The year is off to a good, but chilly, start. Our weather station recorded 11.5 degrees this morning at 5 am. The good part is that we have electricity and heat. We are running around taking care of the outside animals, carrying (hot) water and throwing seed. Still, there was a hummingbird on the feeder just after sunrise, and I have had to replace the food already once because it is only 24 degrees at 9:00. Temperatures are forecast to rise to 40's during the day, in the teens again tonight.
So, we are holing up with a fire in the fireplace, leftovers from last night's party, and the college Bowl games.
We wish you and yours a very happy and healthy New Year!
I sure do hope that hummer realizes how lucky he or she is to have you! Didn't know they could survive in that cold!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful morning here, too, altho 40 degrees warmer!
Happy New Year!
Commenting on your comment over at The Garden Bench...
ReplyDeleteFirst, I had wondered about your background because I knew an Anneke from Denmark once and thought you could be Danish, too.
Secondly, less vs. fewer - one of my pet hates! along with "over" when you mean "more than". So happy to meet a fellow Grammar Grannie. Ms. Caroline Bender at Drawing In belongs to our group, too!
There's a book I want to get by two guys who spent a year traveling around the US talking people/business owners into changing incorrect signs. The book is the story of their year. I think I will like them!
