"Brrrrrrrr"

Thats "Text" for I am cold.

Ok who unplugged the heater? So is this Global Warming? This is way too cold for the south. It was 35 when I got up at 4:15 and now it has dropped to 32. The weather man is calling for it to drop another few degrees this morning before starting to warm up.

Fortunately we built a nice fire in the stove and another in the greenhouse stove so I woke up to a warm house and a pretty warm greenhouse. (55 deg) I ran out with my robe on and stoked the fire and got it heating back up. I did the same in the house and after a hot shower and a nice cup of coffee, I felt pretty good. I hope my son appreciates me keeping that fire going and saving all the plants. We still have a lot blooming at "Wadmalaw Gardens". (his web site) Drop by and say hi to him if you have time.

Have a wonderful day,
Greg

Well here in Ohio this morning we have 8 above, I have no idea what the wind chill factor might be. But it is COLD.

I know what you mean... I used to live in North Carolina and when the temp would fall it would chill you to the bone. Must be all the moisture in the air.

Of course, this morning it was -4 with a wind chill of -20 as I waited for my windshield to defrost... guess it's all relative.

Here in Canada on the West coast it is a balmy 35F and rising - well balmy for this time of year anyway. :)

I am freezing!!! It says on the AOL weather that it's 35 here and feels like 25 with the windchill. I believe it.

It's (((burrrr)) cold, foggy and drizzly here today. But not that cold. I could just picture you in your robe getting the fires going and sipping on your coffee. Good start for the new year!!

It's cold all the way up the coast :) It was twelve degrees here in Pa when I woke up! It's finally starting to feel like winter around these parts :)

Today I'm having fantasies about 35! We got up this morning to just 5. That's a harsh way to wake up!

Hey Grandpa, What's for Supper

Image
Were havin fried chicken so crisp and hot, With tatters and gravy make sure and take a lot. There’s green beans and fatback and biscuits with butter, And cold cold milk, straight from the udder. And fer desert, get ya some pie, There’s sweet tater, apple and of course yer favorite shoo-fly. YUMMMM YUMMMMM Hee Haw was one of my father’s favorite shows. He loved it for the ummmmmmm music. Or so he said. This morning, I was thinking about what to have for supper. A couple of things came to mind. First there was some chicken in the refrigerator but I remembered Salmonella and decided not to fix that. I bought a beef roast yesterday but now I am having second thoughts because of possible Mad Cow Disease. I could always make a salad but we might get e-coli from the lettuce. Ok the only thing left is water but with all the mercury and arsenic in water these days, maybe I will just sit quietly and breathe. I just hope there isn’t a smog alert. Then I thought why not just go out for dinner. The...

The legend of Flat Stanley (A Horror Story)

Image
There are a few things in life that upset me: Spiders, rude people, unruly children and spilling my coffee to name a few. But nothing gets my blood boiling faster than hearing the name Flat Stanley. On the surface, Stanley sounds like something innocent, but I am here to tell you that he is evil and has the power to tear your family apart. Flat Stanley was the brain child Dale Hubert, a third grade teacher from Ontario Canada. Back in 1995, he decided to start this project to inflict pain on unsuspecting parents and students as well. The concept is simple: You take a picture of Flat Stanley and decorate it. Then you cut it out and there you have it….Flat Stanley. Then you send it to other people and they take stupid photos of them with Stanley or you take him on vacation with you in order to ruin your vacation and Dale should be shot or better yet put in a pot of boiling oil and slowly fried and tortured and and and Ha Ha….Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha….Whahahahahahahahaha Sorry this happens every ti...
