Thankful for a warm home. Will be in the teens when rising, Monday. Stay warm everyone! Will enjoy the pleasure of my fireplace. Stay at home time.

Headed to bed, no celebrating, but will enjoy the warmth of my down blanket.

It's been single digits for so many days and night now that this morning (-5F) I heard some wood in the attic go "Bang" when we raised the heat from 64F to 68F. DH brought luggage down this morning; had to wait for some bits to warm up to be pliable. Can't wait for 4:45 tomorrow morning when the taxi shows up to take us to ORD. (I layer, but no coat.)

Gardenia In Al's Gritty Mix?
Q
Comments (52)
Aslan...... The fact that you said..."there still MUST be plenty of moisture scares me" worries me..lol You can't take a chance with gardenia when it comes to moisture in your root zone, especially at a time like this. Do yourself and your tree a favor and get a wooden barbecue skewer or a wooden dowel and check for moisture in the root zone to make 'absolutely' certain there is until you get use to watering the mix. You can't afford to let the root zone go completely dry and you can't afford to over water either. You have to make sure that when you pull the stick out after checking the roots that it is not dry, nor still wet. With gardenia, you need to water before it gets completely dry, evenly moist they call it..Get it? :-) Newgen..How are you? The 5.1.1 mix is good for short term plantings and the gritty mix for long term plantings within the same pots for periods of time. Both are excellent though and it's up to you to choose onne that lasts longer than the other. Good luck:-)

Carolyn, I have read a lot of Frank's work and I think she is slipping a bit. Somewhat reminiscent of A.R. Siddon's novels, which get quite repetitive in their vocabulary and plots. (e.g. I think she used "spavined" as an adjective in every book she ever wrote!). I have just finished Ian Caldwell's "The Fifth Gospel." The author claims it took him 10 years to write. In a sense, it is a "tour de force" in terms of scholarship re early Christian church history. The plot has many twists and turns. It is also a study of the separation of the Eastern Orthodox patriarchy from the Western Catholics and the papacy. The novel puts a very human face on the late Polish Pope as well as the Vatican as a small nation unto itself. (Caldwell's previous novel was "The Rule of Four.").

Current temperature in AL, what's yours?
Q

Cooler outside than in my house. I carry a hand towel around with me to wipe the sweat off my face, neck, and arms. This is crazy. I don't think I've ever noticed the heat like this before. But......tomorrow a rep is coming to check out the current duct work of my old furnace to see if it will be compatible with a brand new central air unit! I ordered a new furnace in April which they will be installing in a month or two, so after much thought and going over the figures, I called today to say I'm interested in the CA after all. Originally I declined because of the cost of the unit and the possibility of having to install all new duct work which he said would be $$$. Plus I just never thought I'd ever have CA in this old house. The cold air might go out the holes! ha. We shall see tomorrow. Oh my goodness, and I think upper 80's and lower 90s is hot. Sorry for all of you who are enduring those higher temps.

It's 5:20 AM in Huntsville, AL and it is 12 degrees! That's not including the windchill. It's a little bit too cold for me in a home that has been built to southern specifications. I always worry about the water pipes in any outside walls freezing, possibly bursting.

With precautions, this has never happened to us but it is a very common occurance in the south.

Still 12* at 6:30. We only have one bath that has pipes in an outside wall, and I have learned to leave the doors open to the sink cabinet. The heat pump can only get the house up to 64*.

It is 6:45 am here in Houston and the temperature is 30. It is nice and warm here in Freedom thanks to the electric heaters and the heat pump. I hope the house survives. I I had any faucets in the house I would have them running at a trickle. Hopefully those with those low temperatures in the south have your faucets running too. I bet there will be a fortune made for the sprinkler companies because people did not drain the sprinklers and winterize them. I remember that chore and when we lived in Oklahoma doing the winterizing of the pool. Never fun.

In central Illinois this morning it's -16. We rarely get this cold in the winter. A friend from out of state called and wants to have lunch about 25 miles away. I would rather stay in but don't want to become like my older sister and stop being social out of fear and comfort.

-5 true temp here in central Massachusetts, but was likely a few degrees colder before the sun came up. Can't imagine what last night was like for those who went outside to celebrate in Boston or NYC! Hope they still have all their appendages in good fettle... =)

It's either 15 (my phone app) or 18 (news channel) this morning. I am pretty sure this is some record low for my area. Fingers crossed that our rainwater tank doesn't freeze solid and burst. I got one drained but the other was already frozen at it's faucet.

Yep, the heat pumps struggle in these kinds of temperatures. I love the two oil-filled radiators we bought a few years ago. What a huge difference they make!

Our fireplace is wonderful, of course. It has an insert with a fan that quietly blows warm air into the room and a glass door to close when we go to bed. I've already put some wood on the embers, believe me! I've got a nice pecan and applewood fire going.

Cabinet doors are open upstairs and in the kitchen with a tiny trickle of warm water running from the faucets. I've been flushing the toilets, too. The one time our water froze in this house was for an upstairs toilet. Eeeek!
