After all the snow stopped falling on Monday and Tuesday, we had a total of seven inches. More was expected over night but we had just a dusting. Yesterday was windy, cold and snowy and today, how can two days be so different, we have beautiful blue skies and sunshine, its cold when out in the wind, the sun has a bit of heat in it and the south facing portion of the roof has water dripping off of it. Hubby had to removed the snow from the end of the driveway as the plough piled it there as it does every time the road is cleared. He wanted to get it removed before it started to freeze later today. It ends up being great big frozen clumps of snow which are difficult to remove.
We put up some lights on the front porch and the balcony railings this morning. I will start putting a few things up in the house in a week or two, also plan on buying a poinsettia then too. Christmas is not Christmas if I don't have a poinsettia. A couple of years ago, I kept one growing for two Christmas's, it was almost a tree, something happened, not sure what, however, it died. Speaking about plants,
we grow cherry tomato plants in pots during the Summer, in the Fall we cut the plant down and bring the pots inside, so they don't break during the cold weather. They are stored in a cold room under our garage, this year I left the soil in the pots. As we were looking for extension cords for the lights, we noticed one of the tomato plants had started to grow, so we moved it closer the window hoping it will grow string enough to be put outside in the Spring. Time will tell.'
Dinner tonight, BBQ ribs, sweet potato and broccoli, dessert not sure.
