Kitchen Table Odds n' Ends

I have never so impatiently welcomed or waited for spring in my life!!! My kitchen table is being used as a storage bench right now. The ground is frozen, and they are calling for snow tonight. The grape vines keep growing each day, lol:). 

Prepping for the Winter Weather

As ice and snow flurries storm the east coast, I sit inside where it is warm, and enjoy winter soup and family... 

Thankfully, we prepared for the storm by stocking up on food items, kerosene for the portable heater, gas for the generator, and wrapping faucets, hoses, and lines....

Animal water troughs were filled, heat lamps were activated, and vitamins were distributed. All animals were given extra food and bedding. 

Hoping all people and animals alike are as safe and comfortable as we are. Provided temporary shelter for a "stray" dog today (and food/water) because of the freezing temperatures.... 

NOAA Weather

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is THE place to go for accurate weather forecasting. I get so fed up with local and other weather reporting........ This is the ONLY place I reference anymore.
