I guess we got winter. AND we can be very proud of ourselves to have planted the garlic in the snow this weekend because it isn't supposed to be above freezing all week.
Not that I'm complaining. On the contrary--I'm all for this cold weather. I hope it kills off the entire world population of grain moths. I think we finally have driven the beasts from our house but that does NOT mean that I don't still carry a grudge. With any luck, it kills garden slugs as well, but I would be content with just the pantry moths.
Other good things about cold weather;
* It gives me a chance to wear the 20+ sweaters I've knitted over the years. Ditto the wool socks
* When I want to go to bed early, I don't feel like such an old lady. If it gets dark at 5:00, one can start contemplating bed at 5:00. This is obviously what nature intended.
* I can make things for dinner in the crockpot that would be considered "pasty muck" at any other time of the year
* Christmas
* The lawn is dead and doesn't have to be mowed or watered for several months. YAY!
* The canning equipment is put away
* The cats are less likely to catch any "gifts" as half their quarry flew south for the winter
* Flannel pajamas.
