We, too, have joined the ranks of people who open the cabinet doors underneath the sink before going to bed at night!

It's going to be very cold here, too--right now, they are estimating wind chills of -80 degrees, with the ambient temperature around -40, on Monday morning. I don't use heat lamps, but I'm going to be stacking hay & straw around the windows and doors of the coop tomorrow--the girls will fluff up and stay warm together, if I can keep the drafts out. Usually, I want the airflow so things stay healthy, but sheesh, -40 is a bit much!!<br />Crishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113165762530349213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2264863019487640784.post-67481807100398976562014-01-04T11:03:41.927-08:002014-01-04T11:03:41.927-08:00I forgot - have you ever heard of "heat tape&...I forgot - have you ever heard of "heat tape" for water pipes? You wrap it around your pipes, plug it in, hubby said you can find it in smaller hardware stores. Or online. Keeps your pipes from freezing. Might be a good investment...

We open our cabinet doors when it's near 10 or lower. Glad you found some heat bulbs! It was in the teens last night here, heavy fog, but now sunny atleast.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00576053785355324560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2264863019487640784.post-62720111596482527592014-01-04T06:50:59.431-08:002014-01-04T06:50:59.431-08:00I just peeked back and the baby blanket is looking...I just peeked back and the baby blanket is looking good.<br />It is reassuring to be thankful for the small wonders.<br />We got about 14 inches of snow and yes they are predicting more for later in the week ( said one of the coldest snaps here in 10 years !). The barn thermometer is reading 1 degree today but luckily no wind. <br />Yet thankful all is well .<br />Keep warm and keep the faith :) this too shall pass, might as well enjoy the journey if we can .<br />Hugs,<br />WillowWillowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02507537074005136610noreply@blogger.com
