Catherine Love~ Ramblings from my Heart and Home

Chilly Days

Oh, it is downright C-O-L-D in my part of Texas this morning!  Same thing yesterday morning, and the afternoons haven't been much warmer.  I'm ready for a "normal" Texas day.....warm to hot & steamy!

The garden is hanging in there, our friend Mike has been covering up the tender things- squash, cucumbers, tomatoes.  Actually, the tomatoes have a temporary greenhouse with a light in it.  They still looked OK yesterday, but I'm not sure that last night did them any favors.  Being a bit more practical, I would have just picked the green tomatoes, brought them in to ripen, and planted something that won't mind the few cold snaps we get.  But, this is all new to our friend, and I'm having fun watching his gardening enthusiasm . 

We're still in the process of getting everything moved in here.  My we seem to have a lot of "stuff"!  Squishing a homeschooling family of 5 into a small 2 bdr mobile home is quite interesting, to say the least.  But, we've found a place for most of the books, so it is good .  When the weather warms up we'll probably be spending lots of time out on the patio, which will become our "outdoor living room".  Right now, its covered in empty boxes and assorted things that either don't fit in here or need to find a new home "just because" .

OK, time for tea (hot and steamy) and some Christmas music.  We're baking cookies today!!!

I'm missing the warmer weather too. I don't mind lighting a fire in the fireplace though. We hope to make dough for a gingerbread house today, so I guess we are kindred spirits today.
