The predicted "freeze" is coming soon. I, although my husband said not to until he was home, went out to shovel some of the deep snow in the drive. Thankfully, the nephews showed up and plowed the entire drive.
Hubby made fun of my BPA free, food grade water jugs. They hold 7 gallons each. They will be filled and ready if our pipes freeze. Our wind chill is said to feel like -25°F so I will write a list and make sure all the laundry is done, water is available for animals/us, all the dishes done, etc. I am already with oil lamps, oil, and extra wicking. Wood is split and on the porch, but we'll split more before this coming Friday.
I threw together a crock pot soup with items that needed used up and some leftover ham. It was nice to have a hot soup after shoveling. I made skillet bread to go with it.
