I believe that, in bad weather, if you don' t have to go out -don't. Certainly not if it's 18 degrees out and icy conditions.
Such has been the weather here the past two days. So I didn't go out. At all.
I stayed in, nested, and basically just rested and relaxed. I worked, cleaned out my humidifier and changed the filters on all of them, cooked, napped and tended to my plants. I even managed to notice that my African Violets have started to bloom again for the first time since the forced re-potting a few months ago. Wolfi knocked down the original pot and broke out so....
But after 2 days of this, I needed to get out.
MISTAKE. I should have waited for Spring. I'm the ground hog and would happily have stayed in if I knew how frozen my car would be. I realized how bad it was ahead of time and found the de-icing spray that I have had for just such an emergency.
Thats some amazing stuff actually. The ice encasing my car was 1-2 inches thick in places, but this stuff cut rght through it. I even sprayed it on the tires and the ground around it to make the traction better.
I was so surprised how fast that i was able to de-ice the car with that. I need to always have that Prestone De-icer with the built in icec scraper on the end.
But I ventured out and taught some kids. Came home and had.... PIZZA yay!!!!
Not a bad way to end a stir crazy day....

off topic, I know...but what are you doing in Paris?
Shh it's a secret.
Actually - it's more like wishful thinking.
I'm right where I always have been - an hour and change away from you guys!
Glad to hear from you - hope you are all well!
LOL!!!
I'm all for wishful thinking! But wouldn't you rather wish for some place warmer? :)
Tempting but no. I hate the heat. I hate the humidity.
San Diego might be nice - it's never too hot there.
Paris is the city of lights and I loved my time spent there - I would love to retire there someday. Not likely - but I can dream!
It is a BIT cold right now though!
