We're experiencing a cold snap. It was -9 this morning, but we're up to 0 degrees. 70% of our heat comes from our wood stove. The rest is from electric, and we insulate as best we can by keeping our honeycomb blinds drawn and doors closed. DH is being absolutely crazy about keeping the home fires burning, and to be honest, it's wearing on him. He's not in the best mood.
I pulled up the honeycomb blinds in my office just enough to offer my shamrock plants (which were formerly my MIL's shamrock plants) some light. My herb garden is greige now. So when I put my green shamrocks up to the window, the greige dormant chives and mint outside seem to be beckoning but the shamrocks are having none of it.
I do have to get outside and hang out with the dormant plants at some point! I've been working 10 hrs a day, and I'm feeling that cabin fever a bit, but I'm sure it will dissipate when we get back up to a balmy 30 degrees tomorrow.
How about the rest of you up North in the thick of this cold snap?
