on You Tube-I have learned how do a lot of things on there. the wind is still strong and crazy here and temperatures are dropping all day. the east coast here in the states will be getting arctic weather as well brrrr. all of the ice has not had a chance to totally clear so with these very cold temps it will all refreeze again I am just not going anywhere for now. I am thinking of making us clam chowder today One thing I use a mix for is potato soup and then I add the clams and more potatoes Hugs back
DeleteGreat post today Kathy!!! I'm writing you a letter so i will save some of my comments for the letter...lol So nice of you to think of me with the windchime... That may be a nice one i will actually put outside... I find i'm reluctant to put my mobiles or windchimes outside as the sun and wind will be harsh on them... lol And i'm pretty sure if i make the one you showed hubby would be like.. .ANOTHER windchime...lol Hey we like what we like right?! Ok i'm off to write in you letter.. take care and stay warm.. We are getting cold too but i'm sure not as cold as you.. 22F tonite..brrrrHugs! deb
ReplyDeleteGood morning, we are headed back to the single digits again and the wind is relentless all night and still blowing strong ugh. hoping that blows out of our area soon. it is going to be super cold in Washington DC Monday that Trump changed things to be indoors and a smaller parade-didn't want people standing out there for hours-Reagan did the same thing for his second term. If you put a sealer on the cans after decorated perhaps that would help-or find a less sunny area-this windchime sounded fun to make.
DeleteI look forward to your letter hugs
PS ... Could you put something preemptive on your steps?? Like salt... before the weather comes??? Would that help?? deb
ReplyDeletewhen I got my car I was planning to drive into town and get a bag of ice a few groceries and go to the bank but I have been tired and over stressed trying to clear a path that I just wanted to get home. I have a little salt left but not much
Deleteooops a bag of salt-don't need to buy ice haha the salt on top of the ice with sun and above freezing helps a lot to break it up too
