good morning...hope all is well in your world. sun is shining bright here today, the birds are singing...and not so cold. hopefully that's a sign all of this really bad winter weather is done reaking havok on this country. my thoughts and prayers go out to people in texas who are suffering . i wish you a day of happiness and peace...mk
Still in the deep freeze here. They are calling for a warm up into the 40's next week. Look forward to that. I hope you enjoy the weekend no matter the weather! Blessings, Nancy
We are one of the lucky ones with electricity back on, haven't lost water, and no broken pipes. However, we are only 26 this mid Friday morning. I still have lots of friends with no water or boil water advisory. Most, not all, have electricity. So many businesses, hotels, and homes with broken pipes. Store shelves are empty and gas stations are too. Trucks have not been able to get here to refill anything.
We were above freezing a degree or two yesterday with the sun which started snow melting. Then got to 15 last night which has made the roads icy. The sun is shining today and by Monday we are hoping the snow will be gone. We have so much to be thankful for today!
So I thought I would share with you some of our fun pictures. Hope you can view the links and I anxiously await your responses.
It's a very wintry morning and everyone is just waiting for the big snowstorm. Forecast is 8-10 inches today and overnight! My shrubs out front are already almost covered from the last snow. Hope your weather is being good to you! Hugs, Nancy
Hi, my friends, thank you, thank you, thank you, for all your wonderful comments. They have lifted my spirits. I do hope you are healthy and happy, and doing fun things.
Oh my gosh, it has been so long since I have been able to spend any time here on The Hill. I'm quarantined/out of work since March and I am busier than I have ever been. I started replacing rotten siding last November and a freak snowstorm dropped almost 2 feet of extremely soaking wet/heavy snow. So, there sits the bottom of my front wall all torn off and waiting until Spring for me to finish, along with my porch, torn off the house listing/sinking backward. There are buckets under it to keep it solid/sturdy.
In September refer died so I had to have a new one installed. It was on it's last leg and not cooling, and at the bottom was freezing veggies. Well, the delivery guys were kids and couldn't grasp the basic fundamentals of the mechanics of the mask, so I ended up catching the common cold (rhinovirus). I wore 2 masks, so that pretty much proves to me what they are saying about: my mask protects others not so much me; but others masks are what protect me more than mine does. I do have N-95 left over from working construction the last 45 years, with a double bandanna on top of that.
All the holidays have been quiet 'cause I can't go anywhere & no one can visit. The virus has been wicked spiking here in NH; and now we have the variants. So I am so careful, washing anything and everything as it is brought into the house, and lots of hand-washing.
Working on taxes now, and getting rid of clutter, and sorting/sprucing-up/repairs/maintenance/deep cleaning. Oiy!!! Then with what's been going on since all of 2020 with that putrid, fly-infested, steaming, orange pile of pig diarrhea, desecrating our Democracy and the Capital. I can't even process any of it any more. I'm in the Twilight Zone!!!!
Well, have a great Valentine's and Winter, I'm still planning on getting here on The Hill a whole lot more often. Stay happy and healthy and have fun.
