I Know What I Said but....

                                             


I know what I said, I don't feel like Spring Cleaning but I did.  First, I moved back the stove and cleaned under there, then I cleaned weird things like the teapot and the toaster till they sparkled, and I even cleaned the fridge.  Of course life happened but now I'm back to work on the pantry.


Smokie one early morning, sad that he can't go outside (his tail was in the oatmeal I had cooling for the chickens).

The weather has been cold and snowy (-11 actual temperature this morning) but we are promised a warm up next week.   I'm sad to hear about the people without power and I hope everything gets fixed soon.  I can't imagine and I don't want to imagine.



I'm growing sweet potato vines.  Only one has rooted the other three nothing yet.  I look at them multiple times a day but it doesn't help. Maybe soon. 

How is everything in your neck of the woods?

We’re surviving the cold here, but it’s much colder up your way. I cleaned my refrigerator recently too with hot soapy water. There is always something to do inside when it’s too cold outside.

There is always deep cleaning to do when the weather gets frightful. Have a good day.

Love your pantry! You have been busy spring cleaning. Aww sweet kitty. It is surely cold your way.
We have wind chills -10 which is record cold for our area. We had just gotten someone to clear the 3 foot ice glacier at the end of our driveway. We just didn't have the strength to take a pick axe to break it up, and it took almost a week on the list to have someone plow us out. Now we have another snow today, but at least it isn't ice. More record breaking cold this weekend. I"m thankful we haven't lost power, but I'm ready for spring. Stay safe and warm.

Yes we turn to the inside here too Belinda...I don't want to be Spring Cleaning when we finally get outside!
