I feel so sorry for all the birds and animals that live outside. Everything is frozen solid. Where do birds, horses, etc. get a drink of water? There are so many birds in the trees and at the bird feeder. I am sending to everyone...
OK. I feel sorry for you and especially for myself. I am FREEZING! We lowered the temperature inside by 2 and I don't like it.
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.
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!
