Yesterday was just awful in DFW. Ended up with a total of 136 cars and trucks in one crash, 30 people injured and 6 fatalities. That does not speak to any of the other wrecks. But today is a new day.
And yet, the Winter Fairie is not done with us yet. Hubby made it to his Glaucoma doctor and is heading back now. He will probably pick up bread since we are into setting records this February. We might get close or even break the over 200 hours below freezing record. And Monday is another front with snow showers due. Thank goodness it is President's Day, a holiday for some people and some schools. The good news is that the weekend starts in just a few hours. So...
As you probably guessed, we are staying in until at least Tuesday. Yes Wendy, we have 4 small dogs that have a doggy door. It is closed when there is lots of mud or wet ground. They get to come in one at a time and get their feet wiped! Blessings & Hugs!
I know a lot of you are really cold and have a lot of snow and I pray everyday that you are safe and healthy. Please pray for Texas. Texans do not handle icy conditions at all and they all think they can drive in it. This morning most major highways in DFW are closed somewhere on it due to a fatal wreck. There are areas where people are trapped in their cars and can't get out because of so many cars around them. A report of one person who got out of his car and was hit by a car sliding into him and it killed him. There is an area where 70-100 cars were piled up. I know some of you have this in winter but we just are not used to it in our area. There are 18 wheelers hanging off of bridges. It is so sad.
We have been below freezing for 2 days now. Our next cold front is Friday and we will drop below freezing and stay there for 4-7 days. Single digits are due for a couple of nights. Our pipes are not prepared for this and I worried about so many people out of work being able to afford the electricity. So thank you and please stay safe and warm. Sorry this note wasn't so cheery.
It's a rainy cold day here and I'm thinking it's a day for me to make a big pot of soup. I always make extra to freeze in quart containers for later meals.
Busy week for me. Yesterday hubby and I started a project and 5 hours later we were at a stopping point, so we quit for the day. Today, Ole Man Winter surprised us 12-15 hours early. So we had to bring in plants, throw the plastic over some and cover others. Then we had to go to drop off our tax information and thanks to "illness in that area," for the first time ever, we couldn't wait while she did them, sign them, pay for them and be done. So who knows when we will hear from her and get our refund. After we picked up an order at the Vitamin Shoppe we came home with our WhatABurger taquitos. Several hours later, after researching Mac programs equivalent to Windows programs because some Windows programs don't work on iOS, I finally gave up and decided I had better get here to see what you have been doing.
Are you decorating for winter? Or has winter decorated for you already? I know that it will probably get us once or twice in the next 7-10 days. Do you ever feel like this?
I do believe this is how our area handles everything nowadays. Just don't forget our pets and feathered friends. Blessings & Hugs!
Good morning my dear friend, today in Seville it rains, it is windy and cold. I like it, since we can't get out because of the virus. Have a good day ... take care! Kisses
hi there, how was your week-end? it's been freezing here, don't think it's gotten past 20 since last friday. i am so ready for spring! hope you have a nice start to your week...warm hugs..mk
Well, the sun finally came out this afternoon and with that a slight warming, repeat, slight. I usually change my nails about every 3 weeks and I finally got that done late yesterday.
So now I'm officially ready for the Super Bowl. Oh no, I mean Valentine's Day. I have always painted my nails and used to make my own swirl colored nails to put on. Now I use ColorStreet! They just stick on and are already decorated but come plain too.
Thought this was a cute idea if anyone is looking for something to make with their grands. Could be made out of paper or felt.
Thanks for your friendship and enjoy every day as if it were Valentine's Day!
