What kind of day is it? Fierce winds have made it highly desirable to be indoors, although the clear skies are gorgeous. But no amount of beauty is worth being out in a wind chill down into the 20's. Even sunshine can't help you there. Better to stay inside with a fire and some hot tea or Bailey's Irish Cream (we make our own and it's delicious).
It doesn't have to be raining or snowing outside for the weather to qualify as frightful, and so the song seems quite apropos on this very short and cold day. And it's very comforting to know that the apple trees and other fruit trees which need them are getting their "chill hours," thereby giving me hope for a lovely crop next year.
In other news, I got into the Master Gardener program. Hopefully when we start in February it won't be as cold as it was today!
Lots of frost on the ground and it's supposed to be colder tonight. I'm not a great indoor person so finding things to occupy my time is always a challenge. It's a good thing I have horses to see or I'd likely be lazy on cold days.
ReplyDeleteOh Denise, I live for these days because to me the summer heat is so difficult. Love the cold -- except when it's windy! We live at the top of a hill and it really howls up here. I know windy days are not always fun to ride horses in either. But I'm fine with indoor days, as long as it's not too many in a row!
DeleteCongratulations! Wow that is quite unusually cold for out there, isn't it? It's amazing the difference between the 30s and the 20s. It's warm and bizarrely mild here and we are all quite uncomfortable with it! I'm missing snow and my unlimited walk-in refrigerator. Enjoy your warm day inside!
ReplyDeleteI have seen the weather reports from your area...60s and 70s?! That is crazy. This morning it was 26 here but the wind has gone away so it's much better. Oh, and I have your walk-in fridge, at least in the evenings! I can set my leftovers outside to cool off until morning and I'm loving that! We don't normally get to do that.
