So I've ordered some new boots- I needed SuperWide calves apparently. I will still repair the Ugg boots because 2 is 1 and 1 is none, right?
The weather climbed up into the low 30's yesterday and today, with snow overnight and again this afternoon. Things got just warm enough to melt some of the previous layer before freezing again, so we have that ground condition (snow over ice) beloved of travelers everywhere--- NOT. It's better than the -18F we had though. I had to do some work on the ramp for the ducks because they were sliding off and couldn't get into their house. It was funny to watch, though. I ended up packing some of the extra snow on either side of the ramp so they wouldn't just fall off, plus some on the ramp itself. If it gets warm again though, I'll have to think of something else.
I'm getting tired of DS housesitting, even though it's for my friend. I need him to come home and use those strong 20-something muscles and dig me some paths to the various outbuildings. I haven't been able to refresh the duck's litter ever since all that snow fell; I can't get to the shed where the shavings are stored. This is shaping up to be a winter as bad as the one in 1996- when so much snow fell that people couldn't throw it high enough to get it out of their driveways. I know we still aren't as bad off as people in like- North Dakota, but it's bad enough.
We finished our chores in town and came right home. Snuggled in now, with the pot of chili beans I made yesterday reheating on the stove. I will make cornbread for DH tonight, because he dearly loves it with beans. I'm debating on what to make for a dessert. Maybe baked apples tonight. I want a warm dessert.
Although I'm still working on DS's sweater, I finally started another project for when I get bored of knitting with camo yarn. Some fingerless gloves sounded like a good idea, and I had just enough yarn in an orphan skein of washable wool.
Does it sound like I'm ready for spring to come?
