Coffee anyone ?

[Alaskan]

My Daddy said when he was a boy, his Mom sprayed the bed sheets with water and turned the fan on. Daddy said the evaporation of the water cooled him off. There has been times in my life that I didn't have AC and I used that water spray trick. It works!

I would go to bed with my hair wet.

Helps a bunch.

Coffee is on.

7° should be our last single digits for awhile. more snow on Sunday...
Hopefully got the sump pit pipe all thawed yesterday, DH brought home a heat gun from work.

DH made buttered toast, thanks for the coffee. The sun is shining today! It's 11F degrees with a high of 34F today. I'll get the boiling water bucket train started in awhile, hopefully for the next to the last time. We just aren't set up for this kind of cold. I'm glad to see the end of it. My house is a wreck, floors are beyond dirty, coats hang off the barstools, blankets thrown on the couch for us to cover up with. I have kept up with laundry, afraid that water would freeze up and having a pile of dirty clothes that we need to wear. BJ has kept the dishes washed and we've had plenty to eat. So I guess we haven't done too bad. But what a mess! Probably will get worse before it gets better, now we have melting snow and mud to deal with. We have a towel for me to step on inside the door to get my boots off and that helps. I need to do a big clean up.

Just more rain here.cold enough in morning to be sleet. I'm looking for an ark! Rain 17 of 19 days here. Fortunately, I have power and boots! Could be SO much worse...BTDT. whine, whine....

I'm working insane hours...might as well, sure can't do anything outside except absolute musts....feed!

Some thoughts on posts....

We have several solar farms near me....maybe a gas run blower could help with any snow build up, certainly not like a few at home. Talking acres of panels.

@Baymule glad your TV is back on!

@promiseacres congrats on you new buns. Hope all continue to do well in this awful weather covering so many.

TX....I know the warmer weather just can't get there soon enough! Hang on! Shame you can't mellow the coming summer heat with some of this....bottle it???

Morning all, this are moving slow over here. About to go milk and feed up. Boiling water for the kids to drink, also going to make coffee. Cooking breakfast and cleaning. We barely have any water pressure so I been washing cloths in the sink to keep up with laundry. Need to wash some dishes and finish sweeping and mopping, also need to vaccumm then i get school started. Lots to do. We found some land five acres nothing on it but in a few month we should have the completely amount that they asking for it. So it be paid off and just need to put a house and barns on it then we move out there. Probably take out time clearing it baby due in Oct and my midwife doesn't drive that far lol. But I probably look into a midwife for that area because who know I may end up pregnant again and will need their services. Coffee sounds good. I gonna have to make cinnamon rolls for tomorrow. Anyways i hope you all stay warm.

You lie down on the bed, get the top covers, and flap them a few times.

DW does that. The house my FIL grew up in had sleeping porches off all the bedrooms. Effectively they were screened porches on second floor decks.

Rain 17 of 19 days here.

Did you somehow get transported to Western Oregon or Washington??

@Bruce I was thinking similar thoughts yesterday! Nope, still in VA. But I saw on weather news that we are approaching second wettest Feb in like 50 yrs. Usually Feb is one of the driest months. They say dry and cold all weekend. Rain again Tues.

Things are just weird everywhere right now. I don't feel special. Just wet!

Coffee is on. Only 1° this morning...
Freezing fog.
But staying home splitting firewood.
Making french toast.

Thanks for the coffee. Our snow is melting. It froze again last night, but I think the freeze is over and life can get back to our version of somewhat normal. Still a lot of snow out there, but I see patches of dirt!

Woo-hoo another litter this morning! So 4 out of 7, have kits. We'll rebreed the 3. Dd1 has her 4h juniors, now to convince ds's does to give him some.
