I think RJ has more to share, Madeliaette , but I'm not against giving away some of mine. :D Who was that masked Elara ? :unsure: :eek: :lol: Whoa! Elara 's here. And she brought more snow. :D I didn't mean to, I swear! :ohno: I don't know if we set a record here, but just a tiny bit north of us, th...

6 inches of new snow and now, looking forward to record lows. Right now at midnight, it's -13F. Spring will never arrive!

Yesterday we had a high of 69F and lots of sun. That began to change last night as the winds picked up out of the northwest about 6pm. Today? No sun and we barely hit 29F, with high winds. I wore my insulted bibs today to feed the horses, but I still got my walk through the pasture. :D So... it's al...

Nice evening, 55F, but Friday may not hit 40's and Saturday calls for a killing freeze. Might lose my pepper plant, even though covered. It's the only thing left in the garden and I'm only keeping it for the blossoms to use on my indoor pepper plants. :D Glad I'm not alone, Cayla , but sorry, too. T...

~carefully touches thread~ Is it safe? :D Nice thread name, Madeliaette . :yes: Cold here, going to be colder with a chance of snow early tomorrow morning. What I want to know is, who ordered snow? I know I didn't. :wtf: Yesterday, I stripped the last of the squash off the vines, and they are snuggl...

The bungees are a good idea, Elara . The house I got is just big enough for the one cat. I had thought about putting bricks in it before it arrived. Then I saw the size of it. But I can put the bricks on the pallet and use the bungee cord to secure the house to the pallet. I helped! ~yay!~ :D And t...

Maybe you could just set the house on the pallet, then lay bricks, inside, at each corner, or just two bricks if you do like RJ said? Or, buy a small tarp and some bungees, laying the tarp over the house. The tarp would be added rain protection and the bungees could be used to anchor the tarp. Not r...

Hi Gary. Thanks, that's my little Ory (Ory Mae). She arrived last October, as a baby of maybe a month and a half old. My son saved her from getting hit by a car and she has repaid us by being a little terror.

Hi jgc . :hello: Nice to meet you, too. :) Yes, RJ has the unfortunate misfortune of knowing me prior to my joining here. ;) I come from the same land as Nonny, Tricia... who else did I see? heh, drawing a blank. ~shakes head a few times, gets nothing~ Okay, I'll leave it at those two for now. :D An...

Yay! I'm back! wait... I'm not back, I'm new... so confused. <- ah! Little green men... er... smilies!

Hi RJ! Thanks for letting me in.

~runs off to check the locks, doors, windows, nooks, crannies, etc...~

I like to be prepared for all emergencies.
