We made it to 8°F with an early wind chill of -6°F this morning. The snow is falling as well. Hot water is flowing again, but somewhere my husband heard we will hit a -15°F tonight, and through Wednesday afternoon. They have issued a wind chill warning.
My husband was the next one to take a fall. He beat me to the chicken coop, and as I was reaching for the door, I see him down on the ground, chicken feed scoop flown, and watering unit busted in pieces.
I brought up the fact it was high time to get those spikes on our muck boots, and we never did go looking for them. It's first on the to-do list today.
We've put in place all of the "just in case" happens. We are always pretty much prepared, but we did refill propane grill tanks (in case we needed extra heat, but our propane heat stays on if the power goes out), and we picked up a small propane tank for the small grill (as an alternate source to cook).
Let's talk "tea" today. I have blackberry leaf tea, but do any of you tea drinkers have a favorite "brain boost" tea or tea mixture?
I also like this tea for evenings, to help with a good night's sleep, but do any of you like a different tea for that?
Do you find better health results by buying medicinal teas bulk and using a tea infuser/teaball or homemade teabags?
My holy basil finally showed up, so I mixed the tea for seasonal stress (Backyard Patch Blog) I shared and made my own brew bags.
Also, I accidently bought brew bags for a full tea pot to brew. Oops. I may be using those for summer iced teas.
